Democrats will give you some teary-eyed speech about the rule of law before restricting basic legal rights to people who agree with them on whatever the top Democrat issue is at the moment.
Couple years ago, this loyalty test would have been about men in dresses.

Colorado is now requiring lawyers in the State, as a condition of logging into its court e-filing system, to promise not to cooperate with federal authorities in enforcing federal immigration law. Please understand: - I do not practice immigration law. - I do not practice criminal law. - Nothing about my civil practice has anything to do with this. And yet because I cannot log into the State's official e-filing system without saluting The Resistance, I now cannot represent my clients, file lawsuits, access cases, file documents in existing cases, etc. If I click "Decline," it kicks me out of the system. I must click "Accept" to access the system and continue representing my civil clients -- again, in cases that have absolutely nothing to do with immigration law or policy. I've read SB 25-276 (the law referred to below). It does not regulate me as a private attorney or any of the clients I represent in civil matters. This is outrageous draconian overreach. I have ethical obligations to my clients to represent them competently. My existing cases have running deadlines that I must attend to. Judges issue orders in my cases that I must follow. If I don't click "Accept" in order to access the State's e-filing system, I will harm my clients, torpedo my practice, and probably commit malpractice. So, I have no choice. I'm clicking "Accept" under protest.

@CVernonSmith @Anon47281938474 @diegrueneKatze I’m sorry, I thought I made it clear that I wasn’t questioning your *Ukrainian* patriotism.
English
@i_d_smith @Anon47281938474 @diegrueneKatze Standing up to foreign tyrants, Russia specifically, and with our allies, is as American as apple pie, actually.
It's a patriotism thing. You wouldn't understand.

I confess: the mainstreaming of hate aimed at people who adopt children of another race, by so-called "Christians," has had a radicalizing effect on me.
Anyone who tolerates people who do this, let alone actively participate in it, is not fit for a pulpit, nor to govern. Period.

The compassion of this woman is well suited for the vocation of motherhood. But this is not who you want determining whether birthright citizenship should be legal. A woman as a mother is a precious gift, but a woman as a civil magistrate is the death of the nation.

@KSTP I support a 100% income tax on Walz voters.
I mean, they’re basically stealing that money from people who only want to lear.

New research suggests falling downtown Minneapolis commercial property values are part of a long-term trend that could continue shifting more tax burden onto homeowners. kstp.com/kstp-news/top-…

If I were Trump, I would just ignore this judge and keep building. The judiciary is running out of legitimacy and is incapable of enforcing its own orders.

@CVernonSmith @Anon47281938474 @diegrueneKatze It’s more American than the only flag you care enough about to display on your profile.

@Anon47281938474 @diegrueneKatze It is not American. It's Confederate.
And yeah, Confederates are traitors.

@AlexNowrasteh This is, in fact, a pattern.
But it’s a pattern that biases datasets in a way that helps you attain your political aims, so you dismiss it without justification.
You’re going to ignore me because you hate that some random guy online is better at this than you are. Sad!

Focusing on individual stories is not a good way to understand patterns. This young man has a mental model designed to deceive himself. What's the point of having wonderful sensory organs and a mind if all you do is misuse them in order to misunderstand the world?
Oilfield Rando@Oilfield_Rando
Wow @AlexNowrasteh something like this sure might contaminate Cato Institute data that asserts lower incarceration rates among illegal immigrants, huh?

@AlexNowrasteh @UsingLyft I don’t think you want to talk about problems with datasets.

Wow @AlexNowrasteh something like this sure might contaminate Cato Institute data that asserts lower incarceration rates among illegal immigrants, huh?
English
@UsingLyft I don't think it's very useful. Legal immigrants also include American citizens who can't be deported. Even if the data were available in the way you want it (it's not), it would introduce different problems that make it incomparable to other datasets.
English
That's one of many potential explanations for why immigrants have a lower incarceration rate. It's not a good reason to think that their incarceration rate is actually higher.
Pay Roll Manager Here@UsingLyft
I just scanned this paper and I don’t think I saw anything about recidivism for illegals for being restricted by deportation. If a crime conviction makes illegals get deported with any consistency, then shouldn’t the appropriate comparison be “illegals vs native born w 0 priors?”

Perhaps my favorite genre of crime.
None of these morons spent a damn second thinking about how they’d get away with it.
Make him sign a contract at gunpoint! 100% legally binding and irrevocable. Masterful gambit, gentlemen.

@BrigadierKetch @GPT_Neanderthal Believed their own propaganda about American soldiers award.
Big misstep by the NVA.
English
John McCain’s book recounts how the NVA guards would play propaganda news every morning and once they had a clip of a libtard being like “America can put men on the moon but they can’t give me gibs” and the POWs broke out cheering bc that’s how they learned about the moon landing

It’s very boomery to call this “communism”, but if you wanted to transfer ownership of these properties to political allies in the NGO sector, this is one of the more feasible options.
Free up the properties so someone getting government grants can pay the rent instead.
The Maine Wire@TheMaineWire
The City of Portland is now moving to fine property owners for vacant downtown storefronts, shifting the burden onto business and building owners. City officials are framing the ordinance as a revitalization effort, but the policy lands more like punishment than partnership. It also belies a more uncomfortable question: what has City Hall actually done to make Portland a place where businesses want to open, invest, and stay?

i took the test ‘Am I German or Autistic?’ and this is my result.
i’ll link the test in a reply

@sadreturns Huh, wouldn’t have guessed. Especially because the last answer I’d pick for each question usually looked like the most stereotypically German one.

Pakistani at gym blasting weird music from his phone. I confront. He says he "feels awkward & doesn't like the silence." I try to explain the concept of headphones. "But I don't have headphones."
Why are they like this?
