Eh, almost every state has some key business headquartered or infrastructure deeply invested in it. Oregon has Intel, Nike, and several others I’m forgetting. The Bonneville power administration also supplies a significant portion of power to Seattle and California. Oregon may not be as significant, but it’s critical to California’s ability to be such.
That statistic makes sense when considering less of the liberal and/or left turned out while the right held their numbers. Guess the right is more effective at getting their youth to participate in the system while the left in this age range are more disenfranchised every generation.
Yeah but we can see from liberalism that a “show of support” means jack shit. The ballot is a tool to quell the masses against revolt. Participation there doesn’t mean you accept it as the whole of your political voice.
The volunteer work is a bullshit aspect. It certainly means the majority of electoral workers are those with the ability to volunteer. Hence, lead poisoned boomers.
Absolutely! There’s lots centered around the unhoused. There are also other orgs like Mutual Aid Disaster Relief (MADR) and some focused on immigration along the southern border.
But there’s all kinds, they’re all over, just not always easy to find.
Voted as an attempt at harm reduction. But i had mail-in so it took me 2 minutes.
Believe in them or not, they’re not for change. You’re right insofar as popular direct action creates tangible change in the world.
Find and join a mutual aid organization. Food not bombs is a good entry point for research if not participation.
Support for Palestine is not support for a terrorist organization. But a law such as this could be used on a pro-Palestinian organizer on the false claim that support for Palestine is support for hamas.
Also, deported where exactly?
Especially if they immigrated from a western democracy. They need to go back to their hive of evil and treachery. Pesky democracy havers.
Even then it’s safer than playing with rocks it seems.
It’s hell. But at least you can dial boot the damn thing.
Bad dragon. Be clear.
“Rider”* whether thon ride dragons or “rider” is thon’s nickname is unclear.
This isn’t about changing the Iranian government or taking nukes away. Neither will happen even in full out war. Just going to be a lot of suffering and dead people. Many if which couldn’t care less about state affairs. When USA inevitably gets sucked into boots on the ground we’ll have another generation of youth either dead or returning with broken bodies achieving yet another Pyrrhic victory for the US. Yet another generations Vietnam.

AGs choose which laws to enforce or not. That’s generally their job. They choose how to distribute resources available by selecting which cases to pursue.
It’s common for them to not pursue cases. It’s more common for them to pass up on pursuing a case against someone with wealth. In that case it’s more likely they’ll waste resources on someone who can lawyer up, draw the process out, and often get the case thrown out.
Possession cases are easy and seen as being hard on crime which is politically motivated as it gets you reelected by conservatives and liberals alike.
They have that power and use it frequently to disservice the poors/eccentrics while ignoring the transgressions of the wealthy.
There’s also the west coast. The damming of the Columbia, while a natural disaster, made the region viable for manufacture and ship building. In some ways it lead to the possibility for the tech industry as well for better or worse.
Yeah that’s fair. But the works and practice in mobilizing the workforce in the new deal played a big part in the US having industrial capability prior to WWII. Not mentioning other logistics, the power grid improvement alone may have made the difference in the war effort even being possible for the US. After the war private industry continued to benefit from cheap energy coming from those same projects. Hell if there’s a miuntain range in your state you’re almost certainly getting some of your power from a hydro plant made in the 30’s.
And nothing to do with those pesky socialist reforms of the new deal. No this social reforms ruined everything! Must kill for equity!
Build community. Volunteer at local organizations such as food bank or mutual aid, or just get your friends together and do something weird like a free public picnic in the park. It’s a lot of fun, you meet lots of cool people. And you make a community more able to resist and protect.
Also stock up on several weeks of food and goods. You’ll want to share when disaster happens.
