Stephen Miller’s ancestors were Jewish refugees from the pogroms in czarist Russia. They came to the U.S. in the early twentieth century, even as racists said this same stuff about them.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

I wish we didn’t have to find out the way we did, but we have a lot of heroes here in Charlotte.
A Charlotte bakery: "We didn’t close during the pandemic, we didn’t close during the recession." The ICE raids have forced them to do what they've never had to before.

So Trump's Border Patrol invasion of Charlotte has succeeded in grabbing men, women and children off the street, widespread racial terror and destruction of personal property.
But at least it's also frozen the construction industry in North Carolina's biggest city too?

Do you know how insanely corrupt you gotta be to make the PRESIDENT OF FIFA cringe at your bullshit???
A news conference started well for Gianni Infantino. Then Trump reiterated threats to relocate World Cup games from LA and Seattle. And then the likely recipient of FIFA’s peace prize didn’t rule out launching strikes on World Cup co hosts Mexico.

“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.

Trump said he would lower drug prices by something like 800%, a promise so mathematically ridiculous that the only way to make it work would be for drug companies to pay Americans to get their prescriptions filled.

This was great news to wake up to. For all of my NYC hot takes, this was the vote I truly cared the most about, and I’m so glad my fellow Mecklenburgers chose to invest in our growth as a city and region.
Mecklenburg County voters approved a tax referendum Tuesday that will set in motion a multi-billion dollar regional transportation overhaul.
