Let’s be 100% clear:
If Dems cave right now instead of Reps nuking the filibuster, then Dems will be solely responsible for our healthcare costs skyrocketing, and handing Trump pure unlimited power.
Telling your opposition (who is trying to kill you) that you will always fold.

One key: “…As a result, the expectation is for the lake effect snow bands to be unusually intense with peak snow rates of 3 to locally 5 inches per hour, frequent lightning and thunder, and pockets of hail.”

Both sides of a conflict are calling each other evil and corrupt, rendering me, a humble journalist, helpless to discern the truth. Best I can do is let you know that both sides are in fact saying those things. Hope this helps

"Protesters are expected to absorb violence but never inflict it—to function as shock absorbers to be acted upon, whose sympathetic value is nullified by any deviation from that standard ... under capitalism, 'peace' is the maintenance of violence on the state’s terms."
"If your tactics disrupt the order of things under capitalism, you may well be accused of violence, because 'violence' is an elastic term often deployed to vilify people who threaten the status quo. Conditions that the state characterizes as 'peaceful' are, in reality, quite violent."

To be fair, China isn’t doing anything the US hasn’t done to China.
As I noted the other day, tariffs, sanctions, and export controls were all first imposed by the US on China over the past decade.
The US wrongly believed that its hard power policy would convince others to fold immediately.
