Today’s GOP has significantly narrowed its definition of its preferred kind of immigrant to one “defined not by people’s education, potential, or ties to the country, but simply by whether they are white and Christian,” @adamserwer.bsky.social argues.

The GOP’s Message to Immigrants

Be white and Christian, or America doesn’t want you.

from a real-world standpoint it's obvious untenable and unacceptable and incredibly obscenely immoral -- but also from a theoretical pov, from a Weberian pov, what the fuck is the US government if this one guy, who is not elected and not in the gov't, is making these kinds of decisions?

I'm just gonna bookmark this for future reference when Dem pundits complain about how the party has trouble communicating its message to voters. The reason you keep running into trouble with your branding isn't campus radicals. The reason is that your opponents purchased all the media outlets.

Screenshot of an Instagram post included in the story.

Underneath is the following text: Paigelynne Gonyea posted the name of the ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis in January. She said the post triggered a visit and a warning from federal agents claiming she "doxxed" the agent.

I warmly welcome the sagacious gesture and extend deepest gratitude to the leadership of both the countries and invite their delegations to Islamabad on Friday, 10th April 2026, to further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes.
Both parties have displayed remarkable wisdom and understanding and have remained constructively engaged in furthering the cause of peace and stability. We earnestly hope, that the

In the age of unreliable info, traders are no longer trading on direct information, but on second-order factors. I call this a "second-order FOMO rally". Most don't actually believe the news, but they think OTHERS might believe it. And so to not miss out on gains, they act as though it's true.

Trump's obvious market manipulation is probably more than just another ploy to enrich himself and his friends (which it undoubtedly ALSO is, BTW). It's also almost certainly a manipulation in advance of an escalation (probably Kharg Island invasion).
