They're well-conditioned to think only in terms of market competition and social hierarchy, with morality defined by whiteness rather than actions. Social conditioning carves us all into more or less perverse shapes that are useful to the (racist/classist) power structures we interact with.
When it comes to Israel/Gaza, always look at who the people you are amplifying are before you boost them. Seeing a clip of an anti-semitic, anti-LGBTQ, monarchist, Polish nationalist MEP going viral by ppl who would probably be appalled by him if they did an ounce of research.
If your boss tells you that you have to work today and you’re in the path of the hurricane and you’re worried about your job please know that you can call FEMA and apply for relief for your lost wages. Don’t risk your life for some power-tripper. People in NC died because of their asshole managers
The US had quasi-open borders until 1917. In the Colonial era/early USA, states exercised some immigration authorities, but mostly people just showed up. Congress took control in the late 19th century. We invented visas in 1917, shut off most immigration in 1924, and turned it back on in 1965.

I don’t know this guy. I don’t know what he/his family has or hasn’t done. But you can criticize his politics and his integrity without being a racist shitbag. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...
It's worse, unfortunately. Whether Democrats are allowed to govern *in between* elections is now a partisan issue. Whether federal law applies to states is a partisan issue. A house divided against itself cannot stand.
