It is insane to me that the richest man in the world is using his global megaphone to call for millions of British people to be rounded up and deported (including my family) and somehow this isn’t even news.

RFKjr. is doing nothing less than conducting experiments on the US populace to prove his quack eugenics theories. A symptom may be that the people of the United States will overthrow this regime when pushed to their edge of tolerance for this abuse. Voyager "Scientific Method" comes to mind.

Don't obey unjust laws. Don't obey laws enforced unjustly. Basic common sense reveals these scenarios, no one needs to wait for a ruling by the SCOTUS to defy these unjustly enforced laws. Fight.

And frankly the culprits in the Trump administration better be REALLY REALLY cooperative when it happens, because the alternative is inspired by 1790's France.

Anti-vaxxers dying improves the human species by ending their stupid gullible inferior-brained bloodline, at least that's their own stupid choice. But when their stupidity causes the suffering of innocent animals it crosses over into cruelty.

The foreign minister of Hungary, Péter Szijjártó, is an anti-Ukrainian fanatic and recipient of a Friendship Medal from the russian terrorist state. The failure of the EU to expel or suspend Hungary, a russian client state, brings into doubt its viability and reason for being.

We have to stop being afraid of hypotheticals. When Donald Trump cancels Kamala Harris' security detail, he does so because everyone knows there are crazy violent people who may cause her harm and he wants to flex his power to instill fear. There are people who WILL use violence to stop evil.

RFKjr. plays dice. Why one person survives a deadly infectious disease while another does not is partially simple luck: which cells get infected, whether or not someone is coincidentally hydrated or not, dozens possibly hundred of random factors: but RFKjr. thinks he has certainty. Brownian motion!

No, it's not - the bird flu is a worldwide epidemic, and there are other countries with chickens also doing research. Whether the EU or Chinese get there faster than the US would have remains to be seen, and how much they charge us for leftover products does as well.

Private liquor sellers are not inclined to do things "on principle for the common good" like government-controlled liquor stores can. This Trump crap is unprescedented, maybe unanticipated. A reason why provincial governments must NOT privatize liquor sales in Canada. Same with food supply mgmt.

The only penalty is "they have to stop doing the illegal thing" and when they don't the penalty is a sternly worded letter. Clearly the Judicial and Legislative branches need their OWN enforcement forces. I'd love to watch the Judicial and Executive paramilitary units "work things out".

Their freedom of religion allows them to believe what they want, including twisting customary understandings of Christianity into something unrecognizable. My freedom of (and from) religion allows me to call out behavior no benevolent deity would ever endorse...and oppose intellectual monkey shit.

The only hope the people of the US have is that the enlisted men and women will turn their rifles on military leaders giving illegal orders to harm civilians. Don't count on "the law" to protect you: psycho Stephen Miller will make Trump declare an insurgency if someone gives him the finger.

America has changed for the worse so rapidly in large part because of elite capitulation. So many in Congress, business, media, universities—not all, but still way too many—give in to threats, or even bow down in anticipation. That happened in 1930s Germany too. Another lesson we refused to learn.
