one of the most important things you should learn from arguing online and other places is that the way to be open-minded is not to be more accepting of the outgroup -- rather you should be more willing to consider that the ingroup are clowns

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."

Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

As always: the problem with bad behavior is not that people are talking about it, it's because the bad behavior is happening. You have abstracted it too far when you forget that actual people are getting actually hurt in the immediate and direct sense.

The thing that makes ICE a rogue agency isn't just that it hurts and kills people, it's that when it hurts and kills people it always circles the wagons and tries to hide the evidence. A culture of zero rules and zero accountability.

The reason not to triangulate against trans people isn't that it's bad politics (although I believe it is) or unnecessary (although I believe it is). It's because YOU MUST NOT ABANDON THE VULNERABLE TO DEPRAVED PEOPLE WHO WILL DO THEM HARM. If we will, what's the point of anything else we do?

A map of US states where trans rights are protected is just a map of US states where Democrats are in control. But saying that doesn’t keep people terrified and paying for newsletter subscriptions to learn more, so certain influencers have to lie about it.
