As someone who grew up around White Expats in poor non-white countries, I can say with full confidence that these are among the most small-minded people you will ever meet
when white americans move abroad they're expats, not immigrants, and they get real mad when you compare those two very different experiences

I've been watching the sun rise lately.

Life is precious. Every moment an extraordinary miracle of pure chance. That's my belief anyway. In a way, believing there was never any intentional design behind it at all makes it feel all the more Holy.

And it makes senseless harm seem even more depraved.

I will reimburse the travel costs*, provide accommodation and 3 meals a day to anyone who wants a holiday in Scotland this Summer.

You have to help me strip out a building for a few hours each day you stay. That's the deal. All other time is yours to explore this beautiful corner of Scotland.

white americans want free access to the schengen zone but are very much happy to continue keeping africans out. they want to expand the garden for others already in the garden while keeping it locked away from those in the jungle.

"When one fed attempted to blow off the crowd by visibly watching basketball highlights on his phone, a protester shouted “You’re watching ads, you broke bitch! Kill yourself!” The federal agent returned to his room shortly thereafter."

I will not give a shit about 'morale' among the gestapo until they are quitting in droves and also doing the other thing they should do.

the onion's satire of this - democrat politicians calling not for ICE to stop murdering, but merely to sign the right paperwork while murdering - is right on the money & totally justified

"as it stands" are weasel words here. the moderate democrat position is that ICE needs to be abolished, when the democrat establishment leaders say "ICE as it stands needs to go" they mean they want some meaningless ICE reforms in exchange for sending them billions in funding
Everyone from Gallego to Pritzker is screaming that ICE as it stands needs to go, then Bluesky got mad that they weren’t at protests, then Klobuchar got attacked *for attending a protest* instead of Doing Something, the Senate Dems Did Something and a major tactical win and it gets branded a cave.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

The cool thing about posting about entirely arbitrary generational divides with almost no statistical support, is that everyone thinks they, and they alone, exist in their own little special micro-generation.
