I’d just like to point out that counter protesters outside the hotels used to house immigrants/asylum seekers are not all “left wing.” Many are just decent human beings sick of the way these people have been demonised by our Labour government, the Tories and Reform.

report losing $7,000 in a single night or seeing sales fall by 75% on normally busy evenings. In neighborhoods like Columbia Heights, street vendors say foot traffic has “disappeared,” with business now worse than during the pandemic. Chinatown, some shop owners estimate a 30–40% drop in sales.

A perk of living with other autistic people, I don’t have to explain why I can’t use a certain fan. I just have to turn it on so they can hear the high pitch sound it makes (that is either caused by a gear needing lubricant or just electricity) and it gets unanimously voted out of the house.

The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.
