"The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born"

Them: ok, so we'll change things so being native-born doesn't grant citizenship rights either, and for good measure let's also detain, deport, beat, and murder our own citizens.

So we're treating them the same!

I'm old enough to remember the conservative viewpoint used to be that mutual aid was always better than government and that people should self-organize to help each other instead of relying on government.

It really seems they loved big government all along and just disagreed with helping others.

Well, Ken, next time you spend a few million bucks helping a fellow billionaire get elected, ya might want to check out their platform proposals beyond "cut taxes for the rich". They usually have *other* dumb and dangerous ideas.

/6 ICE is a monument to totalitarianism, lawlessness, and bigotry. It should be ripped out and woodchippered root and branch and replaced with something focused on the concept that you can’t defend the rule of law by burning it down.

They later claim he “reached for something” after illegally searching him and discovering a legally owned firearm in a conceal-carry state. The video contradicts them.

If refusing to “carry papers” gets a U.S. citizen assaulted and arrested, this isn’t law enforcement. It’s a police state.

Grateful to @geneweingarten.bsky.social for bringing up a story of a murder in the Civil Rights era that I had never heard of, one that has particular relevance right now.

China would know - their original excuse for invading Tibet was to protect it from foreign imperialism!

And one last thing. As a true outsider, I said she was going to win early on and no one believed me. It's a mountain of stress. You know that. You wonder if it's worth it.

I no longer wondered if it was worth it when I saw her hand out 100 or so backpacks one day. Regardless now, it was worth it.

I never pass up the chance to talk about the citizenship case of Bhagat Singh Thind, who argued that he was as disgusted by the Indian lower castes as American whites were by other races, so therefore he was racist enough to be considered legally white.
It’s not “dunking” to point out that racial hierarchies are fluid and that present racists conveniently ignore the racial judgments of prior generations of racists as they attempt to appeal to now-white members of the former underclass
I see a lot of people dunking on Miller, and rightly so. But the point of racism isn't the internal coherence, but the power structure: Getting to determine who is in and who is out. In other words, a small group of people get to decide -- not abstract rules.

And people ask why there's not more public transit usage in Houston.

It's convenient if you live right by one stop and work right by another stop on the same line.

Otherwise, you're sweat-drenched walking to/from stops, hope you make your connections, and it takes forever.

The answer is: people have personal, political, and bodily autonomy. If a movement has meaningfully helped them accomplish that then it is good. If you are proposing to take that away from them because you are asserting they somehow can't be trusted to make their own right choices then you are bad.

These pieces really do make it clear that it's not so much that men like this view chatbots as human women. It's that they don't actually view women as humans. We're flattery machines that are defective if we don't sufficiently flatter them.

Fentanyl is fentanyl. It’s a molecule. The illicit form, which is the same molecule as the medical form, comes in a different physical state (solid rather than liquid) making it even less of a threat/concern to anyone who isn’t using illicit drugs. It’s one of the most studied compounds in existence
The official white house statement specifies "illicit fentanyl" as being a WMD.

They don't clearly state what distinguishes it from licit fentanyl, which is presumably what his staffers were given.

ICE agents should already know that ~ 90% of Somalis living in the Twin Cities are citizens so those that are out in public when ICE is in town are almost certain to be citizens. Barricading Somalis in restaurants isn't meant to find undocumented immigrants, it's meant to intimidate.
