It will seem odd to many future observers that most people in our time period just kinda lived their lives as normal, instead of constantly yelling and freaking out about politics.
If what he says is true then I suppose 100% of Jews in Israel, plus 100% of Jews elsewhere with the means to take a week off and buy the plane tickets, go to Jerusalem on Sukkot every year.
Sotomayor and Kagan also dissented, though they did not join KBJ's opinion. We can safely assume this was 6–3.
The majority did not explain its reasoning, but suggested that the government faces a "harm" by maintaining TPS—one greater than the harm to 300,000 Venezuelans who may soon be expelled.

I think the way we do atonement is to imprison anyone who got a W-2 from ICE, unless they flip and testify against their superiors and agree to publicly apologize and never again work in law enforcement.
IMO the way to square the circle is moderating on some issues, but escalate on anti-Trump stuff.
Like OK fine, Fetterman can say whatever about shutdown dramas etc, as long as he starts every interview with "Trump should be impeached, convicted, and imprisoned"
This is premeditated homicide and quite possibly piracy.
There is no even arguable legal authority for the president to commit an extrajudicial killing of these men. There is no declaration of war or other legal basis for any military action. There is no applicable legal justification or defense.
Hegseth: ‘Earlier this morning, on President Trump's orders, I directed a lethal, kinetic strike on a narco-trafficking vessel affiliated with Designated Terrorist Organizations in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility. Four male narco-terrorists aboard the vessel were killed in
This is my problem with the Matt Yglesias style "just move to the center" reasoning - in practice, many people's version of it is to spend a lot of time trashing the rest of the party.
Let the WV guy do that, but not everyone can make it their brand!
IMO there's a big lane for a "don't let other countries fuck with us" award. Covers Saudi, Israel, etc.
A lot of people whose hearts don't necessarily bleed for Palestinians, will get on board with a "we pay Netanyahu to call us anti-Semitic, fuck that" platform.
It's hard for me to say personally because my life circumstances have changed. My old friend group I see IRL much less, I see others more, total IRL socialization time probably moderately up.
This always happens because Dems respond to shutdown threats like "man this is a hard spot we're in, what to do" and Republicans say "this is great, we're going to shut down the government and blame Democrats!"
Like, they say stuff like that in on-the-record quotes to major newspapers!
I always heard that tech firms raise money via equity not debt because there isn't as many brick & mortar assets to seize in bankruptcy, so the main advantage of debt isn't there...
Agree, when I say "blue states", I don't mean that like the governor of NY turns it off, I mean that businesses in NY (maybe with encouragement from the NY state government) stop sending checks to the IRS, and who is going to enforce anything if the IRS has been shut down for awhile?
At some point if the shutdown happens for long enough, do people realize that nobody is around to enforce anything if blue states stop federal withholding?
On the bright side, the "keep up with friends" stuff that doesn't happen on social media anymore, for me happens in group chats, that didn't exist or were way less busy pre-COVID.
If I were the guy in the first few seconds with his face showing I'd be upset that my bosses just made it way more likely I'm going to go to prison for federal crimes under a new administration.
Am I going crazy or have there been Spanish language hit songs in the US for decades?
The song American Pie, the absolute most mid-20th century Americana song ever, about the deaths of 3 even older American artists - one of whom's main hit song is in Spanish!
