y'all if you get mad about women saying "choose the bear" please look up bear assault and murder statistics and then contrast with human men. It is objectively reasonable to choose the bear.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

This appears to be another example of an individual, this time an Israeli Jew, being targeted for anti-Israel advocacy. Withholding or removing someone's legal status over a constitutionally protected right to protest doesn't make Jews more safe. It erodes the protections we have long relied on.

The modern-day legal basis for the criminalization of immigrants largely rests on two anti-immigrant bills signed into law by Bill Clinton 30 years ago. The IIRIRA and the AEDPA further entrenched mass incarceration and laid the blueprint for the detention and deportation machine we have today.

Clinton-Era Laws Passed 30 Years Ago Enabled Trump’s Anti-Immigrant Agenda.
