I absolutely do want people thinking about what it means that white billionaires who got here without following "the rules" get to stay and scoop up federal subsidies, while poor refugees end up in an alligator swamp concentration camp.
Those are the two sides of the MAGA immigration coin.

Not that this administration cares about unintended consequences, but this just highlights the stupidity of their position on citizenship.
Like the author, I’m an adoptee via a closed adoption. ND is one of the states with restrictive laws on access to original birth certificates. I do know the almost certain identity of my biomom (and she knows my name), but that was against my will and truly by accident and coincidence for her.
I’m adopted.
So I wrote about how an attempt to dismantle birthright citizenship could affect adoptees. It’s also about family, community, and what it means to belong.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Kidnapping.
Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.
Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.
A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.
-You cannot legally deport people without due process.
-You cannot legally deport citizens.
-They are defining down deportation to break the law.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Maternal death rate isn't as bad if you don't count Black women, GOP senator says
Louisiana's Bill Cassidy said the state's maternal death rate isn't so high if you "correct our population for race," Politico reported.

A bracing essay. I don't agree with all of it but I do think the overall thesis is true: the 2024 election wasn't a populist howl against neoliberalism, but an expression of dominance by those interested in maintaining social hierarchies

Because the below skeet went viral here, and people are arguing over it, I'm going to share some more info about it from a thread I did at the other place. I really need to just do an article about it but haven't done that yet. Until then, I hope readers find this thread useful. 🧵
Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.
