Harris’ nomination locks in another Boomer presidency.

In the two hundred years before the American Civil War there were more than 250 slave revolts involving more than 50 slaves. Most involved between 50-150, but some we much larger. So, Sean Paul, what does this have to do with the Second Amendment Right to Bear Arms? Everything to do with slavery, and nothing to do with holding our government accountable.

The Second Amendment was specifically designed so that white slave holders had enough firepower–not pitchforks–to put down any serious slave rebellion. Look what they did to Gabriel Prosser in 1800? Bet you never heard of him, have ya? Jack Smith went to a new Grand Jury and got a superseding indictment in the January 6th case in light of the Supreme Court’s immunity case. Donald Trump seems to be surprised by this: (FYI: It was Trump’s DOJ in 2020…)

The post Concerts appeared first on Progress in Political Economy (PPE). Nate Wilcox recently wrote about the signal to noise ratio in the information we receive:
The Pentagon buzzword can apply to anything from missiles to pepperoni pizzas inside the military — while papering over the corpses that “lethality” produces. The post What Kamala Harris Meant by “Most Lethal Fighting Force” in Her DNC Speech appeared first on The Intercept. Right now, human population growth is doing something long thought impossible – it’s wavering. It’s now possible global population could peak much earlier than expected, topping 10 billion in the 2060s. Then, it would begin to fall. In wealthier countries, it’s already happening. Japan’s population is falling sharply, with a net loss of 100 people every hour. In Europe, Continue reading »
