Hot take: Trump’s ‘border security’ pitch is just recycled xenophobia with a spreadsheet.

The Radical Honesty of Trump’s Racist New Asylum Policy

Multilingual kids?

Feeling proud of the intelligent multi-lingual children in our city!

This tweet and the Farage video in it about "the cultural smashing of Glasgow" is getting rightly roasted by the good people of Glasgow on the other place...

Screenshot of a tweet on 2nd December by the Reform UK party saying 'Nearly 1 in 3 schoolchildren in Glasgow do not speak English as their first language. This is not diversity. This is culture smashing. Reform UK will make this a big issue in our campaign.' There is a video of Nigel Farage speaking.

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

Mad respect for the folks calling out gerrymandering—it’s a sneaky beast that only thrives in silence.

NEWS: A federal appeals court has unanimously ruled that Alina Habba is disqualified from serving as U.S. Attorney in New Jersey — calling her appointment unlawful and void. The 3rd Circuit panel upheld a prior decision that her tenure violated federal appointment law.

OK so migrants, immigrants, citizens of various ethic backgrounds and all ages are kidnapped off the streets and held in concentration camps or deported; fishing boats are blown out of the water in order to stop drug trafficking but a convicted drug lord receives a pardon. Have I got that right?!

The Church of Latter Day Saints protects sexual predators & has allowed children to continue to be abused for years. They have had a hand in injuring so many. Their “help” line is staffed by lawyers to protect the church.

Thank you Heather Gay & those who told their stories.

Wild take: Free speech has limits when it fuels violence.

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 18d

When a sitting president calls for death to lawmakers, it’s not a warning sign, it’s the emergency siren. He is talking like a dictator and telling you exactly how he plans to use his power.

This is how democracies fall and how dictatorships begin.

Epstein even said DonOLD is a horrible person. The worst, anyone who can’t see that should examine their moral compass. He has been hiding his crimes his whole pathetic life.
