Does he cite to any cases saying someone here illegally cannot sue or be sued?

Because I’ve been in lawsuits with undocumented immigrants on both sides & nobody ever raised that argument.

Is he saying it would violate Due Process for a state to exercise personal jurisdiction over someone not lawfully in the US?

So if someone here illegally runs a red light and hits me, it is actually unconstitutional to sue them in a US court? Does he cite to actual cases saying that?

The cartoon is the opposite of fat shaming. The portly anti-KKK voter used his size to defeat the Klan.

Don’t know. But NPR falsely said it was a US medical journal.

Its country may be irrelevant, but if mentioned should be factually correct.

I come from the “don’t print lies in the newspaper” school of media criticism.

That’s a weird timescale. 6 months is as long as 3 years.

In fairness, it started strong (51-56) & finished strong (73-75)

I’m not going to nitpick a few errors in between

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Odd. Helium is recovered from oil & gas operations, but many other countries do that. Wonder why Qatar went all in on helium recovery. 1/3 world supply is enormous.
