look, you can't just punish trump when dems are in power. that might make republicans do something crazy, like stage a coup, illegally shred the federal bureaucracy, or even vstart abducting people off the street and extraditing them to torture sites all over the world

Look, I understand that for most of their history France was a menace on land and very competent at sea, but it's still very fun to meme on them

I was in a discord debate about the problems with modern SW once. Someone said Filoni's idea of a plot point is "wow, look what character just showed up" which seems pretty spot on

anyway i think the proper takeaway here is that a bare majority of the court thinks the plain words of the 14th amendment mean what they say, that four members believe there is a secret hidden meaning only recently discovered by hack lawyers

he still sees himself as American. Despite everything, EVERYTHING, this government and this nation did to him, he sees the strangers and neighbors who rallied to his side because it was RIGHT, and he chooses to believe in that America. He looks at America and sees HOME.
The Country He Still Believes In
Hernández Romero also reflected on the support he received from Americans during his detention.

His disappearance prompted an extraordinary campaign by advocates, lawyers, journalists, elected officials, and ordinary citizens who refused to let his name fade from public view. When asked what he would say to those supporters now, he expressed gratitude.

"I never imagined my name, my image, my story would be so influential in the United States," he said. "I never thought a large part of the American community would identify with the problem we were facing."

Then he offered a thought that captures the complicated relationship he still has with the country that both imprisoned and inspired him.

"By nationality, I'm Venezuelan," he said. "But in my heart, I'm American."

I don’t need to hear never-Trump or reformed or converted Republicans opinions on things, thanks. The best of them are catching up and that’s fine and all but they aren’t saying anything someone else hasn’t been already and most of them were actively part of the problem. Stop posting them.

The self-censoring nature of many of the most important facts about Trump's presidencies is a load-bearing necessity for his career. The median voter cannot and will not believe that he is as bad as he actually is. They invent a less bad version of him that they can then be persuaded to support.

Panel 1: 
A Blue Person and a Red Person shaking hands. Both look very happy. Blue person says “We’ve taken all the gay out of our movie”. The Red Person replies “Thanks Pixar. Now I can tell my kids about gay people on my own terms”

Panel 2: 
Kids’ bedroom, night. Two children sit on the floor. Red Person is wearing a hoodie and holding a torch under their chin like they’re telling a horror story. On the wall is a poster with a scary silhouette entitled “The Gays”.
Red Person: “THEY’LL COME FOR YOU IN THE NIGHT”

My English-Scots-Irish ancestors didn't die for multiculturalism; they killed for it. Killed Confederates who said shit exactly like this.
A racist tweet by Elon Musk:
For a country to survive, there has to be a common culture. Nobody dies to defend a "multicultural economic zone!" American culture, with its English-Scootts-Irish origin, is great and worth fighting for. Some may not realize it, but that's why people come here.

Some noble, inclusive, and democratic "real America" from the past is not coming to save us, nor are we doomed to forever live in an oppressive, racist, and exclusionary "real America" that has always existed. Both versions of "our" history are real. America's future is up to us.

The fact that we can produce more food for fewer man-hours than at any other time in history by literal orders of magnitude is a fucking miracle, and we should be trying to expand on the implications of that, rather than rejecting it.

I have immense respect for indigenous cultures. However, it is deeply impractical to feed 8+ billion people sustainably and reliably without high-tech industrial agriculture. Ultimately, this is just reactionary, conservative pastoralism wrapped in leftist framing.
OP: farming in traditional and indigenous methods is what will SAVE the planet this capitalistic ass lie should disgust everyone"

quoted post: Bill Gates, intends to completely re-engineer the entire global food supply, to
artificial, "non-agricultural" methods of production which do not require "vast
amounts of land" under the guise of "saving the planet".
