@invisimono @DemSocialists What's relevant is whether Lon Nol was better than Prince Sihanouk, "better" meaning more legitimate in the eyes of the Cambodian peasantry. Lon Nol's illegitimacy & corruption, the "secret bombing," then massive U.S. invasion & withdrawal are what enabled Khmer Rouge victory.

[Chris Lowe @cclowe]

@invisimono @DemSocialists The Nixon administration led by Kissinger backed Lon Nol's coup against Prince Sihanouk's government, invaded Cambodia without authorization, & dropped an astonishing quantity of bombs on the country creating the conditions for the Khmer Rouge victory.

@StarTribune U.S. spending on militarism including the quadrupling of military aid to Israel in support of ethnic cleansing comes at the expense of education and human needs. These are reasons for unions to speak out.

[Chris Lowe @cclowe]

@StarTribune Commenters are lying about the statement, which is strong in condemning all anti-civilian violence. It is not antisemitic to have a single standard. Nowhere does it support Hamas.

@eric_hedford @alex_zee Also, as @darkesttimline 's post implies, particular interests within districts including localities can organize behind candidates that speak for them & as opponents pointed out get elected with ca. 25% support (i.e., first-ranked support, plus some second & third-ranked).

@NeolibCicero @insp_M_Callahan @CommissionerRG Culture wars are part of your problem. Thank Lon Mabon & Newt Gingrich. But it’s also economic ideologues who are actually anti-governance. I went to high school with Charlie Baker. He tried to solve problems. Vic Atiyeh or Norma Paulus today? Nah. Tom McCall? Heaven forfend!

@stxpdx @sisterspdx Not homeless people doing that. Organized crime.

[Sisters Of The Road @sisterspdx]

Arrest data from Portland and five other major West Coast cities show that the neighborhood outcry is fueling the vast criminalization of the homeless for largely nonviolent violations

@FarrahChaichi Thanks for your work to address this outrageous situation.

[Chris Lowe @cclowe]

@FarrahChaichi For shame.
