The US wasn’t a colony. It was 13 colonies that united.

I can stand up for what I believe in. Does that mean I should be written about in a major news outlet?

Regardless of whether you like it, it’s hard to deny that it’s becoming super popular

Weird, I was listening to them on Spotify a couple weeks ago.

No offense, but they aren’t exactly a big deal. Unless you’re super into the 90s/00s noise rock scene ig

Donald Trump transferred to Penn

Well no, the issue is the kids being exempt from reading them as part of a lesson or from being read to during story-time. They aren’t saying the books must be physically removed.

The main takeaways here are:

The justices, in a 6-3 vote along ideological lines, said that in most cases, judges can only grant relief to the parties who brought a particular lawsuit and may not extend those decisions to protect other individuals without going through the process of converting a suit into a class action.

The court did not rule on the legality of Trump’s order purporting to end birthright citizenship, although the three liberal justices said the president’s directive was clearly unlawful.

So, the plaintiffs will need to certify as a class in order for judges to issue nationwide injunctions now. That's a pretty huge shift.

There’s also 1 million more people than in 1989 and (I think?) a larger portion of NYCers are registered dems now. So that’s not actually that good. We should break turnout records every year if our population grows.

The problem is, unlike most people realize, astroturfing is rarely sourced from shill accounts like it used to be. Nor are high-karma accounts being purchased.

The issue is bots and shill accounts manipulate vote counts of posts/comments with certain positions. So, you don’t tell the difference, unless you find a way to track who is voting on Reddit content.

Why would the US arm people who hate us?

Wait, which time?
