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 glad you said "literature", not just "books". Yes, we're going to face an epistemic crisis of massive proportions when we can't read complex texts. But we're also going to turn into a society of unempathic sociopaths when we stop reading fiction.

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.

Democrats can learn a few lessons here: 1) Look at the hand-in-glove coordination that clearly has gone on here. They found their attack angle, and then spread the word to their friendly media to coordinate spreading the message. 2) The fact that they completely faceplanted means nothing. It's

A friend pointed out to me that people's "social scripts" used to come from fiction (novels, TV, movies) written by professional storytellers, and now they come from reality TV and short form video content, where the words largely come from attention-seeking amateurs. It has made us worse.

It's worse than that. They see doing this - or something akin to this - as a primary aspect of their job, required to remain in office. And they're not completely wrong.

There aren't other examples. The only ones that come close are Otomendi and Caicedo, who had straight-reds from qualifiers deferred past the actual WC as part of a blanket amnesty that applied to all teams and all players. But that was a general amnesty, not a one-off exception for one player.
