@caucaleb Because Cognizant certainly couldn't find an American in America to be an executive.

@dietrichBonh @Justin33Beck @billybinion If the amendment didnt exist then I wouldnt be a legal citizen even though my parents and my grandparents were born here because my Polish family came here in 1910. The only legitimate people would be the citizens who founded the 13 colonies and they are all dead.

The responses to this are a good reminder that a lot of anti-immigrant keyboard warriors have no idea what the law says. “He had 20 years to become a citizen!” No. Thanks to country of origin caps, the wait time for Indians can be over *100 years*—just to get a green card. Many die waiting in line. We tell people seeking the American Dream to come here “the right way,” and then we punish them for doing so.
Sam Peak@SpeakSamuel

This H-1B worker has lived in the US for nearly 20 years and built a family here. His mom was dying in India. To visit her, he would need to wait months to book a consular appointment--with the soonest one available likely being scheduled one year out. He made the difficult choice of not visiting his dying mom because leaving without an appointment would mean separation from his children, job, and his other obligations. Much of the commentary around immigration focuses on how such bureaucratic burdens undermine immigrants’ ability to contribute and innovate. But we must remember that this red tape also prevents these people from being fully engaged with their own lives and meaningfully present in the lives of others. This matters too, and these seemingly non-economic problems will eventually translate into economic costs. If America is no longer a place where people feel empowered to be the best versions of themselves as they celebrate, struggle, and grieve, it ceases not just being the land of opportunity, but also the land of dignity and purpose. linkedin.com/posts/gautam-d…

Hey folks. As a result of the volatility since January, we’re doing a Ranked reset for Apex players (Master+) in NA, EUW, EUNE, BR, LAN, and TR. Affected players will have their visible rank and MMR reset to Master 0LP when Patch 26.9 goes live. Learn more in the blog: riot.com/48SzBgH

@DragomiirLOL @CobaltJack @LeagueOfLegends With your logic then. There is no inflation in masters+. People who are there deserve to be there and have gotten good compared to years past. You just want to reset hard work from people who have climbed in lp this season. Everyone who is in masters currently will remain there.

@CobaltJack @LeagueOfLegends Majority of my friends in low elo (gold-plat) have full time jobs, dedicated relationships, families and kids etc. You’re seriously going to tell me “catering” to them means resetting them to fucking silver? If you care about competitive gameplay, then get fucking good xd?

@ProleBlues @cowboylikeoli @ArchysLife So Marx himself? He was an academic who did the same thing. Academia is just coming up with conclusions a millionth way for a millionth time. You have an opinion and so do others. Your professor is obviously way smarter than you if you dont understand academia.

@FroschST @PopBase Bingo! sometimes all it needs is some tweaking. The issue was therapists could lose their jobs over things like this, and thinking about it from all perspectives, it hinders them from actually helping their patients. The less fear-mongering with term usage... the better.

@Neo_Xhu @PopBase Yea I think the wording on this tweet really does suck and is very vague. Its ok for children to be curious and still not go the whole way thats how we grow. Asking questions is normal and healthy. Glad they made the right decision and hope colorado is able to rewrite the bill.

@PopBase A healthy conversation goes a long way, and I get the basis of fear, especially with the notoriety of conversion therapy as it is, but we NEED someone to talk to about sexual orientation, and sex in general because it could hinder development.

@tafadzwamarere @RaymondBerengar @TheLaurenChen Im also giving context to things. I want the US to continue to share its knowledge and resources with the world including the 54 African nations. I have friends from Liberia and have met many people from the great nations of Nigeria, Ethiopia, and others. The people are lovely.

@tafadzwamarere @RaymondBerengar @TheLaurenChen Also, I think people dont understand the amount of money we give is insurmountable to our GDP and other spending so cutting it does nothing but hurt these poorer nations who if given the chance to succeed would offer more to the US in the long term.

That aid is given to protect American people from whatever medical disaster is happening in the poorer countries. Thought everyone learnt during Covid. If you don’t handle it at source it will eventually get to US. That’s why they give the aid not necessarily to just save lives. If you want a fair exchange then fine. Stop pretending like you’re giving charity and the condescension that comes with that and say “we would also like something from you on quid pro quo basis”. At least be honest. We aren’t stupid you know

@tafadzwamarere @RaymondBerengar @TheLaurenChen I don't agree with these people but giving COVID as an example is not right. I would say Ebola is a better example. COVID came from China which is a rich nation. China did not do what they should have to stop the spread at its source not the US or poorer nations.

@MrCrash2533 @NobletStrength @The__Unyielding Did you know US food standards are ranked in the top 10 every year? I believe the US is ranked 3rd most of the time. Meaning we have better food quality than 192 countries. This means that our food is better than you in terms of quality. We also ban foods you should ban as well.

Europeans post this picture multiple times a day because they think this is an American food staple and Americans are always confused because they've literally never heard of canned whole chicken until they learned about it through Europeans claiming we eat it regularly.
Daractenus@Daractenus

In an attempt to explain just why it is that some 77 million Americans voted for the dumbest man alive to be their president for a second time, I’m absolutely delighted to present you with the expanded list of US food that you cannot legally sell in Europe!🧵

@kbo_coyote @GEEGdotcom @isaiahrmartin They cannot which this is not. What he can do is small military exercises like bombings or some boots on the ground as in Venezuela. We are not in a war so the president is not doing anything illegal so no impeachment will happen.

@FroschST @GEEGdotcom @isaiahrmartin That's the whole point. The President cannot unilaterally involve the US in a war. The POTUS also must be more concise and strategic with his choice of words. It is significant in his position that he be thoughtful and less impulsive.

@SangheiliSoviet @21stcentury_ML @lolkms247 Bro what? The Taiwanese did not genocide the natives lol unless you are counting the Han Chinese who lived there prior to Taiwan existing or the Japanese or Dutch. Formosa was under occupation and the people were killed long before Taiwan even existed this take sucks.

@philipmathews51 @JamesSurowiecki But this is not against the constitution? What the president did whether you like it or not is well within his power. We are not in a war as congress has not declared war under article 2 of the constitution. Most past presidents have used this power including the last 4.

@JamesSurowiecki She's referring to a compound subject. "We" is not correct. And Congress didn't get to exercise it's constitutional responsibility in the matter. Or do you support a flouting of the constitution when it suits your desired outcome?

@kbo_coyote @GEEGdotcom @isaiahrmartin Thats not how the constitution works. We are not in a war even if he uses the word. Only congress can declare war. Secondly, we went into Iraq and declared war on Saddam in 2003 through a tv broadcast. Third a president can bomb countries without congress. Obama did it as well.

It is unconstitutional for a president to unilaterally declare war. It is incumbent on the POTUS to inform Congress of his actions pertaining to war before he takes them. It is deceptive for a POTUS of the US to declare war in the middle of the night using a social media forum he owns and operates, and not use channels to inform all of the citizens. The POTUS continues to take actions contrary to the Constitution of the US, doing so without consequence. Time is up.
