No Party Is Standing Up for Immigrants Right Now
  • I just can't with this shit any more. For all intents and purposes, we have two parties in this country. One of them incites idiots to kill immigrants and gleefully admits doing so. The other party knows that immigrants are people. And somehow the headline ends up being ... this slop.

    Because Democrats are apparently not enthusiastic enough about immigrants? Or maybe just because the media is vile and only cares about the media. Either way, this is awful reporting. Equating Republicans with Democrats on immigration in any way is astoundingly dishonest and the article fails in every possible way to justify the headline.

  • Telegram boss Pavel Durov banned from leaving France in criminal probe
  • France is a Schengen country. There are no meaningful border controls. He could literally take public transport all the way back to the Russian border without ever pulling his ID out of his pocket. And he probably will.

  • Sovcit has tried everything.
  • What they probably mean is they're trying to get a passport for their child and the passport office has told them that that's no problem at all. In fact, all they need is a copy of the child's birth certificate.

  • Biden to push for Supreme Court ethics reform, term limits and amendment to overturn immunity ruling, sources say
  • Just pack the goddamn court. There's ONE conservative justice on the Supreme Court who was appointed by a president who came to power having received more votes than his opponent, and that's Clarence Thomas, the man whose loyalties can be bought with a luxury vacation and whose wife aided and abetted insurrectionist traitors.

    The ENTIRE conservative wing of the Supreme Court is illegitimate. Every single one of them. And you know what? Thanks to the GOP, it only takes 50 votes to approve a supreme court justice. It used to be sixty, but they changed the rules so they could more conveniently destroy America.

  • Thomas has accepted $4M in gifts during career: Watchdog
  • What does it mean when the highest court in your ostensible democracy is this obviously compromised?

    I mean morally it's obvious. Their judgements are invalid. Useless. Feel free to ignore anything they say if you can get away with it. But unless we're down for anarchy, what means do we have to deal with this? Legally the president can pack the court. So long as he can get the senate to go along. But he doesn't seem to want to, and there are no viable alternatives to the president we have. Not yet, anyway.

    So here we are. A 'democracy' with a supreme court that's openly compromised, if not outright corrupt. Nobody's running on a 'maybe the supreme court shouldn't be filled with 18th century ideologues and grifters' platform. Nobody's talking about upside down flags and RVs on the major networks.

    So what do?

    Some dystopian doublespeak from Micky D

    A little light reading while you wait 20 minutes for your McFood because nobody wants to waste their life being abused for hunger wages by a literal clown.

    This was hung up in plain sight next to the registers at the McDonald's along I-80 in Winnemucca NV. Name and shame
