Advocating reparations to the descendants of people that were enslaved.

I've posted about this before.

The saboteur may have pardoned Arpaio as a signal that he will pardon anyone jailed for refusing to testify against him in the Russia investigation. Everyone in Congress must stop appeasing Nazis now.

Germany has set up a facial recognition surveillance system with the privacy protection that all such systems should be required to have: face images that don't match anyone in the search target database are immediately deleted.

I do not use the term "libertarians" for the former group, because what distinguishes them is not support for human rights but economic laissez-faire (dooH niboR). We progressives, who oppose laissez-faire economics, support human rights too.

I will not legitimize the antisocialists' claim that they support liberty more than I do.
