One of my favorite characters in anime.

What's a good oat milk? We thought my daughter had food allergies, so we tried all kinds of different brands and plant bases. They all tasted like incredibly lightly flavored water.

The propaganda for milk (that's still going) certainly had a big role to play.

I'm fairly certain that Democrats didn't hold all branches of government with a majority in both houses for a full eight years.

That's not really implementing..... You left out every bit of context.

  • They waited and said no, we won't confirm Garland and then got the majority and pushed through a justice during an election.

  • They're ignoring laws and passing their own book bans that their now regressive Supreme Court is cool with.

  • And the end of Roe v Wade was accomplished at least in part but that same saying no and waiting.

The whole thing? Has the whole thing been looked at and revised? Or are you counting each and every amendment as an "update"? That's not an update to me. It's an addition that ignored the many flaws with the way we run our country.

And? What's your point? We've had several presidents in the last, what 30-40 years, who lost the popular vote but got to be president anyway because we decided some states matter more than others.

How can you truly fight for the working class when you lived a life of extreme privilege?

That's ridiculous. Can someone not fight for LGBTQ rights of they aren't part of the community? For POC rights if they aren't POC? For women's rights if they aren't a woman?

"And fellow New York Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, a Republican, said on X that she’ll introduce a resolution to expel Bowman from the House over the incident. "This is the United States Congress, not a New York City high school. This action warrants expulsion & I’m introducing a resolution to do just that," she wrote."

Hold up. So pulling a fire alarm is worthy of being kicked out of Congress, but repeatedly showing porn to Congress is fine. Huh...

Since when does ban have a strict definition to mean not allowing the publish and/or sale of books nationwide? If I ban something from my house, am I required to use a different word?

Well, then why are they taking out the context of Rosa Parks sitting on the bus? Isn't that still American history? Some people feel the need to classify Black history because history concerning black people is white washed and ignored.

Your comment comes off like someone saying "all lives matter".

They are absolutely being banned. Universal bans and not allowing things to be published or sold at all is not the sole definition of banning things. That's not the only way to define banning. It can be small, local, regional, or unilateral. There are many different places or ways a ban can take effect. The books are being banned from schools and libraries in some cases.

If I ban something from my house, it's still a ban. If it's banned from the neighborhood, that's a ban. If it's banned from only my kid's school, that's a ban.

I don't get why some people think a national ban against the publish and sale of books is the only definition of a ban.
