Jason L Cheung aka The CHEUNGuska Event

When The U.S. Government Tried To Replace Migrant Farmworkers With High Schoolers In 1964, a program that brought migrant Mexican laborers to the U.S. ended. So the U.S. recruited American students to pick crops instead. When they saw their living conditions, strikes ensued.

As a Jew and as a former analyst for the Southern Poverty Law Center… yes. Yes to this. What America is doing to immigrants is comparable to what Germany did to various populations in the 1930s.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

Excellent question.

They are trying to force Harvard to admit more conservative students.

Pardon me, but that sounds an awful lot like DEI, only DEI for stupid people.

I have a 30-minute drive home from work, and I listened to this episode from 41:32 to 46:22 on repeat the whole way for it to really sink in. So very well written and delivered too.

Public pressure works! Keep it going.

@governor.ca.gov It's called "housing first".

Jong-Fast: This would be the largest cut to food assistance in US history—and it will result in hungry kids.

It’s also important to mention that this bill grows the deficit. I don’t know how it manages to do the two things you absolutely don’t want—starve children and grow the deficit—but it does.

I need a Democrat who, if Republicans say “Social Security and Medicare need to be cut by 40% doesn’t respond with “no, let’s only cut them by 20%”.

They should respond with “No, let’s increase the cap so Billionaires have to pay into Social Security and Medicare fully and increase the funding 40%.
