@Anna_Giaritelli @dcexaminer Lol that piece of paper means they entered the country legally. Later on they just didn’t keep up with the paperwork, that’s made them “illegal.” These ICE guys don’t understand their own job

@AidanSimardone Tomorrow for at least one day the stock market will agree with you (again)

I feel crazy. There is an energy crisis looming. I am screaming the end is near but no one cares

@the_boring_dad @GaryWinslett As though the empires of the 18th & 19th centuries didn't regulate their economies. As though humans discovered for the first time that we can shape economic behavior from within government only after coal was discovered
English
@GaryWinslett The difference is regulations: in a free market people can move around and find something else to do. Today we face the twin demons of red tape and NIMBYism, which make new things a lot harder to do.

In 1800, 4 out of 5 workers worked in agriculture. Today, it's 1.2-1.5%.
The tractor did not lead to mass unemployment.
Neither will AI.
We've always found new things for other people to do. We'll do that again. It's going to be ok.

@offbeatorbit Couple days ago at some humble wedding drinks, someone told me Roger's wedding would make me hate him as a character. This made me wonder if he celebrates his 2nd wedding with Ivy Leaguer blackface accapella bullshit ... but maybe how he does will be even worse!
English
Ohhh I know the Roger blackface episode comin on next lol

@offbeatorbit Shit I'm at the end of s2. How far into the future am I looking here?

JD Vance:
* Converts to Catholicism, publicly rebuked by two consecutive popes
* Nearly loses the Ohio Senate seat in the Biden midterm
* Iran negotiations that somehow resulted in a blockade of a blockade
* Endorses Orban, thus ending his 16-year rule

@JustAFamilyMan_ We reserve the label Blue MAGA for people who talk like the Democratic Party can do no wrong. You're right that we seek to take over that party, but the goal is of course to lower homelessness and make healthcare cheaper, quite different from the goals of MAGA
English
Isn’t it ironic that Leftist call regular normie Democrats “Blue MAGA” when themselves and MAGA are two sides of the same populist coin. Both of insurgent movements trying to usurp the established parties with MAGA succeeding in that venture.

@Gravtum @emiceanic @AdrianAdriasola Welfare states and freedom of the press on the one hand, perhaps, with capitalist authoritarianism lite on the other?
English
@emiceanic @AdrianAdriasola I get what you're saying, but the "West" here is neither a person nor a nation. It's more like a set of beliefs around individualism, democracy, capitalism, secularism, and the rule of law. So it's pro West vs pro whatever the fuck Putin-Orbán-Trump are.

@hermit_hwarang Just like the US image depends on the pretense that genocide of Native Americans was uniquely acceptable, the Israeli image depends on the (admittedly more convincing) pretense that the Nazi genocide was incomparably worse than all others

The President of South Korea said a video of the IOF tossing a Palestinian child off of a roof reminded him of Japanese crimes against Koreans during colonialism and the Holocaust
israel says this “trivializes” the Holocaust. As if Koreans and Palestinians are inherently cheaper
Israel Foreign Ministry@IsraelMFA
The remarks by the President of Korea, Lee Jae Myung, including the trivialization of the massacre of Jews on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel, are unacceptable and warrant strong condemnation. President Lee Jae Myung, for some strange reason, chose to dig up a story from 2024 and to cite a fake account that falsely presented it as a current event. This account is notorious for spreading anti-Israeli disinformation and falsehoods about Israel. The event discussed occurred during an operation against terrorists, at a time when Israeli soldiers were facing direct and immediate threats to their lives. The event was thoroughly investigated and addressed two years ago. Yet we have not heard a single word from the President about the terrorists who were at the center of this event. Nor have we heard a word from the President regarding the recent Iranian and Hezbollah terror attacks against Israeli citizens. Mr. President, it’s always better to check before posting.

@RaxstineJ @neyikaybettik This video is, first of all, form back when the bombings & destruction in Gaza were at a much higher pace, before that ceasefire. Secondly, many hospitals did not survive it. Those that did were damaged. The population of the place has fallen by dozens to hundreds of thousands
English
@neyikaybettik IDK what to believe they show pictures, and videos of GAZA basically blown apart including hospitals, so how are so many people still there, and hospitals still running without any damage? seems staged to me.

@dwb138204334154 @lovingsgirl @martyrmade If the country of Israel, established as a colony by the British empire, attacks people whose great grandparents lived on that land before Britain did that, then yes, they are allowed to defend themselves
English
@lovingsgirl @martyrmade Let’s get your views straight. Are all governments terrorists? If a country attacks you, are you allowed to defend yourself?
Do you think radical Muslims don’t pose a threat to the U.S. and
Israel?
English
Iran has been consistent and clear that any ceasefire or peace deal must include Lebanon, and any observer should assume Iran will not abandon Hezbollah after the group’s loyalty against ISIS, and now in this current war. Hez has distinguished itself as the best light infantry force in the region, and Iran’s deterrent depends on the loyalty of its regional allies. If Trump allows Israel to continue pounding Lebanon, the war will resume, simple as that. Peace is on the table. Iran and the Trump administration clearly want it. If Israel doesn’t want it, it’s not our problem, and Trump should let them fight their own war.

