Anyone else see the back of the chair as the person’s hair in the first two panels?

It does matter, even if you don’t view it as significant in the broader context. Even from the perspective of starting a communist revolution, the more fascist and conservative the government, the more brutal the suppression.

My personal position is not for one system of government over the other as much as it is for better outcomes for society. I have enough trans friends and relatives that I want as few conservative reactionaries in power as possible.

Since it seems unlikely for capitalism to be toppled before the republican party crumbles, I still think it’s worth working towards, especially when it just takes a single piece of paperwork every couple years to help.

It seems to me like the two versions aren’t mutually exclusive. A better voting system that allows for more parties would undoubtedly lead to more parties winning votes, but such a reform would also run against the interests of the ruling class.

I mean, there’s many nations with more than two parties, including progressive parties, but I don’t see a reason why that’s more in line with the ruling class there than here.

It’s not so much about blame to my mind than it is about the way systems feed into each other.

However you slice it, whatever prior conditions you see as most important, replacing the republican party with one left of democrats would be a huge improvement.

Frankly I’m not sure what the leadership would look like. It would start as the progressive caucus, but it would naturally evolve from there based on the voters.

I think the reason many current ‘progressive’ leaders abandon progressive policies has more to do with our current political paradigm than personal flaws of the leaders.

If there were a progressive party with a progressive base it would make progressive policies key to getting votes.

Democrats should be the right wing party, and the other party should be Progressives. Republicans have proven themselves incapable of governing.

What’s your area of expertise? In my experience software jobs that pay a livable wage are pretty common, it’s finding one that isn’t miserable work for a terrible company that’s the tricky part.

Ah, that makes sense. I just knew it was unavailable. Apparently .lan is fine to use, I think I’ll try that next time.

I don’t get why ‘.local’ isn’t a top level domain for LAN hosts.

We can probably infer by the licensing that he’s cool with it.

Except Biden put out a statement opposing this legislation:

The Administration strongly opposes H.R. 8282, the “Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act.” H.R. 8282 would impose mandatory sanctions and visa restrictions on any foreign person determined to aid, materially assist, or provide financial support for efforts by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to undertake certain investigations and prosecutions, among others. This legislation could require sanctions against court staff, judges, witnesses, and U.S. allies and partners who provide even limited, targeted support to the court in a range of aspects of its work.

The Administration is deeply concerned about the ICC Prosecutor’s heedless rush to apply for arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials. At the same time, the Administration opposes the imposition of sanctions against the ICC, its personnel, its judges, or those who assist its work. There are more effective ways to defend Israel, preserve U.S. positions on the ICC, and promote international justice and accountability, and the Administration stands ready to work with the Congress on those options.

Just because he said something else critical of the ICC doesn’t mean he supports the house sanctions.

Why is the flag backwards?

What’s Bus Theory?

Does he have the authority to stop congressionally approved aid? I thought Trump got impeached for that.

The Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden are both international waters.

If you think about it, a deli worker is sort of like a meat & cheese barista.

I’ve heard this from a lot of people but I don’t get it. Isn’t money just a way of facilitating transactions?

Like I understand not wanting money for individuals, and I support that, but what’s wrong with using money for international trade?

Like do only people who live in climates with coffee beans get coffee? Or are the coffee growers just left uncompensated? Or do we come up with some other non-currency way to reward their efforts?
