All I can think is how incredibly shameful it is for this kind of behind-the-scenes bullying to be happening, but the persons responsible apparently must not see shame in it somehow...?

Condemn single mothers while promoting only "traditional families."

Should be: Condemn single mothers instead of absent parents.

There should be laws against this everywhere (with other forms of data collection included). There's no way preventing cheating is more important than the fundamental rights to security and privacy.

That's highly subjective, but the fascinating book The Dawn of Everything argues otherwise. There are even parts about the anthropological evidence some peoples just up and changed systems every so often (yes, non-violently). Our problem as people in the modern era is many can't imagine anything else, not that no one ever did.

The appropriate, historically accurate comparison is to student protests against South African apartheid and he knows it. Reportedly, those very protests grew into the strong boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement that ended apartheid in South Africa. This is what he fears and what corporate media is actively trying to prevent.

Only people with no information on either the actual history or current situation are going to fall for this baseless slander. Sadly there are probably still a number of those around.

GRM is a Christian ministry that requires all residents to work for them without pay for “six hours a day, six days a week in exchange for a bunk for 30 days.” They also cannot look for outside work during that month. That’s not all though. They must also attend church every Sunday (from a pre-approved list); Unitarian services are not acceptable. And they have to attend a chapel service twice a day. And they can’t smoke or drink. And they can’t have sex during their stay

So it's a cult. Why are cults allowed to pull crap like this? This kind of thing should be prosecuted.

Is that the newspaper that got their papers stolen or were raided or something the day they were going to run a story on the local sheriff, or is this a whole other bizarre confrontation between cops and print media?

I found the last one a lot more authentic-sounding and a decent compliment, honestly. But I don't know, are people really expecting to say/hear flowery speeches along the lines of a bad pick up line?

Seems when both parties in a 2 party-dominated system have unpopular candidates, the horse race ends up being purely about who turns off their base the least. Not who they impress or win over, but just how many votes one doesn't lose and the other does.

Horrific and unconscionable that some state legislators are willing to traumatize kids against the advice of medical professionals... for some people's votes. I really hope this gets shut down.

So many Martin Shkrelis out there pricing drugs to the highest level they can get away with. Every big pharmaceutical company does this kind of thing, especially with new drugs.

We need an acronym like NIMBY to describe entitled drivers. Like NIMPS (not in my parking space) in this case, or something more general.
