Capricious, nonsensical cruelty instigated by a President with a failing brain
South Floridians from Cuba, Haiti and Venezuela expecting to become U.S. citizens this week learned instead that their naturalization ceremonies had been canceled after the Trump administration issued a sweeping directive aimed at halting immigration from so-called high-risk countries.
South Florida immigrants on cusp of citizenship told to wait as DHS changes policy
The cancellations, confirmed by multiple immigration attorneys, came after the Trump administration paused immigration from 19 nations and froze all asylum claims.

Losers also get to write history, and often teach their own history.
Propaganda is relative. While one might beg the numbers be cast in ratios, that just opens debate and rabbit holes. It is much easier, and more realistic to admit that victors write the history.

The U.S. has such a toxic relationship with alcohol. Honestly, if this is the position we are going to take we should change our laws and make teaching people how to drink safely an actual thing.
To a pretty significant degree, college educated people do not care about underage drinking *in a collegiate context.*
And even on the high-school level it is true to a significant extent.
But it's also very don't get caught, don't tell the Baptists, and don't be a minority.

these are all terrible options, and if we lived in a functioning democracy with working regulators we'd think nothing of putting a blanket end to pointless media consolidation
these deals are always terrible for product quality, consumers, art and labor, but this is always downplayed in coverage.

The reactionary mind is incredibly neurotic about both being stolen from and being laughed at and that's part of why they're so consumed with anxieties about welfare cheats, fake refugees, fake disabled kids, etc. It's like an asexual version of their cucking anxiety.
