ACLU cheers house vote blocking 9495
WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives blocked H.R. 9495, the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act, 256-145. Because the House of Representatives was attempting to move the bill on suspension it required a two-thirds majority in order to pass. This legislation would have granted the Secretary of Treasury the unilateral power to investigate and effectively shut down any tax-exempt organization — including news outlets, universities, and civil society groups — by stripping them of their tax-exempt status based on an unilateral accusation of wrongdoing.
Aw hey I went to see him last year!
I found this article about Milei yesterday to learn a bit about him and it's absolute unhinged. I read this part and I lost my shit, cackling at work:
But he quit football at 18 to study economics, going on to lecture at university, then working as an economist at various financial institutions.
In his free time he sang in a band, Everest, which played Rolling Stones songs — and he looked the part. Advertisement
Milei claims he hasn’t combed his hair since he was 13, adding: "From that moment on, the invisible hand combs my hair.”
Started researching origins of Israel/Palestine beginning in the Bronze Ages til present to dunk on everyone with their shitty takes. I am and never have been a big history person, but I've more or less gone through the Bronze Ages - 1940's and figured out surrounding context for myself, just need to flesh out my notes. I'd love suggestions on what to study that could be important to getting an advanced grasp on the relations over the years, from any time period. Plsthx
Yep, officer Davis was my SRO back in the early 2000's. He was known for harassing kids at school AND purposefully being the cop to bust kids after hours for smoking weed and such. He fucking hated teenagers
Not old enough to fit in with the oldheads, not young enough to fit in with the zoomers. This is my burden to bear
Hope I don't get banned for this, but like can someone explain to me exactly why this shit is funny and there's no nuance around it? Like, you can mourn the Muslim lives lost due to American Imperialism AND mourn the lives of the people who had fuck all to do with any of that? Like the janitors in the building for example? Like I get it fuck the state but for it to be something people post about and laugh at all day long is hard for me to grock. What if it was your family that died?
I'm not trying to argue anything or get in a struggle session around it but like, I'm just surprised that I haven't really seen any kind of pushback or critique around making that big of a joke of this.
Nimby's will complain about needles and feces on sidewalks, but when you suggest giving someone a studio where they could use drugs and shit outside of the public eye. They say "Not on my dime!"
My brother in Christ, your dime is paying to move what you are complaining about to the other side of the block!! Nothing is going away, nothing is getting solved! It makes me want to pull my hair out so much.
Obviously homelessness is much more complex than how I described it above but sometimes I try to think of ways to explain shit that will appeal to libs/assholes (as I did above) but even then they just....don't care.
Recently, a houseless woman's belongings were trashed during sweeps. With them were her daughters' ashes.
cw stats on abuse
I saw someone on reddit say about homeless people without social supports: "if you have absolutely no friends or family that's a YOU problem". How can. People be so fucking dense?
50+ percent of homeless people have been part of the foster care system
20 percent of foster youth who age out transition directly to homelessness
38 percent of homeless youth under the age of 18 experienced sexual abuse that contributed to their homelessness
90+ percent of homeless women have been sexually abused in their lifetimes
It's been proven that early childhood trauma impacts the likelihood of schizophrenia in adults
Yet when you shove all of the facts in their face, it's just another goalpost to move. Ugh
This is what peak male performance looks like
