(seeing this out of context)
the joke I've occasionally seen is:
"Why is there a gap in your résumé from 2025--28?"
"I was in prison."
"You're sure you weren't working for the Trump Administration or ICE? CBP?"
"Drug dealing and burglary. I was in prison, I promise"

Something tells me come 2029 there are going to be a whole lot of chuds trying to get jobs with strange three-to-four year resume gaps from 2025 to 2028.
I'm sure they'll complain that it is 'reverse racism' when no one wants to hire them.

In your house
What gets hollered, is lies.
But the truth
Must lie silent.
Is that how it is?

Wird laut gebrüllt, was Lüge ist.
Aber die Wahrheit
Muß schweigen.

One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

The spirit of '89 is as applicable today as it was the day Lafayette wrote the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen: Women (and men) are born and remain free and equal in rights.

I once told one of my (Russian-American) friends about the Two-Tailed Dog Party's "Rózsa Sándor State Fund Wasting Public Program" named after a famous bandit
he responded immediately to say that, in Russia, they also have election materials featuring a famous bandit, who was also elected President

one thing i want to emphasize is these "illiberal" and "postliberal" authoritarians are just thieves and crooks! trump is thief. orban is a thief. putin is the biggest thief of them all.
wrote about the president’s flagrant and destructive corruption in a column that references street fighter, the simpsons, machiavelli, and a host of revolutionary-era americans (gift link)

I unexpectedly saw an ad for "The Running Man" on YouTube three days ago which had a noticeable display of quite graphic violence, and it threw my sleep schedule totally off-kilter and has noticeably changed my media consumption patterns since
Would you stay on a website where your mentions are full of people posting videos of people being beheaded or videos of pets being tortured? Because that's legal to post, and yet I'm pretty sure you don't want your social hangout to be flooded with it.

Honestly, all I want out of Star Wars post prequels is a warring states period where creatives and gamers have permission to make their own weird little microfactions. The sequels suck for gaming because they explicitly rule out cool stuff happening anywhere else.

Chris Murphy makes a detailed case that Trump is on the brink of meaningfully restricting the space in which the opposition can do politics, in the competitive authoritarian model of autocracies abroad.

The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks.
This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.

I mean, look, the guy defied a fledgling dictator to protest his claim that he can override the Constitution via executive fiat, knowing it risked making him a political prisoner. If that is considered un-American, then the flag deserved to be burned.
