🚨NEW by me: New ICE facility for unaccompanied migrant kids is about to open in Louisiana. While ICE is sanitizing optics, calling it the "Alexandria Family Staging Center," lawmakers and child advocates are raising the roof warning of child trafficking risks. www.thequeenzone.com/new-ice-faci...

I was canvassing local businesses for a revitalization project not 2 hours ago, and the owners were still livid about ICE and telling me how much revenue they lost donating to mutual aid rent funds for immigrants in hiding. Every single business in Minneapolis has a sign like this, still:

It might seem that the existence of a Fetterman is an indictment of the senatorial system’s design but in fairness the Founders would have expected somebody who behaved like this to get killed in a duel by an irate constituent.

either your relative thinks you're a gullible idiot or they are themselves a gullible idiot, as like fifteen minutes walking the streets of Beijing and seeing the homeless people would make clear.

Here’s what’s up over here in England. There are people who save other people at sea. They train in their spare time. They brave rough seas in freezing weather. They save many lives every year. They die sometimes. They aren’t paid. A right-wing “patriotic army” is physically confronting them.

Sure, and "Anti-GMO hysteria is really just a proxy for people being upset about the ag industry" is a position someone could have argued for a couple years, but no, it turned out that people just caught brain worms, yet again.

It's very bad that we've developed a new dominant breed of debate pervert who spends their entire lifecycle insisting nobody will let them say the things they've said a thousand times and insisting everyone has to have the same debate with them every single time

Some brief thoughts: 1. Discourse got polarised fast, not helped by some scientists (often not directly involved in response) speculating on how they'd run country 2. Media played role here – I gave up on interviews for some outlets, because would always start "is govt is getting everything wrong?"

Isn't it more accurate to say it's what's on the phones--social media apps--rather than the phones themselves? I normally access social media from a laptop, rarely from a phone, so perhaps I'm an outlier.
