Twelve weeks. That’s twelve weeks more than Americans get.

Paid is the important additional criteria in your statement. Fmla keeps your insurance running and guarantees 12 weeks off work unpaid for maternity leave(for people working more than the pittance that is 1250 hours a year) — something many Americans cannot afford.

Genuinely the worst protest idea I’ve ever seen. Impressive.

… I’m sorry. Do you think that “burn it all down” ends with a vote?

They should be required to hold townhalls or resign. It’s ridiculous that they can get away with never interacting with their constituents.

You explicitly cannot be a VP if you’re ineligible for presidential office.

Speakership though…

It should be very clearly stated that that is DIRECTLY contradictory to the Constitution still. You cannot be VP if you are ineligible to run for the office.

Piracy

Well it didn’t work. l

I mean, people hating America has no bearing on that. We were the leader of the world for a long stretch after world war 2, indisputably.

That the American media can only report on the exposure of the systematic mass murder of half the country’s native residents as a risk to the United States illustrates the deep rot within the American psyche.

No one said that. This isn’t about reporting, this is about information leaks.

If genocide is limited to mass killing by direct violence, some might argue that the term cannot apply to Yemen. Relative to the generally recognized cases of genocide (Armenia, Jewish Holocaust, Rwanda, etc.), a “substantial” number of Yemenis have not been killed by direct violence. However, between ten and twenty thousand people have been killed by direct violence and many tens of thousands more have been killed by deteriorating public health conditions directly related to the Saudi-led coalition’s bombing attacks and naval blockade. Additionally, Yemen’s rich cultural heritage has been deliberately bombed by the coalition. The direct and indirect physical attacks, public health emergencies, and cultural destruction together amount to a synchronized attack on life in Yemen.

It is not a Holocaust type event. An issue and a travesty, yes. But they are fighting literal terrorists as part of it. It’s not exactly the pure black and white the Holocaust was, and I think your own source backs my statement.

I do agree it is horrifying. But I would argue that the saudis are the primary perpetrators, not the states. Unfortunately the actual meat of the article is hidden behind a paywall.

You’re diminishing the term Holocaust by using it for something only remotely comparable.

This specific incident, no. But the point is that if it happens for other issues more important domestically, it would be a national security risk.

I hate talking to them. Because they outright don’t think green card people should have rights

I feel like those 2 actually would have a fairly large overlap

Also their boxes fall apart in shipping and fuck up my box walls (I work at ups)

God I wish

If there was a recall mechanism, I think it would be unreasonable to restrict it to just the party of the candidate

If that was true, no authoritarian governments would ever get overthrown…

I mean yes, that’s why you have to abandon legal means. Because it’s too late.

I feel like you should leave saying that for another year or 2. It’s understandable that people aren’t quite yet ready to abandon legal means.

I mean… You have the assumption that definitions do not change.
