Cogency

I hope it’s more due to the fact that he had a stroke rather than he’s doing it intentionally. Either way he has had a complete shift in personality and its disappointing to no end that he’s not who he was when elected.

I’m not worried about Biden’s age mostly because I think this comes from the racist fear that Kamala Harris isn’t capable of running this country.

They died because they were trans. They died just for existing and because they were different and people are afraid of that difference. I don’t care what the exact biological mechanism was that killed them. I care that they died as a result of a beating (or because of the emotional trauma of that beating). That should never happen in America for anyone be they black, a woman, or an innocent gender nonconforming child like this.

We are headed to a dark place in American history if we don’t fight for trans people and every minority right now.

Mandatory employee stakeholder status for every company, so that each company is 50% employee owned, it works in Europe.

Pedophilia is literally excusable for Republicans if it has that magical R next to the name (Roy Moore anyone?) But as soon as it’s two consenting black people having a consensual affair, with no obvious reason to believe involves any conflict of interest, somehow that requires an investigation?

This is more racist misogynistic (double standards that powerful women can’t enjoy sex) “rules for thee but not for me” BS.

I can’t believe the new york times is still groaning about the environmental impacts of solar and wind, when the much much worse coal and gas alternative is directly destroying the entire world’s environment/ habitability. But sure let’s waste time arguing about how solar might provide an impediment to grazing animals that will all otherwise definitely go EXTINCT if we continue to use fossil fuels.

She could be getting legitimate death threats from Republicans not happy about her politics, which if it’s being published as a form of stochastic terrorism, there has been a legal limit on that as free speech.

If they make protest illegal, the protest becomes revolution.

Pretty sure I could make a grant program for kilt wearers and it’d get less backlash than this. The fact that black women can’t try to help elevate eachother is ridiculous.

I’m not the one with the burden of proof to prove that it is painless.

Read about the fact that the scientific community can not study the death penalty from within most death penalty states to actually provide anything more than individual testimonials. The scientific community does not support the conclusion that hypoxia is in any way painless. https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/

Except the more you resist it, the more you suffer. If you hold your breath there is not enough time to displace the gas contents of you lungs and bloodstream. Your body will be full of the toxic and suffocating co2 gas and you will drown for 22 minutes like the guy executed clearly did.

They have had a long history of misadministering the lethal injection method, making that “painless death” inconceivably painful. It’s why the medical community refuses to be a part of producing or helping the death penalty machine perform lethal injections anymore.

It’s also why a mechanical “painless death” is being so propagandized now. Those supporting executions will find a way to make criminals suffer with any death penalty. The cruelty is the point, which is unconstitutional.

The fact that you don’t understand displacement of lung (and bloodstream) gas content tells me you don’t have enough of a medical background to understand wtf you are talking about.

I am applauding the act of resistence, I don’t think the fact that garnishing wages is a consequence should dissuade those from trying to take a part in resisting. It doesn’t make the debt culture we saddle our children with, for a chance at survival, any less immoral. Any resistence in such a culture is therefore a moral obligation.

What they were saying is, is that’s not enough time for the nitrogen to displace the co2 in their lungs for the peaceful part to happen. It’s not hypoxia that they die from its the suffocation.

As far as I know indentured servitude is illegal in this country already, I’m pretty sure that’s reason enough not to pay.

They are conscientious objectors in that sense and I’m cheering them on.

A pulmonologist in another thread said that was based on bad science. That the body can’t hit hypoxia fast enough to not trigger the suffocation response, because they are holding their breathe up to that point. That’s kind of a big deal if true.

Wtf are you on about now? I’m just trying to help you understand something. Seems like you have an agenda.

That’s why it was largely performative, to avoid the label of terrorism, but yes. A revolutionary threat might also be a label one could use, depending on how you want to look at it.
