The US Administration has banned Americans from *adopting babies* from much of the African continent.

Adopting.

Babies.

What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?
On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.

They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

One citizen said that federal agents in Idaho pointed guns at her children, ages 6 and 8, and dragged her 14-year-old daughter out of a truck and zip-tied her.

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.

Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.

The safest thing to do would be to clear and pave a buffer of a few hundred feet between the mountains and the residential area and then rebuild the residential area into concrete mid- and high-rises whose structures are not fuel, but we’re not ready for that conversation.

Newsom wouldn’t budge on his duplex ban for the Los Angeles wildfire rebuild. So, a YIMBY group is suing him.

This is Communist China shit. Totalitarian, anti-free speech stuff that the right used to scare you about. Turns out they weren't mad about it, or that Democrats might do a tinier version of it, they were mad they couldn't wield it for their own political gain.

Hey I think the president of the United States shouldn't be a gutter racist and the acceptable response from reporters and anyone else listening should be immediate boos. Call me a radical.
here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"

It's so funny to me that a Hegseth fake tough-guy temper tantrum is probably going to skyrocket his target to the presidency
Sen. Kelly: “I take the threats from this president seriously. How many times in our country's history have you heard a president of the United States say that members of the Senate and the House should be hanged?…Those words carry a lot of weight…I'm not intimidated by Donald Trump.”
December 1, 2025 at 9:55 PM
How long before Hegseth gets "retired" + a pardon, and Trump will just start ignoring the situation and reporters just happily move on to whatever his next bullshit is?
Senator Kelly is correct.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:

KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

I agree with this. People with the below attitude actually don’t believe in American exceptionalism.
The reactionary worldview is shot through with a deep-seated disdain for America.

In this post, for example, the underlying assumption is that there is nothing special about America's institutions and laws, its civil services, its patterns of life and social norms, its historical developments.
