ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

No! Good golly! Your job as a student is to learn, not to impress faculty with your competence! Show us where you're at so we can help you. It's our job!

Back in 2024, Macron's majority is not an absolute majority, which in the French system means the government needs to stake its responsibility every time it wants to pass an important law, which is kinda not a big deal but undermines the president's political capital.

Nice to know but also what is going on? We were talking about it during work. By it I mean the shortest government term ever.

This is the thing I wish I could get through a lot of Dem politician's heads. Your colleagues in congress believe you are demonic. And they mean that *literally*.

i do not respect this belief but it is enlightening to wrap your head around the fact that a significant number of your political rivals believe you are literally in league with satan, and act with concomitant zeal and brutality

Cela pourrait faire rire si la situation n'était pas si grave.
