Asking the law to play stupid on the grounds of discrimination never sat right with me. I worked in an Oakland part of the city where the open secret is how many illegal immigrants were there. Using this public knowledge to enforce immigration law doesn't strike me as a violation

I cannot handle how issues have essentially lost partisan valance. Before it was extremely RW coded to post a meme like this. Practically overnight it became the Liberal rallying cry. Truly a post-policy world has emerged

The discomfort this video has generated is best expressed as a natural aversion to, and suspicion of, hippie aesthetic. This is a generally healthy response

Learning of a demographic that gets their news from YouTube shorts and TikToks and hold bizarre beliefs about what the news reports while clearly being out of the loop of reporting cycles. Ex: some claiming Western media wasn't reporting on the famine of Gaza

SF is so weird politically. This is pretty much a call for MORE homelessness and it's a perfectly acceptable rallying cry that defies any political categorization

Khalil not being deported yet shows how badly immigration policies fail and how even Trumpism has its limits. Odd how good we are at removing random, sympathetic people but not political extremists

I weirdly enough love this. Hunting as a sport should require a danger and there's nothing shameful or bad from dying in the pursuit of your prey. That is the very principle that should draw you to hunting in the first place

I love this idea. "An author doesn't create books, they send the words which then the actual paper manufacturer uses to create the books. We can just cut out the authors, tbh"

What this highlights to me is that American immigration policy seems to veer only to extremes. And maybe that's a flaw of the short electoral cycles were a coherent, long term strategy is borderline impossible.

No, this is a misunderstanding of lesbian culture. This would be too heteronormative to be attractive and appealing. Lesbian sexuality, especially when it's cognitively defined as Queer in direct opposition to her sexual norms

Yeah. Chat hallucinates really badly. Now apply this to psychological examinations of your life and you get a sense of why psychiatrists saying this is close enough is worrying about that field
