@nedprice.bsky.social: 'When you think about this collection of people, the VP, CIA Director, Sec of State, there is no higher set of intel targets than the individuals who were in this Signal chat room. So you can imagine if an intel service stumbled upon this, they would consider it a gold mine.'
Tune into “Connections & Conversations” an #AdvocacyArena Podcast Series.

I don't think accountability is something to concern ourselves with for the foreseeable future, unfortunately.
I'm just glad you were there.
One of the first things Obama tried to do as president was close Gitmo. Bipartisan opposition from Congress stopped that effort. Now a new generation will have their rights violated by being shipped there.
Nice clip from one of my recent conversations on race. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iv5...

There are billions of dollars being poured into people & institutions supporting white supremacy. If we want a sliver of a chance at fighting back, we need to invest in productive antiracism initiatives w/ our dollars, something even the most kind hearted Americans are loathe to do. This must change

Nothing to see here… this aspect of history is being whitewashed to provide comfort for fragile whyte supremacists evangelicals

I can't see the connection between my questions and your replies. I didn't say anything about you being a Leftist or Trumper. I did say anything about the past being good or bad. I didn't say I don't have a job. Most people do. You seem to have plenty of time.
What about the answers to my questions?
What does things being in control look like to you, and when was that the case in US history since you mentioned that nowadays is different?
I didn't reply because the vastness and quality of the number of implications one can reasonably draw from the fact that you publicly typed this reply was a bit overwhelming. Some questions. Who or what is the shepherd of humanity? Your opinion is that humans in China represent a controlled herd?
...ok
Do I think a country filled with people who regularly send their kids to schools where there's a greater than negligible probability that they will be involved in a shooting and who elect a convicted felon and adjudicated sexual assaulter is a healthy or meritocratic country? No. No I do not.
I don't know what you think greater "efficiency" looks like or is meant to accomplish. If you're not interested in democracy, I'm not sure what kind of society you want, and I think whatever you're imagining it would be like is exactly that - imaginary.
Neither would a civics test requirement.
I don't think I said anything contrary to that, did I?
I have no clue what side u think u're on or what sides there are in ur mind, so I can't admit to anything if I don't know what u're talking about. If you want to lay out sides and get my opinion, I'm happy to respond. But you haven't done that, so I am not sure where ur getting a lack of admittance.
Yes, you seem quite unbothered. I love that for you. Enjoy your white penis and money.
I guess your likes aren't showing up. This isn't a job interview, so I didn't need your qualifications like that, but thanks for sharing.
Yes, I am. It's again, completely irrelevant to what I was writing, but I am against that, yes.
