you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

This won't make but a ripple here, but I'm not sure how you can read this except that the preponderance of the evidence is that Trump knew about Epstein's crimes and participated in them.
The president is a notorious sex criminal. Seems impeachable to me - when will the moral majority get on that?

Gonna say it, not enough games about defeating Klansmen, Confederates or neo-Confederates.

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

You’ve gotta admit it’s very convenient that 100 mph is basically the upper limit for how fast humans can throw baseballs. Pretty much the best argument against the metric system

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.
