Obviously, Democrats are not saying to dismantle the asylum system directly and are essential to support at this point. But hardening the border is also doing this slowly and steadily, and the Democrats' base must push them to protect the system through which we say never again.

In his Wisconsin speech today Trump has positively referenced Lindbergh, and also said that we should let no immigrants in from dangerous countries, so while I’m not saying he definitely would have sent fleeing Jews back to the Nazis I’m not NOT saying that

Solely because I'm fascinated by this and need to air the question, do you understand why OUP would price an ebook over the paperback edition? It's 4¢ more and I'm cackling at the concept.

He's teaching me about Tolkien now in day two of this chat and I'm okay with this. But on god, revolution-or-busters are so fucking annoying. You think disrupting the food supply chain won't cause—at minimum—localized famine while you handle your reforms?

Monopsony power is so perfectly destructive to the owners of whoever owns it in a way that is obvious when it's directed at the labor market. If you established a monopsony on production, the production will reflect the monopsonist's desires or it will collapse.

"And that's why the CIA killed him!" The CIA killed him... Because he was protecting the bourgeois mode of production? "No, he was protecting the bourgeois mode of production while shifting trade flows." Okay, but what does that have to do with non-market reform? "BOURGEOIS"

If you want your local National Weather Service alerts on your Bluesky feed, they're starting to be populated as "@ [your 3 letter airport code] dot nws-bot dot us". Final codes will be lightly switched. But today for Seattle that's @sea.nws-bot.us.
