It is a strange feeling to see a South African immigrant at work destroying a functional, albeit imperfect, government after decades of careful preparation by an Australian immigrant, all enthusiastically enabled by native born US citizens who are afraid of immigrants.
Why are Chinese AI models censoring historical events like the June 4th, 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre? How can we trust their accuracy on any topic if they cannot get the easy stuff right?

That was honestly the most egregiously bad call I have ever seen in Major League Baseball. This is outright favoritism. That umpire needs to issue Dan Wilson a written apology. @mariners.com @mlb.com

By some accounts, in the Philippine reefs of the 1970s, large groupers appeared every 50 feet or so. Some seemed as large as Volkswagen Beetles. Around them were snappers, fusiliers, wrasses,…

This was never about immigration policy. State sanctioned violence has always been the point. Our streets are being occupied by a masked paramilitary force designed to sow fear and assert control.
Allowing poorly trained agents to roam our streets, kick down doors without warrants, and shoot people dead in the street is state-sanctioned violence—not immigration policy.

ICE has once again murdered one of our neighbors, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. ICE claimed that he “weaponized his vehicle,” which is the exact same lie ICE told about Renee Nicole Good, & have refused to release the bodycam footage.
We must abolish & prosecute ICE. We must destroy the American Gestapo.

ICE fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo during a Houston enforcement operation. His family says he was a hardworking father on his way to work. This is a deadly pattern at DHS: no transparency, no oversight, no accountability. We demand an independent investigation.

maybe this is a hot take but i feel like permanent high immigration is the only way to sustain a positive national myth that starts with colonialism

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure.
Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.
