The NIH has a like $25B budget and sent $600k to the Wuhan lab. I don't see that as a problem, I'm sure that facility wouldn't continued the research.

He testified that he wasn't involved in the grant and that he didn't believe it was going on.

You have the right to a jury trial. The whole "negative rights" thing is just a smoke screen. It's not "constructive". It's carrying water for people that are intentionally muddying the water. Our rights are what we say they are.
@SiaKordestani
It's a protest tactic. They chanted similar slogans at other businesses along their route. Silence is complicity.
If you've seen the videos of Gazans starving and you're concerned about a chant at a hospital I think you need to do some soul searching.

The grant strictly stated the money couldn't be used for GoF and while the research summaries detail what some scientists say is GoF some disagree. It's very hard to pin that on a hit who has nothing to do with the grant:
@GigaBasedDad
More conservatives just making up reality and then getting mad at the reality they made up. No one thinks steak and eggs for breakfast is weird. It's a staple on the menu of almost every single breakfast restaurant.
@BenBurgis
I don't see how you see it this way. The two big stories from Anna was HER getting upset that hospitals might use the term birthing person and HER getting upset a UK non profit might use the term "bonus hole". Where do these concerns intersect with M4A?
@LPNH
Two key differences:
1) the left isn't making memes comparing wages to chattel slavery
2) taxes are a function of a democratic process we all participate in. Capitalism is a system of arbitrary ownership established long before any of us were born.

At this point the whole "you can't tell jokes anymore" shtick is played out and incredibly safe. Chappelle and Burr and Rogan are the most highly compensated comedians and they've done it playing like they're somehow being silenced. I'd like to be silenced with 3 Netflix specials
@RBehiel
@hankgreen
All language is "wordplay". I think it's naive or paternalistic to think there's some truly objective way to discuss policy. You're playing the game with a hand tied behind your back and i promise the people who use terms like "free markets" aren't.
@RBehiel
@hankgreen
The rhetoric we use empowers solutions. There are actors that aren't well intentioned here. Anyone out there convincing people the Constitution is somehow just about negative rights for example. When you frame something as a right it takes on a political salience.

What is the better alternative? AOC tried to play hard ball when she first got elected and she lost committee seats. She's been more effective as a friendly outsider.
The reality is the progressive wing is still very weak and that has to be accounted for.

It's not. 4,000 kids started puberty blockers in 2021. That's approximately the same as the amount of kids diagnosed with leukemia. The contagion narrative is fictional.

A problem like this can't be fixed by individual actors. I can't remember the person but I was listening to a scientist talk about how individualizing the problem is actually fossil fuel lobby propaganda.

It's not just like weed, but it's definitely not like heroin or meth either. I know dozens of people, myself included, who've used cocaine recreationally for years and never had any serious problems. I don't know anyone who's done a lot of heroin or meth and just stopped.
@BrowningMachine
Turns out lots of people with good ideas aren't great people. I don't think when people claim to me Marxist they're claims they really liked Karl Marx and would've definitely been friends with him.
@brutal_regime
I'm not a huge fan of the ACA but there were aspects that were undeniably positive, Medicaid expansion, preexisting conditions, etc..
The various pandemic bills had good things in them. The IRA has good stuff in it. It's easy.
@RBehiel
@hankgreen
My guess is you're being more paternalistic than naive. You think there's some way to objectively discuss these things that you have special insight into. Language effects the way we think about ideas. It's ALL arbitrary. All calling something a right does is add emphasis.
@SiaKordestani
Yes. If you've seen the videos of people starving and your concern over people protesting that starvation is that some people with cancer will have to deal with some noise for a few minutes you're a bad person.
@sltrib
Cox was trying to pull a Mitt Romney for a while but now he's notice which direction the wind is blowing. Mitt was old enough to retire. Spencer needs to find his way in a Republican Party whose voters are animated primarily by racism and transphobia.

People go to such insane lengths not to support public services. It will cost more to means test, track the debt, and then try to collect later. We're already paying for the education, why not add a couple bucks a day for lunch?

A bad political calculation is not the same as actively breaking the administrative state. A Dem administration is not going to put Trump loyalists in key administrative positions.

If you ever do it's a pretty dramatic difference. I think we see more people who use cocaine because you can use cocaine recreationally and maintain a normal life. Not so with heroin and meth. You fall out of normal life pretty quickly one you start using heroin seriously.

Your article actually links to mine as the primary source. The first link in the DW article links to the Reuters article i sent you. How many additional do you think are being undercounted? Even if the number doubled that's 10k. There's 26M kids between 12 and 17. That's 0.04%

@jeremykauffman
But why did you specifically suggest Africa for Nina Turner? My ancestors immigrated here in the early 1900s. I don't know Nina's family history but there's a good chance her ancestors have been here longer than mine. That's why people rightfully call you racist.
@PuppyModr

@strike_dr
Yes. Republicans don't get to appoint administrative positions if the Dems have the executive so I'm not sure what you're suggesting there. And no, Dems didn't "straight up let" Republicans take the Supreme Court. They made a series of very stupid political calculations.

Have you addressed Ana's coverage? I'd be interested to read your opinion. I get, and probably agree, that identity politics can hurt necessary coalition building. But that wasn't really what Ana was critiquing when she got publicly upset about the term "birthing person".

Social Security is one of our most successful programs. It keeps nearly 1/3 of our elderly out of poverty and for another 1/3 of allows a much more comfortable retirement.
@Ezra4Liberty
It's weird to me the way libertarians insist on their economic prowess while supporting economic ideas that are almost universally rejected by practicing economists. It's like a creationist touting their knowledge of evolution.
@rebeccarightnow
My dad didn't have a college degree. Worked for a food distributor and worked his way to upper management. This basically describes my childhood. Millennials have half the net worth. Higher prices and less money because our parents squandered their benefits.

This is such a weird genre of right wing propaganda. Yes, other cultures have also been brutal. I don't think anyone should be colonized. How about that?

It's not just socialists. It's literally everyone except a small number of libertarians.
And this isn't property. This is territory and I hate to break it to you, wolves don't get their territory through voluntary exchange.

What he did was actual grooming. Targeting a vulnerable 16 year old and coaching her to be abused. You guys are so obsessed with trans people reading books and when actual grooming happens from one of your own you're like, "eh, it happens".

This is a perfectly reasonable response. Trans people exist. Misgendering them violates rules. Teaching them about transgender people is the correct course of action.
