I read a smart thing about marking up vile things before reposting them, so the brain is signaled before reading and we aren’t normalizing them by giving them more oxygen. So, something like this, from me with no particular online skills? Tips for better marking?

Undocumented Immigrants mostly rent their residences from corporate landlords who buy up homes on the market and drive up prices for everyone.

Just like Big Ag does with farms. The rich are the only ones at fault.
FOX NEWS: Do you believe that the number of people who came into the country illegally is one of the major factors that drove up housing prices?

The misery embedded in this bill will immiserate millions for as far as the eye can see. Like the ACA, you really gotta pass it to see what’s in it. And it’s not going to have a 60% approval rating 16 years from now.

This memo justifying Trump's boat murders is ugly stuff. DOJ lawyers take the White House's version of reality as gospel and use that as the basis for their case.
