  • I don’t think Saleh is saying anything about all police being this way.

    But the fact that any of them are like this, and that there are enough of them like this, is a genuine problem for the well-being of regular people.

    This isn’t an all-or-nothing situation. We can recognize that there are a significant number of police using violence to accomplish political ends without having to make a disclaimer about not all individual police being this way, because there are clearly enough of them behaving this way that there is real cause for concern.

    Wouldn’t you agree?



  • Pro-Palestine protestors really seem to get the pigs into a rage. They must believe that they’ll be able to get away with it.

    And so far, it looks like they have. Right now, in the U.S., the Trumplicans (and Leon) are revoking the visas of international students who took part in protests to support Palestine. I’d guess for every couple we hear about there are a hundred more we don’t.

    It seems strange the countries all over the world are using similar violence against anyone protesting the Zionist genocide.

    The tiny differential (look at the actual numbers) between liberal/conservatives isn’t much of a story, but it makes for good clickbait and will help the researchers establish themselves in their discipline.

    I think maybe the biggest takeaway from this article is that it points out that all seniors in high school have reported steadily increasing depression over the last thirteen years. I’m willing to bet this trend started earlier in the 2000s. And it’s right in line with more and more and more and more and more of all the available money ending up in the hands of fewer and fewer people. Everyone is more depressed.
