It's weird: I am an immigrant, but I have never once been stopped and subject to questioning about my legal status inside the United States. Nor do I expect to be. Nor does Justice Kavanaugh. Wonder why that is.
This is a paragraph Brett Kavanaugh wrote on his little computer and then sent out into the world:

"When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength." -- Donald Trump, 1990
36 years on, and the Chinese government still seeks to erase the memory of the June 1989 #TiananmenMassacre.
World leaders should renew pressure on Beijing to acknowledge the Tiananmen Massacre and provide reparations to victims' families. bit.ly/3FjDLD6

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

TFW people say that AYSO is “rec ball” like it’s a bad thing. Yeah, that’s why we chose it. My kids are good athletes. They don’t need to train like olympians for 4-10 year old sports, man. Calm down.

This is what it’s like now for LGBTQ+ students at the University of Houston.
Of course, no one with the university told anyone about this. We found out from these signs which were posted last week.

In my experience, white people get weirdly defensive whenever you tell them anything about white people. Even if, like me, you’re a white person yourself.
