For way too many, liberty is just being ruled over by someone powerful from your own ethnicity. It’s what a lot of them have settled for.

Ayn Rand rejected prohibitions on immigration, not only due to her personal context, but on principle.

It's incredible how effective transphobia is as a litmus test for SO many issues. Every time I find a new pro-surveillance tech stooge, they're transphobic. I think people need to understand how tightly the belief that the internet is turning everyone trans is bound up w mass surveillance efforts
Jonathan Haidt Promoted a Fringe Theory on Trans Youth — Assigned
The author of “The Anxiety Generation” told Margaret Hoover for PBS that young people become trans due to peer contagion effects. There is no evidence for this claim.

Trump has reclaimed America's traditional sphere of influence in the Western Hemisphere, but that does not mean he's willing to grant China or Russia spheres in their own regions.
Trump is asserting American power globally, not pulling the United States back to its own hemisphere.

IT IS TIME TO ATTACK. Open borders is the only reasonable and ethical response to the depravity of ICE, and no time has been better.
& it turns out trying to salvage a 'reasonable' version of your opponents' utterly depraved argument isn't a great strategy

Less than a decade ago, “Abolish ICE” was a fringe position. Now it’s the plurality viewpoint. The reason is clear: The more people see what ICE is and does, the more they don’t like it. New at @reason.com reason.com/2026/01/20/a...
As ICE cracks down harder, support for abolishing ICE surges
ICE’s aggressive tactics and viral raid footage are fueling a sharp shift in public opinion against the agency.

“Some people call me a god. The best god. I don’t know if I would say that. Although I have done a lot of huge incredible things. Even more things than God when you think about it. God isn’t so great actually. I like people who don’t get killed.”
At what point does Trump get his cabinet to declare him publicly a god?

In the 1960s, the right called MLK a race-baiting communist who hated white people. After he was killed, they spent a few decades pointing to him as a model of protesting "the right way." Now, they're moving back to branding him as a race-baiting communist who hated white people.
