His opponents argue about who did what in 1970's wars over forced busing.
When nobody emphasizes that forced busing was a poor and pitiful response to segregated neighborhoods created by racist real estate developers and landlords, he wins the debate.

Clearly @JoeBiden should've used the discussion of 1970's forced busing to rip @realDonaldTrump. Since MLK's march on Chicago it is common knowledge that racism in the real estate industry is at the root of northern segregation. That makes neighborhood schools segregated schools.
When MLK went to Chicago he didn't focus on busing the kids but on desesgrating the neighborhoods. He went after racist real estate developers, agents and landlords who kept African Americans in their "place."
Sadly he didn't live to confront people like the Trumps in Queens, NY.

Wrong answer.
Our embassy should be where other countries' embassies are, in Tel Aviv. Embassies are for diplomacy and we're not going to solve the Middle East conflict unilaterally. We accomplish nothing sitting in Jerusalem by our lonesome.

thehill.com/homenews/campa…
The last thing we need is more ill informed politicians such as @realDonaldTrump who use the Middle East conflict to score political points. We need to rejoin the world diplomatic community and consider how other countries approach the problem. Their embassies are in Tel Aviv.
There are 88 embassies in Israel.
86 embassies are located in Tel Aviv and the Gush Dan Metropolitan Area
2 embassies are located in Jerusalem.
If @amyklobuchar and @realDonaldTrump can't figure out where the U.S. embassy should be, neither one of them should be president.

Funny joke?
From the same guy who asked Putin to hack Hillary Clinton’s email in 2016.
Demand that the House stop acting like a bunch of scaredy-cats and impeach @realDonaldTrump NOW.
Or 2020 will be 2016 all over again.

All leading Democratic candidates have called for impeachment.
Regardless of who wins the nomination, Trump will humiliate his opponent by pointing to the fact that the House didn’t impeach.
Political as well as a constitutional disaster for Democrats if they don’t impeach.
Democratic Party know it alls say I am going too fast on impeachment. Yet every leading candidate for president is exactly where I am on impeachment while a neglectful House continues to stall.
Democrats who can’t come together and impeach Trump hand him four more years.

The Court’s opinion is clear that Congress under the Elections Clause has the power to address gerrymandering.
Every candidate for federal office must endorse a legislative fix. NOW.
This is probably the most important political issue for 2020.
cnn.it/2NkklSw
If @senatemajldr refuses to support Congressional legislation banning partisan gerrymandering by state political party bosses Kentucky will have to show him the door. Most voters of all political persuasions hate dirty tricks and hate corrupt party bosses.
Along with articles of impeachment against @realDonaldTrump an anti-gerrymandering bill should be the top priority for the U.S. House. If the bill dies in the Senate the senators go down on Election Day.
Voters are fed up!

#Eğitim ve #YKS19 hakkındaki tartışmalar devam ederken, #Fransa'da Napolyon'un emriyle 1808'den beri uygulanan "bac" sınavından söz etmekte fayda var.

Bu, her lise öğrencisinin mezuniyet için geçmek zorunda olduğu açık uçlu bir sınav.

Sorulara birkaç örnek vermek istiyorum:
• İnsanlık kendisi hakkında illüzyonlar yaratmaya mahkum mudur?

• Bilimsel bir hipotezi ispatlayabilir miyiz?

• Gerçeği aramak bizim görevimiz midir?

• Devlet olmadan daha özgür olur muyduk?

• Doğal arzular gerçek olabilir mi?

• Çalışmanın tek amacı faydalı olmak mı?
• Her inanç, mantığa ters olmak zorunda mıdır?

• Geçmişin tutsakları mıyız?

• Teknolojik gelişmeler özgürlüğümüzü tehdit eder mi?

• İmkansızı arzulamak absürt mü?

• Teknik gelişmeler insanları dönüştürür mü?

• Dil, düşünceye ihanet eder mi?

Thread on local #racist violence & what we do now:
Recently a white male school teacher abused an 11 year old black girl student, ripping out her braids. This occurred in #MadisonWI.

channel3000.com/news/madison-t…
I am out of town & unable to attend the community meeting about it today, but the anti-black violence & hatred in Madison is increasingly palpable to me, as someone who has lived there less than 2 years.
@AboutFreedomInc has been fighting to get cops out of schools for over a year now. Their youth squad attends every school board meeting to share stories & ask @MMSDschools to invest in youth of color & youth with disabilities not police.

⁉️WHAT⁉️

@GOP donor Steven Alembik, who gave >$20,000 to @RonDeSantisFL & lined up a speech for him at Mar-a-Lago, tweeted “F*** THE MUSLIM N—-” about Obama recently.🤬

He claims he wrote the tweet in anger, and he’s “absolutely not” a #racist.🙄

politi.co/2QKDydO
Lest you think that this #racist pile of steaming dung made only one PUBLIC slip of the tongue (or tweet), check out his shocking interview with the reporter, where he DOUBLED DOWN on his #racism‼️🤬
DeSantis recently said “monkey this up” about @AndrewGillum, yet denied he had any racial intent.🙄

This latest disgusting rant is the FIFTH #racist issue for DeSantis, his campaign or supporters in just a few months.🤬

VOTE #GillumForGovernor‼️

1. Had the misfortune of hearing a full-on, old-fashioned white Colonialist diatribe delivered on CKNW this morning by Bruce Allen on his not so "Reality Check" .

#racist #classist #Transmountain #cdnpoli #bcpoli #protecttheinlet
2. Bruce delivered all the typical supremacist big business standard lines of comradery. Bruce was speaking about the Kinder Morgan protest on Burnaby Mtn & to his audience to keep them focused on the 'right talking points'.
3. Bruce spoke about the water & land protectors in the most dehumanizing terms he’s allowed to on morning radio. He called First Nations peoples DTES homeless derelicts “unaware of what they’re protesting anyway”, merely looking for a place to squat.

Over time, I’m open to it. But right now, it’s a farfetched grandiose idea.

Bitcoin is largely the only real and/or practical application right now. Everything else is snakeoil to me. And I’ll explain.
The thing about asset ownership such as real estate for example is that it exists exclusively in the physical world and adheres to the physical world’s laws and security principles.

Let’s say you have a tokenized deed on some decentralized ledger, then what?
Who is going to honor this deed? Surely someone needs to provide the *physical security* framework to honor and reflect the tokenized deed, ie. the state.

If you are dependent on a centralized body for security, then it’s a pointless venture to “decentralize” record keeping.
