Recall how the Nazis euthanized the disabled and mentally ill first

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants

the grants are not β€œsubsidies” or β€œentitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever

they aren’t going into universities’ endowments

they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

This admin thinks the only valid court in America is the court of public opinion; and no other courts matter. That’s why we’re seeing a 24/7 firehose of bullshit being televised from the White House everyday.

still trying to understand the unwavering trust in the altruism of a band of shady billionaires who have not only zero evidence of ever helping another person but overwhelming evidence of the opposite

Congress can't just change the Constitution. At least it used to not be able to in the olde days

I’m sure the young guys who’ve been told the world owes them an easy life will jump at the chance to work a twelve hour shift at a blast furnace

People worth standing 25 hrs and 5 min for:

Widows: Seniors relying on Social Security to survive.

Orphans: Kids depending on school meals to eat.

Sojourners: Migrant families seeking safety.

Poor: Those who need aid for food and medicine.

Keep standing for them.

While generally less toxic, this platform seems to have just as high of a bot-to-human ratio. Why can't we have nice things

America has a history with evil men kidnapping people off the streets of Boston & taking them to Louisiana in chains.

I find it unlikely that a school employee is an illegal immigrant who somehow figured out a way to both forge their immigration paperwork and nursing credentials

β€œβ€¦.you will be prosecuted.”

But they weren’t prosecuted. Prosecuted would be having a day in court. Prosecuted would require the government to prove gang membership. Prosecuted would mean the chance to mount a defense.

They weren’t prosecuted. They were kidnapped, trafficked, and enslaved.

This is it. The tragedy is that they just think govt is a big joke, when in reality they've benefitted from a flawed, but largely, working system

Honestly curious from these parents why they're needing to do this

If someone was walking around waving a gun people would at least notice. Somehow we're just cool with car violence
