Immigrants are a social good, anti-immigrant propaganda is basically all lies, and any approach to the "problem" that doesn't start form those two points is worthless

Those Army Men socks would be charming if he was in charge of a peacetime military, like 'let's not take this too seriously', but with his rhetoric it says to me 'your lives are my playthings'.
Fascism craves the appearance of strength above all else, including strength. Hegseth is going to make the US Military into the Cybertruck of war.
Huh. Trump was in DC when he gave the orders, right? Could the DC district attorney bring charges?
When people say “I want my kids to have things I never had the opportunity to have,” I did not realize they meant measles.
Also drinking.
Oh that's what the Oguri plushies are a reference to. Yeah I could see that being a craze, that's adorable AF.
What adorable bits of Victoriana. I'm sure a bit of whimsy made sewing more fun.
Looks cozy.
Apt name.
I hear they improved patient comfort because people were afraid of them, so they just didn't get them. Kind of like dentistry.
For example there's a minor controversy about the Postal Service updating their trucks to a different design, or how there's all this dragging of feet about modernizing US currency with colored bills because 'it looks like Monopoly money'.
Part of it is that there's only a handful of manufacturers of school busses who rarely update their models, partly because they're owned by poor school districts that don't have the funds to modernize, and partly because Americans get weirdly conservative about the aesthetics of institutional stuff.
Big Nier fan.
RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.
An excellent likeness! Gouache is fun.
The entire history of slave-owning America was a series of slave rebellions. The US was putting them down constantly, like every other slave-owning power in the history of the world.
F150s are garish too dude. This is not the era of quiet dignity.
the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.
Please love your pets and tell them what they mean to you. Loving pets is exercise for your soul.
"Politics ability" clearly measured by using the Harvard Political Thought Ability Scale made in 2011 by Dr. Michael McDoesn'tExist.
Clearly we need to work harder to get back on their shit-list.
Trump takes everything from America. Is nothing sacred?
I have heard of authors who use subtext and they are all cowards.
Hell yeah.
She drinks tea out of a hip flask. I think she's the most convincingly teenaged Uma of them all.
I'm surprised they feel the need to cover this up or give detainees any medical attention at all.
Oh, they get that. Their use case is that the receiver is also having AI read it. No actual communication necessary.
Rightly. And the fact the AI hallucinated that promise is all the more reason to hold him to it.
When he says 'refuse to work' he means 'is disabled'.
It is not understood thoroughly enough or widely enough that "be the absolute best person in the world at your job" is a less reliable and slower way to make money than "have some money already" is.
That's some breathing room.
Lemme guess, none of these guys estimates includes ecological damage from constructing and running absurdly large data centers.
Justifications are for people who answer to someone.
"we just give it all our data and it magically makes us richer", but in PowerPoint form.
Buying a shitty product doesn't make you an oppressed class. It makes you a rube.
When I read it it was instantly credible because that is exactly the kind of goofy weird shit Trump would think was subtle and clever. Dude has always been a weird creep with a fixation on show business.
Literally the only good thing about it was that it looked like a lava lamp. Sadly it was disgustingly sweet and also incredibly viscous. There's a reason it never had a revival despite soda companies being huge on nostalgia.
The company seems... unfocused. It's a cyber-cafe and e-sports venue that also offers night classes in various tech subjects, and they also offer IT services and T-shirt printing. So exactly the kind of business you imagine when you see that vehicle.
If they don't like it they can die angry.
Folie à deux, but single-serving.
I have to wonder what specifically is in the Epstein files that Trump is so afraid of being revealed. Dude's publicly admitted to some horrific stuff and other stuff leaked and nobody cared, but he's abjectly terrified of something in there.
Quit your job, change your name, move to some small town in the middle of nowhere and seek a more honorable career in retail.
Winter clothes could be a serious problem. Not having winter gear can be life-threatening in a lot of the country, and freak weather patterns are annoyingly common.
A good chunk of that is just good old fashioned trauma.
Trauma Team was great too, apart from the endoscope missions.
Human civilization has had horse girls since the dawn of time instead of horses. The only major historical change this seems to have caused is the existence of the Kingdom of Ireland. Horsegirls are literally the reincarnated spirits of horses. Highways have designated horsegirl lanes.
Vibe Engineering, but yeah. There's so much about the Titan's construction that no engineer signed off on that the only explanation for it is "Stockton eyeballed it and said it's good enough."
