Part of that it can be attributed to our press.
Seldom is there any citation to the constitutional language. Take the “third-term“ debate.
The 22nd Amd. language is only 14 words and could
not be more clear:
“No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice.”

there's a very real rhetorical double standard where a random twitter comment from a leftist impacts democratic branding, but actual books sold for money detailing the fantasy of murdering liberals has 0 impact, despite being, quite, mainstream GOP

Important @voxeurop.bsky.social article on a phenomenon that still gets too little attention in Europe.
Beyond the incel: Europe in the face of masculinist terrorism
Violent attacks against women by radicalised men are multiplying on European soil. With the phenomenon only partially understood, an adequate response remains to be found.

(1) the photo on the resume thing always blows my mind
(2) when I lived in Strasbourg, a friend told me that a lot of job listings would ask for "dialectophones" (people who speak Alsacien), not because the language was necessary for the work, but because immigrants don't speak it

You're missing a couple of steps here.
No degree, no job.
And in France you're supposed to put your photo on the resume.
In France there are lots of ways to weed you out before you're ever hired.

This is the Quadro Tracker, a machine that was sold to cops and the military as a bomb/drug/contraband detector that worked by taking a picture of the thing you wanted it to find, inserting that picture into a slot, and then waving a divining rod around
![The FBI commissioned the FBI Laboratory's technicians and Sandia National Laboratories to examine the device. They found that the Quadro Tracker contained no electronics whatsoever. It was merely an empty plastic box in which the only metal parts were a couple of wires and the antenna, which were not connected to each other. The antenna was merely a transistor radio aerial.[4] Attorneys for Quadro Corp. later contended that the inductors and oscillators supposed to be inside the device "aren't the type usually thought of by electronics experts".[6] The "locator chip" was shown to be equally fake; one example put on display by the FBI contained dead ants that had been frozen and stuck onto paper with epoxy glue.[4]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wfy4l5sl22lgb2lakf6kwqvw/bafkreifppvwls7shwcthyiri7vnzj2ljarq3ug7mf4snpp3iflw3qcctne@jpeg)

This article opens with a 3-year-old forced to represent herself in court. We live in a fundamentally sick country.
There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud.
Just unspeakable assholery.

It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.
