@Idissent At least you're consistent.
@Idissent Let me try this differently: imagine how you'd react if Donald Trump had said the same thing.
@Idissent I would welcome a further explanation.
@Idissent That's meant to be "legislation / regulation", my apologies for the formatting error.

Vice President Kamala Harris blasted Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday for “playing political games,” after the Florida governor reportedly did not take her phone calls to discuss hurricane relief.
“Playing political games at this moment in these crisis situations — these are the height of emergency situations — is just utterly irresponsible and it is selfish and it is about political gamesmanship,” Harris told reporters before departing to New York.

. . . and just in case there was any lingering doubt about why the Israeli government is invading #Gaza and #Lebanon.

@Idissent Yes it is when you understand the function of the legislation regulation in question.

@Idissent unfortunately it's historical reality both in the US and elsewhere.
@Idissent Colonialism begins at home.
#Appalachia is the #thirdworld of the #unitedstates. We exploit and export its culture, vilify and marginalize its people, and keep it poor by extracting its #naturalresources at the expense of its residents and its #environment
I'd like to think that #HurricaneHelene would prompt us as a nation to take a long hard look at ourselves, but I know it won't.

Guns don't kill people. Books can't make you gay. Drag queens are not contagious nor are they dangerous to children. Follow me for more real-life tips.
This is the kind of #information manipulation and #disinformation that keeps me up at night.
#California is not a #progressive state. It does however remain a vision of the future.

#hurricanehelene is about to do some horrible things to #Florida and points further inland. Please stay informed and stay safe!
Hey #CoSoNauts: how are you all today? Check in and let me know what's going on in your world.
Secondly: if any of you are running a #homelab or #homenetwork, let me know. I'd like to pick your brain about it.
@Madken65 Absolutely not--nor does Harris's "tough on crime" approach seem necessary right now. We need better options all around.
