“Hide behind the first amendment” wtf? It’s a law, if it applies it’s your right. Unhinged.
Department of Homeland Security announces plan to screen foreign U.S. residents' social media for antisemitism.

While I agree with this take, we must remember that these sentiments (e.g. anti-vax) are motivated. Underlying them is a kernel of truth. A warranted distrust of an exploitative and dysfunctional healthcare system.
It's not just people who have it easy, its also desperation and helplessness.

🧵 time so buckle up! So let’s talk about the claim that Muskrat made about SSA giving Social Security Numbers (SSNs) to noncitizens. To be clear, since he did not make this distinction, the chart he showed does NOT mean those people received benefits. The chart was specific to SSNs assigned via 1/?

Reviewer on the last paper accused us of using ChatGPT, because the title had an uncommon word. Bro hasn't heard of thesaurus before?
Also was he thinking we used ChatGPT only on the title? He didn't criticize the rest of the text. Who'd generate just a title?

The US proves that conservative economics is a smokescreen. The economy is in full swing and yet the same “stimulus” measures of reducing tax on the wealthy are being pushed. To what end?
NO. At a time of massive income and wealth inequality we should not be giving tax breaks to billionaires. We should demand that they start paying their fair share.
