When a single incident triggers nationwide vetting, migration freezes, and new powers overnight, that’s not security.
It’s the state testing how fast it can redraw the rules.
The next move won’t be about borders.
It’ll be about who counts as “inside” the country at all.

I believe that the debt should be calculated to date including interest. That should become principal that is *permanently* placed on the national debt of every slave owning colonial nation and the annual interest should be paid into a trust for the descendants of slaves and to the colonies.

I do think it's very funny that you can accurately nail down someone's age by whether or not they're excited for Half-Life 3.
If you are excited for Half-Life 3, please remember to moisturize, stretch, and drink lots of water. You're old now, and the kids don't know or care about Half-Life.
