AirBud. "There's nothing in the rules that says a dog can't play basketball" has to be the total summation of liberal ideology.

because real estate agents simply won’t sell to them.

It's also because our state and local officials either A) completely misunderstand how to distribute Low-Income Housing Credits or B) Have a full understanding of the consequences of concentrating poverty within a central location via Low-Income Housing Credits, and do it anyway.

If you do not spread the LIHCs around your state / city within “High Opportunity” areas, you just compound the poverty. When you stack poor people on top of poor people under the guise of “Well this area is full of poor people so let's designate more LIHC there because they need them.” you just create a multiplicative effect on the areas' poverty. No one can afford to patronize the businesses in the area, and no one living in the area can afford to open a business. Which means no local employment for the poor, and no local commerce for the poor. They have to travel for work, travel for groceries, travel for everything. This means they're either buying a car and maintaining it, or attempting to rely on dilapidated public transportation.

What you get are dens of poverty that actually make it even harder to rise out of poverty, and total segregation of a population that ultimately skews black and brown. The real estate agents hardly need to expend any energy to be racist when the structures they work inside of area doing most of the heavy lifting for them.

She is more than welcome to file a case with the ICJ if she's distressed about the Uyghurs. One of these reporters speaking with the state department reps needs to ask that question directly. “Why haven't we filed an ICJ case on behalf of the Uyghurs?”

Real loony bin behavior.

Edit: Point of clarification, if you watch the video and listen closely with headphones, you can hear she is clearly saying “Go back to China where they are committing genocide… Go back to China where they are committing genocide”.

In some ways, even worse than what was reported.

Maybe I'll find it later but this reminds me of the reddit thread from last year where a GenZ kid made a post asking people how his desk phone worked, what all the buttons did, and so on.

No one told the poster how it worked at the time they were hired. They didn't want to admit to coworkers that they had no idea how it worked.

I think this extends way beyond just work though. People just don't know how anything works. They buy phones and have no idea how they work, cars, computers, everything is a black box to most people.

Colonial oppression never ends, it just quietly fades into the background.

Probably worth sharing the top comment from the lemmygrad thread:

The article was written by John Bechtel, who was chair of the CPUSA up until 2019.

Someone's got the list somewhere, right? The list of garbage from the Trump administration Biden hasn't done shit about?

• border wall
• title 42
• Cuba

I know the list probably longer, help me out.

cables are seen within the State Department as consequential statements of serious disagreement at key historical moments. The dissent channel was established amid deep internal conflict during the Vietnam War, and diplomats have since then used it to warn that the U.S. is making dangerous and self-defeating choices abroad.

More and more each day the echo's of the antiwar movement ring louder and louder. The bell tolls for you, Joe. You may have already been to late to answer its call. Your legacy will be apartheid.
