“Intentionally and systematically disrupting and dismantling the language, culture, and safety of any group is, by definition, a form of genocide.
The choice of anyone in a departing administration to launch a geopolitical incendiary as their term ends, without any communication or planning for the …”

“I am baffled by those who seem to think that our choice to join the accord’s effort to shift our emissions will somehow involve actual payments to European countries. Partnering with allies is a move toward a stronger world position, and the sooner we can build and adjust into new technologies and i…”

“Whatever can be done to ensure that there is *no question* as to the veracity of the charges, delaying the full Senate trial for an additional three months could perhaps allow time for more investigation of the full range of compounding issues at hand.
It could also afford President Biden the chan…”

“If it were clear that Trump were incapacitated, or incapable of what had initially been expected of him by his supporters, the 25th might be a reasonable call to make. Truth is, he’s never been capable of putting his job — our country — ahead of his own interests. He’s as capable as he’s ever been. …”

“It felt unfortunate and abrupt that *all* of the various legal abrogations Trump had engaged in were not included in the articles of impeachment a year ago, including obvious graft and emoluments violations. Now that violations of the Hatch act were made a centerpiece of his re-election campaign, an…”

“The reason that fifty-plus lawsuits brought by the Trump team over election results have been thrown out — or not even heard — has been the requirement that EVIDENCE be present. It pains me that conspiracy-driven conjecture is freely allowed on the Senate floor without a requirement of fact-finding …”

“The natural extension of the idea that citizens participating in a community-focused public service should “take their business elsewhere” if they’re unsatisfied somehow has several damaging effects on our equal protection and access within our public communities to our systems of providing public s…”

“This. Is. Ridiculous. ...and sad. The fact that a wholly fabricated (non) issue, devised by a single propagandistic media outlet for the sole purpose of sowing discontent, has actually reached the halls of Congress in the form of a bill, is surreal and obscene. I live in a city which many might c…”

“This law is a meager approximation of a freedom we very recently believed our own government might protect — writing into law a corporation’s ability to financially extort universities, schools, libraries, and public services for the ability to serve the public good. Make no mistake: this law makes …”

“If airfares and oil prices can fluctuate with supply and demand, so should the costs to an airline for deciding not to honor their contract for services. As in real estate, “any house will sell for the right price” — if nobody is willing to give up their seat for the compensation being offered by th…”

“What many seem not to understand, and the media has done a poor job of explaining, is that “sanctuary city” simply allows anyone who has info to share about a crime or ongoing criminal investigation to DO SO, without fear of having to show papers. It is not a “free pass” of any kind — just an acknow…”

“A lot of our knowledge and understanding of how certain products impact our health and environment is often due to research funded by the companies who produce those products — whether intending to use the info to promote their product, or with the intent to obfuscate and distract from negative info…”

“Let the ratification process continue without constriction — it would seem that the artificial deadline may very well have been put in place with the hopes of nullifying the amendment. At some point soon enough, the majority of Americans will recognize its very basic worth; it may be finally passed …”

“Those who argue that land lines can and should continue to be subsidized, but believe that repurposed flip phones for those without a reliable income - and who are less likely to have a safe, permanent residence as they seek work and health care - are some sort of luxury, they are clearly living in …”
