Y'all the defendant/s will try a motion to dismiss in that defamation before it ever gets to discovery where they will argue lack of Actual Malice/causation/that the statement was an opinion and they will likely win.
And as if on cue, DHS is trying to pretermit Venezuelan asylums.

Jesus fucking Christ these people are soulless ghouls.

We were going to see in the heights in the movies and running late. I couldn't see and heard the sound coming from straight ahead and speed walked into a wall hard enough to break a rib.

Wife laughed for a solid 5 minutes.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

I appreciate that the Maduro Government is both so corrupt and criminal it had to be illegally toppled by force but also so stable and making advancements in security, healthcare and the economy that we had to cancel TPS.

Reposting this b/c it’s a new year, and because the American healthcare system is stupid and Texas makes it worse, I had to change ACA plans effective today because my old plan is no longer offered. All my deductibles and out of pocket amounts reset today. I appreciate you all more than you know.

How willing is a Dem to abandon minorities for the lightest whisper of a lead is a good test for who is worth our time and a lot of faves have already failed.
This is rapidly becoming a single issue litmus test for me. Politicians who parrot Ivy League-brained Substack consultants on this one deserve to lose, and if they don’t manage to lose their primaries they’ll lose to Republicans
And I think liberals should stop taking the bait and ceding ground on immigration.

Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.

Since Haitian-Cuban entrants are anyone who was given a status under immigration laws for Haitians or Cubans and TPS was a statute that was extended to Haitians, any Haitian who was approved for TPS should qualify as a Haitian-Cuban entrant for social security purposes.

When you got Common Law but he just cracked open a pack with Epic Law and now his deck is better then yours.
I had missed this latest delirium by Adrian Vermeule on birthright citizenship

'Common law?! NAH, it's the Roman law of adoption that should govern the interpretation of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution!'

I am often deeply distressed at how often my party is willing to excuse rank incompetence, jelly kneed cowardice and gleeful collaboration so long as the person in question asks some mean questions or has witty soundbites in a hearing.

The government is very deliberately NOT trying to deport Mr. Abrego Garcia. Since August, he has been asking them to deport him to Costa Rica, yet the Trump admin keeps refusing to do it (and lying about why) because they want to send him to Africa to punish him. Here's how Judge Xinis summed it up.

For those of you who are freaking out about the Gold Card who follow me but somehow not Aaron.
This is still VERY illegal. The Trump admin says anyone who pays $1 million will be deemed to have "exceptional business ability" and become eligible for an employment-based immigrant visa.

But there's nothing stopping someone from just getting a loan or using parents' money.

How the fuck did they fuck this up.

My one joy in all this is that my opponents are as stupid as they are evil.

On the one hand LPR status is a path to citizenship, but on the other, I might be out of practice on these but don't EB-1 and E-B2 visas have statutory requirements?
Despite the nebulous and misleading claim that it is a “direct path to citizenship,” the website explains it only confers residency.

Congrats Cubanitos, thanks to you and Papi Tromp you have achieved what I thought impossible.

You have made things fair for Cubans in immigration compared to everyone else.

Buen Probecho.
Don't let the craziness with the Supreme Court distract from the big immigration story; people from 19 different countries, including Haiti, Venezuela, and Cuba, are currently trapped in an immigration limbo, with their citizenship and green card applications (among others) put indefinitely on hold.

We are literally run by Know-Nothings.

Fuck them and fuck those who try to appease them.
Now official policy of the United States:

—Immigration is exclusively harmful

—All nations must “only rarely” grant citizenship to foreigners

—Immigration will “erase” Europe within 20 years and the US must act to prevent that

Read it yourself.
A few thoughts on the new US national security strategy that was released today.

Hmm middle class person with a disability that got and required accomodations in school, ask me anything I guess.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

Welp, at least I know if I ever want an easy law degree I can just go to Oklahoma and they will let me pass by writing "I love Jesus" on all my tests and papers.
