open carry fanatics are going to cause so many accidental public panics and actual shootings. dudes running around with “good guy with a gun” fantasies are gonna end up killing each other and innocent bystanders.
six years ago a man entered a charlottesville kroger with a loaded AR15. it was (and remains) perfectly legal to do so. but imagine if that happened today, with mass shootings dominating the headlines and people living in fear. someone might’ve shot him.

and, of course, remember that open carry is effectively only allowed for white people. police shot and killed a black man holding an air rifle he intended to purchase inside a walmart in ohio in 2014

when you've been nothing but noncompliant for nearly two years, the judge has to make you call in to see if you've been a good boy at your deposition
if he hasn’t completed the discovery obligations outlined in a hearing last month, elliot “eli mosley” kline may face stiff sanctions

he finally deigned to call into one of the scheduled hearings last month (under threat of arrest by US marshals if he didn’t), but he’s not been very cooperative.

allowing cars to cross the pedestrian mall at 4th street was NOT RECOMMENDED BY STAFF OR THE PLANNING COMMISSION. adding cars to a pedestrian walkway was a bad idea forced on us by the downtown business association.
it’s time to close the crossings. it’s time to stop letting downtown businesses decide the landscape. a pedestrian mall is for pedestrians, not cars.
you’d think the fact that someone was murdered and dozens of lives were destroyed would have sparked a larger conversation about the vehicle crossings on charlottesville’s pedestrian mall, but it’s never been seriously discussed

please, please stop taking & sharing pictures and videos of traumatized children experiencing the state violence of family separation.
absolutely do not try to tell me we need to humanize them to change hearts and minds. the people who aren’t sure latinx children are fully human won’t have their minds changed by footage of a child crying because she was ripped out of her mother’s arms by the gestapo.
we wouldn’t have to “humanize” the people being treated this way if they hadn’t been so fully dehumanized by the rampant white supremacy in our political discourse. push back against their dehumanization at the source & stop reproducing tragedy porn.

Dear @DrJoeAbah ,

On 27th July 2017, I visited you at your office in BPSR and spent about 90 uninterrupted minutes with you. You shared a couple of things with me about public service and the cost of being a reform minded public office holder. /1
You shared how you’ve been bullied by the different arms of government you had to relate with in the course of carrying out your service to the nation.

You shared your challenges and your victories!/2
You shared how you declined being part of the government’s campaign entourage during the 2015 elections, even when the team was visiting your home state.

How you stood your ground when asked to defend a budget you never prepared to the NASS! And how you were penalized for it.

Good day to you all. The awaited controversial shipping thread is here. I have a lot to say so y'all better sit and read cuz I'm gonna say what's exactly on my mind about the topic at hand. If you're interested, look no further, and click to read on.+
Now, just to get this out of the way, my title is slightly clickbait-ish. It's not the actual ships I have a problem with. I enjoy seeing the dynamics between certain members and am open to discuss any of them. It's some of the SHIPPERS I have issues with.+
Ever since I walked my ass into this fandom, I was not exactly surprised to find what I did. Being an avid anime fan in my past life (read as 2 years ago), I was familiar with shipping EVERYWHERE. I was actually a pretty big shipper myself. MxF, MxM, FxF, I didn't really care.+

Going to do something I basically never do anymore because it triggers a feeding frenzy, but I don't have my mind made up about a major topic, this time: impeachment.

A friend in the business asked me yesterday if I would support it. And I'm unsure.
I am not a lawyer, and unlike most on Twitter dot com, I don't pretend to be either. I'm not sure if what we know comes to the level of impeachment, but here's my personal regular old American perspective.
I'm still playing catch up (making another fatal mistake, admitting I may not have all of the facts currently known), but it appears the only thing protecting the POTUS from an indictment is the fact that he's the POTUS.

Going to do a thread here with some background/history on the 17-year-old US military hunt for al-Qaida operatives in Afghanistan, the latest evolution of which I have a new story about (spoiler: US forces are now more focused on IS-K): politico.com/story/2018/08/…
Military says it has killed 65 AQ members in Afg this year. "We've been actively hunting AQ from the lowest rifleman up to their emir and everyone in between," Gen. Nicholson told me. But majority of CT strikes now are against IS-K.
Over the past 17 years, AQ, the group that brought the US to Afg, has always been a high priority for the CT folks, meaning the JSOC task force and the intel community (IC). But, just as it's not the priority today, it's often gotten pushed behind bigger Taliban fight.
