There is no constitutionally legitimate scenario in which we are being de facto governed by the White House Deputy Chief of Staff using a half-dead president as his sock puppet. We went out of our way to amend the Constitution on precisely this point.

No longer #relevant
with ageism prevalent
headed to pasture they say
I’ll throw you a bone since
before they were born
I’ve been rocking the world night and day
Like fine wine and aged cheese I’ve matured
and given up being demure
certainly no longer unsure and
I do it my own fucking way.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Kind of feel bad for the Foucault-pilled scholars who've spent years being like "you see, power imposes itself subtly on the people" and now have to contend with a federal government with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally.

Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.

I really do hate the term 'metroidbrania'. I think so do many of you. Let's nip it in the bud before it becomes something people are financially invested in.
