We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.
They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

Most of today's antiporn nonsense is just warmed over anti-masturbation campaigns. You can tell because none of them ever advocate for masturbating without the allegedly "addictive" nature of porn.
It's old Catholic church dogma for the digital age.

One aspect of US housing policy that doesn't work is the fact that we simultaneously:
A—Want "more affordable" housing

These two goals are difficult to reconcile!
