Right-wingers are just saying with their whole chest now that immigrants are "the destruction of our civilization." No one seems to remember but 5-10 years ago this stuff was the province of neo-Nazis. No pretense of caring about jobs or anything like that, it's just the 14 words

this is what literally everyone who has ever worked with or for him says about him behind his back

No: "The mother said she thinks there 'needs to be some legislation […] to protect parents” at private schools.'” flvoicenews.com/parents-outrag… The protection is your ability to leave & take your $ with you. That & your handbook or other contract laying out terms you AGREE to.

Underrated: journalists skew college educated, cosmopolitan, and white collar. All of which correlates to thinness and good health relative to the gen pop. And this, shall we call it “class-based health privilege,” shaped the tenor of the reaction to the new weight loss drugs.

The obvious reason why it's important to try Trump before the election is that it's important that he face a trial for his attempt to overturn the 2020 election, and if he wins, that won't happen.

Imagine the outrage if he’d spent such a sum feeding and housing them.

So weird Trump supporters aren’t eager to get the trial started so his name can be definitively cleared before the election.

I know you’re not supposed to care about tweets but yet again, look at the ratio on this. Literally thousands of replies pushing Great Replacement conspiracy thinking, some rationalizing violence. Prominent racists like Sailer amplifying and people thanking Elon for spreading it

This drives me nuts. I use a VPN routinely, but especially in sponsored ads on YouTube I see some pretty absurd claims made about what a VPN can actually do to protect you.
