I looked through a different article and it said this: "Trump will be the first president since Herbert Hoover in 1932 not to speak at the conference at all, skipping it entirely in 2016 as the presidential nominee and again in 2017 and 2018."

So your man was invited but didn't come.

Did they invite him during his first term?

Also the anniversary of an important attempt to liberate the Dominican Republic from Trujillo, a fascist dictator who was propped up by the USA.

A very big portion of How to Blow Up a Pipeline by Andreas Malm criticizes this study and how it ignores the more violent and property-destroying aspects of the movements it studied.

As Malm describes, the radical flank effect is a well-documented phenomenon in which the presence of a more militant faction in a social movement makes the authorities much more likely to compromise with the moderate elements.

I suggest you read the book if you haven't already.

Belarus still runs their own KGB.

The crosses are iron at least

Doesn't everyone get excited though? Even as a kid I would get excited because it would make chores easier.

That's horrible! You guys need to cut the personality cults out.

I had to pass through US customs on my way home (layover in JFK). Bastards have portraits of Trump and Noem on the fucking wall.

Bones are organs

Fuck the cops but ngl that last bit of advice kinda slaps

Yes but water touches itself. Abortion ain't murder though.

Is it Gen Z or the Boomers?

The username looks to me like a joke

Screaming twenties

Technically not. They were born with the ability to hold eggs but lost it. Not saying I agree with the transphobe, but the definition technically doesn't exclude the elderly.

According to the article, the context for the flashy headline is that all Catholics are children of God and that all must be treated with compassion, while still acknowledging that pedophiles are monsters.

I will not pretend that Francis's hands are totally clean. He has mistreated abuse cases in the past. Around 2019 he actually started implementing some reforms that have to some extent helped. While I don't think he did enough, he did much more than his predecessors. I highly suspect the next pope will be another Benedict and not another Francis. Consequently, I suspect that the mishandling will get worse.

He was an alright Pope in the end. Not a soulless bastard like Benedict.

The taxes also go to prisons and cops. Where they primarily go is a matter of politics.
