… as an economic sanction well into the war, Lincoln outlawed slavery.

Expanding on this –

It’s important to note that the Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves only in Confederate-controlled states, and not in Union border states, as well as welcoming any of those freed people into the Union Army. This served the multiple purposes of: creating chaos in the Confederacy; negatively impacting the economy of the Confederacy; forcing states in rebellion to expend more resources on controlling the enslaved people within their borders (and by extension, fewer resources on waging war); and increasing membership in the Union Army.

Yes, people are still talking about the FCC chair and the president violating the First Amendment with exactly zero consequences.

Revolutions are never “legal”.

I’m being radicalized by a fascist government. But I’m not a “youth”.

Ohhhh it’s UniversalMonk, I get it now.

Obvious troll is obvious.

With NATO’s help, as one of his sycophants introduces a bill withdrawing the US from NATO.

The other subtext is coloring Schumer and Jeffries as terrorists.

If we don’t hang together, we will hang separately.

I understood immediately: “Democrats bad.” That’s what they were trying to say.

When it’s fucking fascists who are actively and obviously creating all of the problems, and someone throws shade on literally anyone else about it, that person is a fucking fascist.

Make no mistake: I’m not saying the DNC or any specific Democrat is “perfect” by any stretch. I am saying that demanding perfection from anyone who’s taking even the slightest stand against fascism is counterproductive, considering the behemoth that must be taken down. They want us to fight with each other, so that we’re less effective at fighting them.

American Democrats

No idea what the fuck this part is about

It’s about astroturfers taking every opportunity to smear Democrats, even if it doesn’t make any sense at all.

If.

I can diagnose and fix a whole lot of things, probably better than most people. Working on the drivetrain of an RV is an order of magnitude more a pain in the ass than a regular car or truck. Certain parts can be hard to come by on older vehicles. Having the additional pressure of “You have to get this working so you can move before the RV park gets pissed off” makes it worse. And an old RV is likely to have horrible livability without having been recently rehabbed. Brakes - arguably the easiest thing to work on - are even going to more difficult, because they’re going to be big truck brakes.

Older vehicles are not more reliable than newer ones. Don’t get me wrong; I love carburetors and points and drum brakes, but for not having to put a wrench on anything, give me electronic ignition and fuel injection all day long. All those sensors and variable valve timing bits pay you back in fuel economy.

If it’s a travel trailer, that’s probably easy enough for most people to repair as necessary, and if you can’t, at least you can disconnect your tow vehicle. A proper driving Breaking Bad RV is a whole other story; many more complicated ways that can leave you stranded, and having to get an RV towed is gonna cost you. And if you have an RV that’s reliable enough to not have to worry about that so much … you already have plenty of money and don’t need to live in it.

Por que no los dos

They’re on those untrackable military planes to Africa, I guarantee it.

Investigate yo self

Apparently, saying that someone is going to “have a bad day today” requires a thorough investigation.

Broadview, IL, is a near west suburb of Chicago. ICE has also been reported in the far west suburbs of West Chicago, Naperville, Aurora, Wheaton, and elsewhere.

Collect the information, pass the information to a colleague who doesn’t have Pentagon press credentials, profit.

Yes, there are consequences to standing up. The consequences of not standing up are so much worse.
