This applies to the intolerant trying to gain power to inflict their intolerance on the wider society, not performing odious acts within their own families. It doesn't make sense here at all. We shouldn't tolerate murders because they're murders, not because we're going to end up with a surprise caliphate.
It's because describing a 56 percentage point increase as 56 percent increase implies a totally different result. A 56 percentage point increase on 10% is 66%. A 56 percent increase on 10% is 15.6%.
A) My student government certainly didn't have a budget worthy of boycotting anything.
B) Do it anyway. Boycotts are speech, you're in California, and students aren't obligated to do anything because the school would prefer it. Hell, do it because they told you not to.
C) Don't boycott a specific country. Boycott all countries found to be plausibly engaging in genocide. Or all countries currently occupying extraterritorial land. Or all countries currently engaged in large scale offensive military operations. Give an exception for the US of A because you're so patriotic. Israel is in a small club of rogue nations and we don't generally do business with them.
This is very clearly a first amendment violation. The state can't dictate how you refer to yourself or how others choose to refer to you. This is another one of those cases that shows the judiciary is infested with people who do not even care to pretend to be practicing law anymore.
The leading edge of the Nazi thought machine is already saying it.

These aren't contractors. They're mercenaries.
Uh, there are lots of Christian denominations who allow women to lead churches. And majority Catholic nations who have happily elected women (like the Latino countries who you people like to also say are too dedicated to machismo to vote for women).
Don't justify your bigotry by an appeal to tradition of the people who already won't vote for Democrats. This isn't a well thought through argument, it's just a reactionary justification.
The ticker is very relevant. ICE is now a world-ranked military force. They're building concentration camps. Even if it were actually just for immigrants, eventually they'll be deported and you have a bulked up secret police and empty gulags just sitting there waiting to be used.
Cato probably agrees with that statement, but at least they have some actual principles about small government rather than small government for good things and big government for bad things.
All the fucking second-order sexists here saying we can't elect a woman because two of the worst female candidates ever lost.
These are the same people who said Obama couldn't win because he was black. Not that they were racist, no they love black people, but they just want to make absolutely extra sure we don't actually try to elect one. Because they imagine their neighbor/uncle/coworker would look at everything going on and think "none of that is important, no black presidents". They're not racist, they just advocate for racism. And with this most facile of analyses they'll believe themselves to be politically savvy realists rather than reactionary children.
This is the cowardice that dooms liberalism. At every opportunity they want to worry about what their opponents will like and time after time will try to blame strategy or immutable characteristics for the failures of their do-nothing policies. Politics is about change. When people's lives suck you don't try to tell them we'll keep doing the same things. And whether the person talking change is a charismatic black man or a clown show, or even... A FEEEMALE, they'll vote for them.
We absolutely don't know anything of the sort. Centrist assholes just cling to that excuse to avoid acknowledging that focusing on appealing to conservatives and pledging to maintain the status quo is a failure.
A REAL MAGA warrior would double down on triggering those lib kids. Van Orden is a RINO CUCK.
