“This is the Democratic Party. This is not a rubber-stamp party,” Pelosi told The Washington Post.
“I grew up Nancy D’Alesandro, in Baltimore Maryland; in Little Italy; in a very devout Catholic family; fiercely patriotic; proud of our town and heritage, and staunchly Democratic," she continued. "Most of those people — my family, extended family — are not pro-choice. You think I’m kicking them out of the Democratic Party?”
Pelosi argued that abortion is a "fading issue" within the party and said it should not impose ideological tests on its candidates.
“In our caucus, one thing unifies us: our values about working families,” she told the Post. “Some people are more or less enthusiastic about this issue or that issue or that issue. They’ll go along with the program, but their enthusiasm is about America’s working families.”

2: Arizona has opened the doors wide open for charter schools to jump in and provide education. Charter schools are literally EVERYWHERE now, and they're gutting public school enrollment in the process. Worse yet, many of those charters are deliberately manipulating the enrollment process to ensure they do not have to educate poor and underprivileged students.
How does a "public" school do this? Let me give you an example. Many charter schools do not offer bus service. This means parents are required to drive their children to school in order to go to these charter schools. I sat in a meeting at one of these charter schools where the powers-that-be within the school were concerned that "bad" students and english language learning students (read: hispanic students) might still come to the school because they could bicycle or walk to school.
The solution? The school set up a policy where students cannot walk or cycle to school, and they removed all bicycle parking. They did it under the claim that they were interested in student safety, and that riding or walking to school was un-safe. If you can't drive your child to the school (because you're working or otherwise occupied), your child can't go to that school.
It had the intended effect. In a city filled with diversity, this school is incredibly monochromatic.
I was appalled, but the leadership at the school cheered and celebrated this decision.

The photos come from his personal resolution for 2017, which he announced in January as a mission to visit and meet people in every U.S. state by the end of the year.
In Hawaii he should meet the people he's forcing off their land to build his mansion and private beach. Without security guards.

i was reading back through this thread and i'm still floored by how this post combines untruth and passive aggressiveness and it's from the one poster on this forum that i'm absolutely sure should know better

the two funniest things about this are 1) how if you squint you can almost imagine that Trump's offering up some profound statement about no one watching the watchers 2) how no amount of squinting would convince even the guy saying it that Bush "said" that aphorism instead of hearing it from some version of his Dad. tonight's posts have been brought to you by pre gaming Cinco de mayo good night and God bless.
never mind surviving the industrial destruction of your own planet, or nuclear proliferation, how do intelligent species survive the consequences of a bourgeoisie (grand and petit) completely removed from the existence of the proletariat via technology and disinterest
or maybe they've always been like this and we just get to see now, and they don't know enough to realize the more we see the more we want to fuck it/them up
some people have written here about how revolutions don't happen until even the upper middle classes are getting fucked over (and realize it & join in the class consciousness whether falsely or not). seems like it's becoming possible
anyone want some juice

nice take
le_nelson_mandela_face posted:it's symptomatic of how dumb religion is that i can be linked to what is described as a TAKEDOWN of God is Not Great by hitchens - a warmongering neocon who died of chainsmoking and whom anyone relatively sapient could own without trying - and the best they can muster is the same old "he doesn't know anything about theology" and "it's easy for hitchens to say religion is dumb when he hasn't read any uhh i dunno Fraig Brembus"
it's kind of like trump's ascension when i think about it because i watched some of those debates hitchens had back when they were novel and they threw their best at him and he viciously ripped every one of them apart and "their best" wasn't some hillbilly, it was "hi i'm the archdeacon of london and i have three doctorates in theology, and magic is real because i believe it in my heart". just an impressive resume wrapped around itself in an empty cylinder waiting for a puppy to get ahold of it. one of the first UFC guys who thought a black belt in mall karate would trump tackling someone and punching him in the head. you want to own hitchens you just say "you hate muslims because they are trying to impose their beliefs on you via democracy so you tried to impose your beliefs on them via violence except it didn't even work and now as a direct result there are more of them coming here than ever and also you are literally dying painfully thanks to your own irrationality"
