It makes me feel insane that all of this is happening while there's a movie in theaters named "Greenland 2: Migration"

Official accounts of the US government are fantasizing about "deporting" almost a third of the country, which just so happens to be almost the number of non-white citizens total

Doesn't surprise me that this is the kind of "socialist" opinion that the Atlantic allows to be published. It's embarrassing to the left on purpose.

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.
