Migrant, I miss reading from my favorite posters.
I don’t post much, love to learn and tend to engage respectfully, to the point of being annoying.
In a word, boring.

I’m not saying Trump will definitely lose, or even that he’s likely to, only that everything making a Trump win possible was already there 24 hours ago

Supplemental Song For The Day: Freedom - Richie Havens youtube.com/watch?v=rynx...

Richie Havens - Freedom at Woodstock 1969 (HD)youtube.com Rest In Peace Richard Pierce "Richie" Havens.. ☮ (January 21, 1941 - April 22, 2013) More than 3 months ago I decided to take a look into the woodstock history and music. I was interested in peace, freedom and the hippie scene. Then I found this excellent, unique live performance by Richie Havens. At first I thought that he is just a very talented guitar player, but when he began to sing, my whole world stopped. His amazing own voice kinda petrified me. After that I imagined that he just sat there more than 42 years ago in front of more than 400 thousand people and sang into the microphone "YEAH ! FREEDOM ! FREEDOM !" and that was the moment which changed my life. Then I watched other videos where he sang freedom at woodstock and i realized that there is no real version of it. All versions are sort of pitched up (that means his voice is a bit higher than normaly) I downloaded one video, made it HD and made his voice deeper, so now in this video you will hear the real voice version and video of him. By the way, today was richie's 71st birthday. So I wish one of the greatest men alive HAPPY BIRTHDAY and all the best. I do not own the copyright for this recording. I just improved the audio and video quality, so if it needs to be removed, I will remove it. Recently (15th of August 2016) the official Woodstock Facebook page posted my video on their site, so I don't think there will be any problems in removing this video at all. If you enjoy the spirit and music of the late 60's and early 70's make sure to check out my latest band Sunhaze Reflection: https://sunhazereflection.bandcamp.com/album/sunhaze-reflection

The present situation in Sudan is terrible, and there is a real risk of famine on a massive scale: “We’ve seen mortality projections estimating that in excess of 2.5 million people, about 15% of the population in Darfur and Kordofan – the hardest hit regions – could die by the end of September,”

On a hike in the Badlands, a family found a dinosaur bone sticking out of a rock. Eventually, they learned it was a teenage T. rex. 12-year-old Jessin Fisher and Dr. Tyler Lyson join us to discuss this dino discovery and what it means for science.

How the hell do you “not look at COVID from a public health perspective”? If you can keep the mass death away from the forefront of your mind in that situation, you might be a Nazi www.reuters.com/investigates...

Remember when we banned TikTok because our autocratic adversaries might use propaganda to try and undermine faith in institutions and erode trust in the very idea of objective truth - using covert, subversive tactics on social media?

Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to incite fear of China vaccineswww.reuters.com The covert effort began under Trump and continued into Biden’s presidency, Reuters found. Health experts say it endangered lives for possible geopolitical gain.

June 12 is Loving Day. It is the anniversary of when SCOTUS decided Loving v. Virginia on June 12, 1967.

On January 6, 1959 Mildred & Richard Loving were convicted of "cohabiting as man and wife, against the peace and dignity of the Commonwealth" (miscegenation) and forced to leave the state of Virginia instead of spending a year in prison. Eventually Loving v. Virginia legalized interracial marriage.

There's no "but it's haaaard" exemption to the laws of war. They're flexible enough to provide pathways for dealing with those difficulties. But you have to follow the law

It's also good for Israel, because a border dispute between two countries is a way better situation for them than a stateless people, and it drives me crazy that they don't see that

“…treaties can't end grudges, can't solve family feuds. Civil Wars do one thing well: they break things. They break empires yes, but they also break families - leaving wives, mothers, and children nothing but mourning for lost loved ones.” Thanks to @lollardfish.bsky.social & @profgabriele.com

so much of the pronoun bullshit is just people being angry at being asked to treat others with a basic level of respect you don't have to understand gender dysphoria or being nonbinary or neopronouns to just... respect people's wishes about how they want to be addressed

If your position is "I want a dictator who sides with me", remember that so does everyone else who wants a dictator.

Seriously, how could A Total Ban on All Muslims Guy Who Has A Israeli Settler Community Named For Him not be a swell thing for Palestinians?

The need to “sharpen contradictions” for whatever final clash of good versus evil people have in their mind works like a tractor beam to derail any rational discussion.

Hey guys. I think this should be spread widely. They are telling us what will happen if they win. They are not being coy, either. Make sure people know.

I follow so many lawyers that thought this referred to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.. I couldn’t have been more wrong! 😅

Fifth Circuit, baby!

I wonder if #joblessness has been more disruptive than usual for white collar or highly trained blue collar jobs. If so, that would account for the discrepancy between “the numbers” and the complaints. Webber’s status inconsistency can add to democracies woes. #EconSky #polisky

Fishuelas beat any sufgania I’ve ever eaten. Specially if they are dusted with confection sugar and cinnamon instead of drenched in syrup.

If you're going to make the mistake of having the government able to make content based restrictions on political activity, at least use it to restrict activity that is objectively likely to lead to bloodshed!
