Chicago cops are a mess right now

this is happening right now. See the whole thread. At 0:14 an officer appears to push a man backwards with a baton who has his hands up. Nothing good can come of this. You can tell the police are heated. Praying for everyone to make it home safely. One man is already dead. https://twitter.com/naderdissa/status/1018293418748010496

This is a long thread about Julian assange being extradited for mueller to indict and/or flip him

Man, I think we had a missed opportunity canvassing today

I think it's almost a chess game sometimes

Guy opens the door, first thing he says "I'm a republican", but he didn't close the door in our face, so perhaps if we opened more on a cost route, "right now this country spends the most on healthcare and receives the worst outcomes of any industrialized nation, let's spend smarter" or some shit we might have gotten a second move

I dunno

The moral argument is dead simple. The economic argument also exists, but it isn't as easy to articulate (just, simply because the moral one is so extremely easy)

We did also have about 3 or 4 flat "socialists? No" too which was not great

If nothing else it's given us an opportunity to consider how we do

Hi. Hopefully this doesn’t take up too much vertical space.

Apologies to @Wipqozn and @GodEmperorDune first. I really messed up and offended you two and needless to say I feel like shit about it. I’m happy to take the suspension on that. None of this was my intention. I really detest being involved in meta-arguments, especially over things like what happened yesterday, and I just wanted it to be over so the room could move onto actual news (I posted some to that extent, which obviously backfired). The anger that you picked up on in those messages, it really wasn’t towards you — it was towa…
