This was Atlanta PD's response to the peaceful protests over the murder of Tyre Nichols last night.
Tanks do not belong on American streets.
Delimitarize the police now.
This tweet has a serious “He took my toy fire truck” vibe. Whining is very unbecoming. Bless your heart. – at Greenville, SC

Like any other industry, if you want airlines to improve their systems, then the federal government needs to stop intervening whenever they fail. Only consumers can effectively discipline companies. Bailouts and regulations disguise corporate mismanagement and reduce competition.

Congress now routinely passes most major legislation in a multi-thousand-page omnibus bill, crafted in secret at the end of each year, with no time to read, in a nearly empty House chamber with no floor amendments allowed and no real debate. This is oligarchy, not representation.

Today I told my husband that I have been really sad but I don’t share it because I don’t want my grief to be a burden. And This is how it begins. Where sharing sadness is BELIEVED to be such a burden, that NOT living is seen as a courtesy to those you love.

Almost universally, members of Congress do not read the bills they vote on. Neither do their staffs. Sometimes because they’re not given time by the speaker or leader. Often because they just don’t care. If you think this is ever okay, then please don’t claim you value democracy.

Whoever wins the House, one thing is for sure: It will still function as an oligarchy, not as a representative body.

A. I don't elect anyone, voters do
B. The largest pool of voters in the election was the non-voter
C. Both campaigns should have prepared themselves for a runoff
D. Republicans haven't balanced a budget in decades
Don't blame me.
Blame your candidate who underperformed

We can honor our veterans by ensuring that no American is sent to fight in any war that is immoral, unjust, open-ended, not in U.S. interests, and not authorized by Congress. And we can pass Defend the Guard to uphold the Constitution and keep state Guards out of unlawful combat.

Exit polling is showing what I already knew was true.
Libertarian votes came from all types. It's not a specifically right or left wing philosophy.
It's a philosophy rooted in your individual liberty to live in peace. It's not Left vs Right, it's the right to be left alone.
Fourth, I am proud of the reported 20,652 votes we received, and I am thankful to each sandlapper who cast them. Over 20,000 people were not swayed from supporting a ticket they could truly believe in. – at Wade Hampton, SC
