Oh no you’re right - Atlanta, Chicago, LA metro areas are all on par with NYC.

But … the NYC metro area agruably stretches beyond DC now.

NYC is more than twice the size of any of those cities. It’s still the city.

e: And Atlanta proper is only half a million people. It’s the metro area that’s got the population. Lots of mayors.

FWIW, NYC is the city.

I saw a longer quote from him. He doesn’t blame online abuse, rather says that it was a (major?) contributing factor. He also said that some of that abuse was coming from other animal rescues, so I’m sure he’s fucking pissed on top of grieving.

Cuttlefish are mad smart … and they only live for two years.

Yes and yes, though I’m not sure what those questions are driving at.

Headline is badly written.

It’s not a “war powers resolution to authorize Trump’s Iran strikes” that Johnson is opposing.

It’s a “war powers resolution [which would prevent US intervention in Iran]” that Johnson opposes, and his opposition is supporting authorization of Trump’s Iran strikes.

So many nations over there proclaim a sort of “we stand with our brothers to the death” out loud while their actions (or lack thereof) say something completely different.

“I said I need a HAM RADIO, not a RADIAL HAM.”

Cuba does this to some extent, though I don’t think it’s internet connected. They do share contraband media smuggled in on SD cards.

“Rogue agency that does [leader’s] bidding” - where have I seen this before?

Looks like he’s feeling the sting of being ignored and has to pump himself up in an attempt to get the world to pay him attention.

So presidential.

Which can easily be twisted to include citizens. You don’t have to be a non citizen to be a “migrant worker.” One might say that someone who moves to a new city is a “migrant.”

All of the boxes require people.

The soap box (speaking, shaming) failed to secure liberty. The ballot box (elections) failed to secure liberty. The jury box (judicial proceedings) failed to secure liberty.

One box remains.

Then the ballot box - the second box of liberty - has failed.

Unless there’s a Sharpie involved, then all bets are off.

Did they even specify “non-citizen”?

If your idea of liberty is unidentified armed masked government agents snatching up people and rendering them to foreign prisons, you might be a fascist.

The Democrats … didn’t bother for 2024.

At least there’s no genocide anymore! /s
