Look, Vance knows this is false. He doesn’t actually believe it. He has said this outright. For fascist filth like Vance, factual correctness is irrelevant. All that matters is whether it is symbolically correct. It’s vice signaling. Does it accurately represent your imagined fears?
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."

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Just under 12% of Sacramento County — that's 190,000 people — is on SNAP and will lose benefits in five days. If you have *any* cash to spare, now would be a really really really good time to send it their way: www.sacramentofoodbank.org

When transphobes talk about "basic biology" like they're experts, it always reminds me of a seven year old who declares they know all the numbers that exist because they learned to count to 100.

This (moderate) level of racial competency is VERY rare for someone of this demo; white folks should’ve been listening to and learning from people like this for decades.
Sadly, it’s too late to dismantle racism, now. Racism has won.
White America chose it instead of a hyper-qualified Black Woman. 🙁

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

Donald Trump knocked down the White House East Wing without notice and before approvals —a developer move known as ‘anticipatory demolition,’ where you tear down a building before the preservationists can intervene. His dad did it too.

It’s extraordinary that anyone would even think ‘the normies won’t care about the East Wing’. Conservation of built heritage is one of the most powerful normie causes going, it matters enough to have entire fields of law in every country, and an industry strong enough to employ people like me

When Trump or his goons talk about "antifa," they might as well be talking about demons or leprechauns.
But this fake threat shows how the Trump administration has fully absorbed real organized criminal gangs.
Yep, echoes of Nazi history in this.
