To be clear - finally - escaped asylum seekers from insane asylums, in Venezuela or elsewhere, are not welcome in the US and should go back to where they come from. Nothing new under the sky.
Psychologists and psychiatrists call this "concrete thinking." It reflects an inability to engage in abstract thinking, and a strong propensity to think of all nouns as depicting physical objects.
It's the first way children begin to understand how to describe the world with words.

Saying MAGA wants to score political points from the Charlie Kirk killing gets you banned from TV
Advocating killing homeless people by lethal injection - just fine

A Kyiv Harmonia orchestra has created a musical overture titled "Shahed" (russian drone).
It freaked me out because of how believable it is.

Just in case you were still wondering whether or not the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under Trump is deliberately and aggressively undermining the protection of the environment, and threatening our present/future.
Breaking news: The Environmental Protection Agency announced a proposal to rescind the landmark legal opinion that underpins virtually all of its regulations to curb climate change.
EPA moves to end climate regulation under Clean Air Act
The agency proposal would rescind the landmark “endangerment finding,” which says that greenhouse gases are a threat to public health.

The devotion to Trump is not intellectual – it’s emotional. He makes racist, sexist white people feel good about being racist and sexist. They’ll support a treasonous sexual predator if he makes them feel better about themselves. I don’t know how we can get those people to grow a conscience.

Starving children and innocent civilians to death is a moral atrocity that cannot abide the conscience of those who believe in human dignity.