The bit where we find out how Cranky died was super dark, but spoilers: he deserved worse.
A consequence that was easily foreseeable for someone with object permanence and theory of mind.
Greater Los Angeles has a population of 18.8 million. In 2001 Afghanistan had a population of 20 million. I don't know if it's even possible for the US military to fully occupy LA.
We absolutely need to do that. It's an unconscionable mess.
Like, the gold standard for prescribing psych meds is 'hey, try this and see if that helps.' That's barely medicine!

Is there any evidence he's alive at all?
How dare peasants question a lady of rank such as her?
He wanted to fight in Iraq or Afghanistan, the two stupidest bullshit wars in the history of the US? Those shitty wars?
That's bleak.
Aloha~ Ichiban Kasuga desu~ #Yakuza #LikeADragon
It's heartwarming to see River Side Casino giving people a second chance at an honest life.
I tend to write sentences like this, but that's what first drafts are for.
When David Lynch wrote all those films about idyllic American towns with an unsavory underbelly of crime and immorality, he was writing about growing up in Boise in the 60's. www.boisestatepublicradio.org/news/2025-01...
Now if we just get a Waffle House we'll officially be part of the South.
You can get a brand new laptop from Walmart for less than 200 bucks. Laptops are cheap tools.
crap, that's right. my bad.
That is an amazing shirt
Depends on how they split. I've seen Republican proposals to split CA into five states, with the entire urban coastal corridor as one state and the rest as four states, netting +6R senators. Likewise, splitting off eastern Oregon and eastern Washington as separate states.
Dude would absolutely use it as an opportunity to just hoover up every FEMA buck he could straight into his swiss bank account.
Like pretty much every city in America, Boise would benefit hugely by building a bunch of public housing apartments. BCACHA does a solid job, their biggest problem is not having nearly enough units for everyone that needs them.
Man the Russian losses from this war would make a pretty respectable military all by itself.
Chemtrails, a conspiracy theory that airplane contrails are evidence of widespread weather control or mind control.
Low key dreading that.
With dogs, I highly recommend Thundershirts. It's a dog shirt that's designed to hug the dog tightly but gently. It seems to help a lot with a nervous doggo. I also find CBD dog treats to help.
Ena: Dream BBQ is excellent. I hope you like it.
It's simple. Trump believes that in any transaction where a good is exchanged for money, the guy selling goods is running a scam. Money should only flow one way, in. So when the US is selling cars to Vietnam we are winning, but when we buy electronics from Vietnam to build cars with we are losing.
There's way more honor in feet pics.
It's a genre convention. It just works. Trying to justify these things is a mark of insecurity in a writer. Some things can just happen.
Make your words as simple as possible and no simpler.
I mean, yeah, a few, but they're more the light-a-Tesla-charger-on-fire types.
Euthanasia centers cost money and only make a difference if they cared if it hurt when you died.
Everyone wants to believe that bad things only happen to bad people. The idea that evil happens to both the just and the unjust is terrifying.
Happy birthday
The idiots already joked about him being the God Emperor of Mankind from Warhammer 40k, being dead will only improve his resemblance.
Dude looks good in a suit.
Trump doesn't take off-ramps, no matter how they're offered. I expect an escalation from him.
By the time you’ve reached your forties you will have lived to see the newspapers that insisted that the country you grew up in was on the verge of social collapse portray those very same years of your youth as a period of blissful social cohesion.
Basically nobody showed up. It was a humiliating failure and the organizer is out tens of thousands of dollars for the whole thing.
The administration has cultivated a work environment where everyone is terrified of giving the boss bad news or telling him his plan won't work. The planners of this strike could well have worse information than internet randos.
Freezing fog is intensely miserable.
It makes me smile.
That's the driving motivation behind all sorts of fitness nonsense- the idea that you can good health your way out of anything, because the idea that disease can just happen to you and you have no control over it is terrifying.
They don't even have a train station in my state. I'd have to take a bus for a day just to reach a station. It's just not viable here.
I assume we can rely on this guy's support for the dismantling of socialist immigration controls, socialist military, and socialist law enforcement.
Monstrous.
Really? For the last time really?
Also, let me point out: if he "unlawfully interfered" with ICE a lot of the voters are going to think that's 'rad' and 'based'.
Okay you've sold me.
Blaming weathermen for the weather. What a perfect encapsulation of MAGA epistemology.
