Please enjoy Sir Ian McLennan as he delivers a powerful speech from Shakespeare .. about immigrants on Colbert.
He tells the audience to shout, portraying the angry citizens who were mad at the immigrants.

Wonder if grokipedia is behind this
The CIA World Factbook, a reliable source of information about the countries of the world, has been publicly available since 1997. It is now going away.
Please consider supporting @wikipedia.org and @ourworldindata.org. The world desperately needs trustworthy data.

If you want to read the transcript of the February 3 hearing where Julie Le had her "this job sucks" meltdown, now you can:

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

Why would you volunteer the information, "I do not read books"?

I don't post enough about the other central pillar of my politics, aside from anti fascism: being anti car
cars are bad in almost every way, especially in cities
if you go to even large, bustling cities that are actually dense, they are quieter than US cities because you can get away from cars

Some modern Ovid is gonna name a flower after Stephen Miller, dang
Going forward, barring super specific circumstances, I'm retiring the term "white supremacy" to describe Trump & his sycophants—because there's nothing "supreme" about them.
Instead, I'll use the term "white narcissism," because they arrogantly and falsely think their skin color makes them better.

From Powerlessness to Power
We will not achieve any of our ultimate goals without exercising state power, and the most effective way to take state power is through nonviolent but confrontational resistance.

Please buy books that are coming out this year.
Doesn’t have to be mine. But there is a stellar release calendar this year especially of Black writers and it would be a shame if one of the fascist victories was people not buying those books (from the indies that are in the fight with us). #BookSky

Been telling us for a while now
In 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court guaranteed same-sex couples the fundamental right to marry. (Obergefell v. Hodges) The Court’s openly corrupt MAGA justices will reverse this ruling, leaving that right “to the states,” no later than Summer 2027.

Aaron what are you talking about? Like what the actual fuck are you talking about? “Non of this was necessary.” He said he was gonna do this. He said it over and over again. This isn’t some kind of reaction. This is the plan. This was always the plan. They told you. You didn’t believe them.
All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

Equity woulda been easier
How I know Black people know white people better than we know ourselves:
Black people said we would set our privileges on fire rather than extend them to everyone.
Now we have evidence. In 2024, white folks voted away our privilege of not being shot by the government.
