The US Administration is not engaged in a 'crackdown', which means strict punishment of people who break laws.
It is engaged in a vast and universal program of immigrant exclusion, regardless of legal status, skill, and economic contribution.
Tucker Carlson interviewed white nationalist podcaster Nick Fuentes on Monday, sitting politely as Fuentes criticized the power of “organized Jewry in America.”

No-Empathy was at it again on Thursday
With the Epstein distractions, the story missed the coverage it was due
The AP didn’t run it until Yesterday (Friday)
It may have been posted, but blocking a State Rep from attending an event where he represents constituents, is worthy of resurfacing
The Senate Intelligence Committee
Led by Chairman Marco Rubio
Found that Russia was working to get Trump elected in 2016
And that there were numerous links between Russia and Donald Trump’s campaign
As Democrats on the committee correctly noted at the time
“This is what collusion looks like”
Seriously, holy hell.
Virtually every mainstream outlet has flubbed this limited hangout.

Bc I am basing this on my highly unreliable memory, I’m not certain but I think this makes 3 in a very short period of time. But not sure the window guy was in govt. May have been an oligarch of some kind
I think this guy was shot….shot him self but there was another guy who very recently “committed suicide” by jumping from a high window, which is to say defenestration 😳

I’m very glad you have a saintly sister. I have one of those too. It sure makes life easier 🤭🤫
Still sucks that your Dad is struggling 🥺
emotional. You weren’t. You were just being authentic in a way that I think relates to emotion, which is to say in a way that has more to do with who we really are & what our experiences are really all about.
But I could be wrong. I sometimes am 😂
What I’m not wrong about, however, is the fact 🧵
about being too open or sharing too much bc we are so culturally committed to the absurd idea that we shouldn’t share anything emotional or burden anybody with anything involving genuine feeling.
I just disagree w/ that.
Not suggesting you were being particularly 🧵
Don’t be absurd, Joel!!! If we can’t be authentic, what’s the point? I’m serious. One of my areas of research is philosophy if emotion & I’m pretty convinced that emotion drives almost all of our thoughts & behaviors (to some extent or another). I mention that bc I think we usually worry 🧵

Do you have siblings? I so hope you have siblings &are not dealing with this alone.
Also,your Dad sounds simultaneously extremely frustrating & kind of awesome 🤭
Yikes!!! 😬
This story is funny but also incredibly sad. Dementia is bullshit. I do not approve of its existence!!!!
And I may be wrong but it also seems to be something that our culture gives us very little guidance on so that those of us who end up having to care for someone w/ dementia are 🧵
