It is especially revealing of Miller's obliviousness that he is making a "of course you'd refuse to house the stranger" claim *the week of Christmas*, which for everything else about it is fundamentally a story of hospitality denied then recieved. All nativism and no nativity for thise ghoul.

Nah its a reasonable thing to point out that a man who's going to get every single therapy possible (including some highly experimental ones) because of his status and wealth voted multiple times to prevent anyone who isn't in his boat from receiving the same treatment.
It may be crass for me to do this, but a reminder that Ben Sasse, who was supposedly one of the "decent" Republicans, voted to repeal the ACA multiple times while in the U.S. Senate.
Having said that, this is a horrible thing to happen to anyone.

joe biden treating these people with complete disdain was one of his genuinely good acts
There is an entire English language available to describe Pete Hegseth’s tenure at the Pentagon
- celebrating massacres like Wounded Knee, honoring Secession, purging women & black officers, military threats to NATO allies, extrajudicial killing in the Caribbean and Pacific -

“The Supreme Court decided not to have a Christmas party for 12 straight years because the justices couldn’t agree on whether to invite the Court’s Black employees” is about as tidy an encapsulation of the Supreme Court’s whole deal as I can think of
The Alarmingly Racist History of the Supreme Court’s Canceled 1947 Christmas Party
The Court held its first-ever office Christmas party in 1946. The following year, the clerks suggested inviting Black employees. It did not go over well.

Interesting to consider that if you were to go and deface the Kennedy center by removing Trump’s name, you’d be arrested and charged with a crime, but your act would be no more unlawful than what they’re doing right now.

Senator Durbin has had this explained to him multiple times. Getting rid of 230 doesn't help this, but will make it worse. It will make it impossible for smaller sites to exist (like this one) and will give MORE POWER to companies like Meta and X.
Why would Durbin want to do that?