@nourician You're supposed to learn to find the most important things in it, because later when there is no teacher you'll have to do that with even more and longer texts, a potentially infinite amount of text
English
200-300 pages a week is fucking delusional. people have jobs and responsibilities – their time is less free than ever!!! a lot of the shit they assign as readings in the humanities is also total garbage lmfao, maybe 30-40% is worth reading
the hot dam historian (phd)@hotdamhistorian
if you can't read 200-300 pages a week of fiction or nonfiction - then learn how to before/as you pursue a degree in the humanities/social sciences. being proud of not being able to read is not a fucking flex. yes your american public school education may have failed you....
English
@ettingermentum It was because he said that so much, that Joe Rogan asked him about it, and that was when he launched into the soon-infamous thing about other dimensions. Sort of saying that even if you dont believe in Christianity you could still believe in alien superbeings that pose as humans
English
@ettingermentum He was throwing that around a lot back then, I think before his marriage ended but probably when it was on its way out. I see evidence of him saying that about Obama & Hillary, but I remembering him doing the same with Trump earlier, I need to find it ...
English
The best thing about the MAGA civil war is that none of the people being cast out can hit Mark Levin for being the OG hardline NeverTrumper in 2016 because almost none of them supported him in that primary either.
English
@Thomasdfamily05 @WonderKing82 So you're for these sorts of laws if they happen by state, but the very same laws at the federal level, you blame the same activists who got them passed in each state, for the fact that they didn't pass across all states?
English
@WonderKing82 How come we still have a federal minimum wage ? Go back to each state like NY and have your own minimum wages. It’s up to 15.50$ or 2400$ a month to start. Work a job and get yearly raises and you’ll be making a substantial income
English
We're still at minimum wage because socialists dismissed $10, $11 and $12.... if it wasn't $15, then nothing was acceptable. So the minimum wage remained stagnant for decades. It's the all or nothing mentality thats hurting real people. They don't respect incremental progress.
English
@WonderKing82 The $15 minimum wage laws all are incremental. They move toward that in graduated steps
English
@_carlbeijer @neeratanden @ryangrim She thinks he's too hard on Democrats, wants him to redirect his ire solely at Trump. As though Trump was president when all these students & academics were persecuted. As though Republicans run our universities. Voting democrats did almost all of that!
English
@neeratanden @ryangrim Are we supposed to pretend like you have been showing up at protests? What's going on here, what even is this
English
Hey @ryangrim - no one is going to jail you if you even just tweeted about Trump's support of starvation of Gazans like half as much as you tweeted two years ago.
Ryan Grim@ryangrim
The crackdown at universities included expulsions, criminal charges, the actual jailing of students for as little as an oped, new campus rules that made criticizing Israel a punishable offense, the banning even of megaphones at demonstrations…and then Neera “wonders” where the protests went. Such a mystery!
English
@neeratanden @ryangrim Neera they literally banned the students and alums from campuses, who had organized these protests. Many excellent teachers lost their jobs as well. Those who weren't US citizens can hardly work here anymore, with H1B visa fees so high
English
@ettingermentum It took longer than I expected, but with Tucker off Fox News his influence will necessarily wane like this. Reactionaries are fundamentally lazy and incurious; it doesn't matter much to them who is feeding them Fox News lines. Those who used to are quickly forgotten
English
Tucker and whatever he decides his ideology is have been convenient for GOP voters to the extent that he backs up the Dear Leader and makes them sound/feel smart. When he doesn’t prove that utility they will cast him aside. It’s all window dressing.
English
A lot of people (especially on the left) who put a lot of stock in seeing this man as a cypher for what MAGA believed and as a glimpse into its future should be re-evaluating things to say the very least.
(((Harry Enten)))@ForecasterEnten
Tucker Carlson has been in absolute free fall among the GOP. His net favorable has dropped by 47 points. Meanwhile, Trump crushes Tucker among the GOP. Trump's net favorable is 54 pts higher than Carlson's. When you up against Trump, you in the grinder to quote Good Burger.
English
@ettingermentum When he said his immortal line about "goblin vomit," he was trying to bring his anti-semitic followers into MAGA, apologizing about Trump's Jewish son-in-law and other Jewish associates. Because for years he had been telling those followers to hate Trump
English
@ettingermentum Maybe by that primary Jones had come round to Trump but for years before it he had been calling Trump literally a demon, literally a person possessed by creatures from hell intent on destroying humanity
