@kiva.org Why are so many people from Nicaragua still (after 10 years) repaying for their loans they needed for housing while about half of my US loans defaulting with large amounts left to pay.
Something is a bit off here.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:
Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.
Q: But you’re foxes!
Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

There's actually a Nazi version of this joke:
Rabbits from Germany are trying to cross the boder to the Netherlands.
- Why, asks the customs officer
- The Gestapo is persecuting all giraffes as enemies of the state.
- But you are rabbits.
- You tell the Gestapo

If Oct. 7 had never happened, Trump would right now be pulling funding from Columbia and Harvard because of DEI policies or admissions requirements or what research they were doing or all of the above. The right hates universities and that’s it.

So a reminder:
It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.
It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.
It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.
For the record.

I can’t tell you how different it is on X now after so many people have left. I have always followed mostly right-wing accounts because I cover them, and they are running out of people to pick fights with. So they’re just mostly fighting with each other.

KEEP AN EYE ON GEORGIA in the following hours as the regime will want to clean the protest for Ivanishvili and his puppets to enter the Parliament in violation of the Constitution (not only were the elections rigged, but there’s a pending constitutional case).

Behold! Ukrainian Nationalism 🫴
I am extremely tired of this treatment. It's a Ukrainian game, about Ukraine, made by Ukrainians.
You won't see people saying "Japanese nationalism peeking through" when they see a kimono and a rising sun imagery in a Japanese game. Absurd. And offensive.

It was a 49% to 48% election.
Fascism won by a hair.
And it took Russian and MAGA bomb threats, a hoax regarding battleground-state police raids, an illegal Musk-funded lottery, $600M given to Trump by just 15 people, Netanyahu meddling in our politics, and Democrats staying home for it to happen.
