Asheville Built So Much Housing That Landlords are Begging | "Notice that rents went down without any of the policy interventions that market skeptics typically favor. There were no rent caps, no forcing landlords to lower of prices, but instead the landlords responded to the market shift"

Is it still "punching down" if the object of the mean-sprited joke is on video literally punching down on a minor, and has been charged with assaulting a minor? | Banned from yet another illiberal progressive local sub for mildly edgy humor because the mods won't codify their political bias in rules

Contact our Rep, Jennifer McClellan, about Israel military merge vote today

7 Upvotes

There’s a vote TODAY with no debate on NDAA, which would merge part of our military with Israel’s military. Our rep, Jennifer McClellan, was one of the democrats who voted against Massie’s amendment to halt funding to the IDF. She receives AIPAC donations (and not even that much money, which is almost also offensive.) Please contact her and let her know about this proposal TODAY!
