I write words. Words are written. Words that form writing. Words to the wise. Word to your mother. Word to your father too. Have you heard? The bird is the word. My word is bond. Bond, James Bond. I, too, was shaken, if not stirred. Shaken by my words. The words I write. Because I write words. Word.
Only 17 pages in and I am winded.
This passage, folks… Don’t ever write like this. Just don’t do it.

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder
No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

So many of us on the academic and research side have been trying to warn of what is to come if and when this Supreme Court literally helps “repeal the 20th century” as the right has been stating is their goal for a decade.
If and when birthright goes the reenslavement can begin again.

without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law.
revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.
