is there any empirical evidence for immigration actually having adverse effects on a society other than as a result of anti-immigrant sentiment?
like, for real, has *any* of the supposed downsides, from cultural change to political collapse to economic unfairness, ever actually manifested?

I think Ms. Bondi is increasingly aware that if she doesn’t get a pardon she will die in prison, and her pardon depends entirely on the goodwill of someone who’s entirely capable of screaming “why should I do anything for you when you wouldn’t put Peekaboo James in jail like I told you to”

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

if someone proposes that politics be reduced to violence, you rebut them with a bullet
So "liberal democracy" can't win the political argument against fascism and has to resort to violence, is that what you're saying?
If that's the case, it strikes me that, perhaps, liberal democracy isn't such a good way to organise society?

Honestly, I think Obama might be a top five president in hindsight simply because it turned out this country was a shithole powderkeg and he managed to ride the tiger for eight years somehow. Last Roman type of thing.
I think Obama was vindicated in the long run because the ACA endured against all odds while Bidenomics was rejected in favor of fascism by the electorate.

in terms of passing policies that improve peoples lives particularly at the bottom of the SES ladder, Joe Biden was the best president of my lifetime

Quite literally, there are about a dozen scandals under Trump II that are worse than the worst scandals in all of 🇺🇸 political history. Add in the ongoing familial/personal monetization of the presidency, the violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations with 🇨🇦 & 🇬🇱/🇩🇰, & the murder on the high seas.
Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:
1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens
2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar
3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

I am truly not sure to do with the fact that Jeffries can demand express statutory authorization for states to prosecute ICE agents and because some random website didn’t put that in the headline nobody knows about it, and in fact get mad at him for not demanding the thing he is actively demanding

Honestly it's one of the most underrated features of the coordinated conservative propaganda machine: they can do stuff like make gay marriage the number one social issue in American politics for 10 years in a row, then, as soon as the polling turns, completely abandon it, and the base just forgets!
I know the phrase “Someday everyone will have been against this,” but ngl I didn’t expect to see this kind of reversal from the chuddiest little freaks happening so quickly.
