Someone, sometime, is going to be the first to say "What the fuck is wrong with you?" to Trump's face and that person will be a hero forever, the Neil Armstrong of "reacting like a human being"

A diagram showing different colored humans. The title reads β€” There have been 646 measles cases confirmed in the current South Carolina outbreak (as of Jan 20, 2026)

Red human β€” unvaccinated (563)
Black human β€” unknown vaccination status (58)
Blue human β€” partially vaccinated (12)
Green human β€” fully vaccinated (13)

Receiving both doses of the measles vaccine (MMR vaccine) is 97% effective at preventing measles.

Measles has one of the highest basic reproduction numbers (Rβ‚€) of any disease (12 to 18), meaning one infected person can spread it to 12 to 18 others in a fully susceptible population, making it extremely contagious. Need 95% vaccination status to achieve herd immunity. Get vaccinated!!

I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

Passing legislation to make immigration work how people THINK it works would create one of the most progressive, accessible systems to ever exist.
