My great-uncle was born in the Russian Empire and wrote God Bless America
Rep. Kat Cammarck: "Today, one in six people in the US is foreign born. That quite frankly is not sustainable to maintain a culture that we are known for here in the United States."

My favorite part about this is the fact that he most definitely didn’t find out he was wearing a ladies jacket until the article came out. It’s so stupid but we all know how much he’s pissed about this undermining his masculine tough guy larp. And that makes me chuckle
By contrast, Patel favors a tactical jacket that says "FBI." Sam Stein at The Bulwark reports that Patel allegedly wouldn't disembark the plane in the aftermath of the Kirk assassination without wearing an FBI raid jacket, which he borrowed from an agent.

This second sentence is impeccable
(also, the Kingstons inspired Big Love and had to be toned down a lot to make them believable as fiction. Because fiction has to have internal coherence, reality doesn’t care.)

It's World AIDS Day. Since the Administration has decided to keep it quiet, I'd like to share my introduction to AIDS.
I grew up in Seattle. My mom remarried a man who had a brother who was a King County Sheriff's Deputy. His name was Terry and he was gay. 1/x

Probably by 16 or 17 he was doing night raids directed by CIA or SOCOM against his own citizens where civilian kill rates were far higher than the "high value targets" they were trying for. He saw and did shit most US troops would get a 100% PTSD disability rating for by the VA.

Thread on the man who allegedly shot the National Guard members in DC.
CIA funding and SOCOM training for any local militant group willing to do the dirty work the CIA or US military wants. Zero concern for how locals are recruited or their ages. This specific guy was probably 15 or 16. But CIA doesn't care. He was just a local. Trained by our best Army Rangers.

Y'all, this ain't complicated. Racism and bigotry are *never* acceptable. None ever. Anti-Indian racism and ableism should get absolutely no tolerance, especially on the left. Wtf.
I've been made aware that Kyle Kulinski/Secular Talk @kylekulinskishow.bsky.social posted an openly fascist and racist meme on Twitter against Indians, mocking a real disabled Indian man.
Absolutely abhorrent and despicable behavior for a "leftist", and the tweet is still up.
