Dear media and OMG, lawmakers: Stop using ‘illegal immigrant.’

It’s inaccurate, dehumanizing, and lazy.

People aren’t illegal.

Crossing a border without papers doesn’t erase your humanity.

Let’s call them what they are: undocumented immigrants.

Language shapes perception.

Let’s get it right!

If this was a no, it would be really easy to say no.

Bondi’s ad hominem attack on Whitehouse is WAY more of an answer than she realizes.

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

Convinced that most British people want to live in a functioning, decent country where government improves stuff and everyone can thrive.

The vast majority want nothing to do with this imported hate and atmosphere of violence directed at people just trying to live their lives.

Comment réagiraient les éditocrates si demain, on découvrait un pacte de corruption entre Mélenchon et le cerveau du Bataclan pour financer sa campagne de 2022 ?

Je pose la question, car ça n'a pas l'air trop grave quand ça vient d'un politique de droite.

(c'est une blague sur le fait que le cochon qui incarne Staline dans La ferme des animaux s'appelle Napoléon).

Sans surprise aucune, 3 des auteurs sont économistes …

Ils auraient mieux fait de s'associer avec un historien de la période plutôt qu'avec un physicien théorique …

Et Napoléon ?

Alors que tout le monde sait que les Français de 1789 passaient leur temps à s'échanger des mèmes via le Télégraphe Chappe.

Epidemiology models explain rumour spreading during France’s Great Fear of 1789 - Nature Epidemiological methods are used to show that the Great Fear of 1789, a series of peasant insurrections in rural revolutionary France, was driven by deliberate political action rather than spontaneous fear.

Parution dans la revue "Nature" d'un article expliquant la diffusion de la rumeur de la "Grande Peur" de 1789 via le modèle de diffusion des épidémies.

La méthode de collecte et d'analyse des données ne peut que laisser l'historien pantois.

I say again. There is no AUMF; there is no imminence. These are illegal strikes.
Just as were "signature" strikes in Pakistan and Yemen.
We fucking opened these doors then, and now even dumber people with worse rationale are walking through them.

I have zero sympathy for Nigel Farage’s feelings. That rat bastard wants to deport half my wife’s coworkers, my dentist, several friends, my neighbours, a gal who works in my pub, and like 40 people from my church

Does anyone want to tell him what happened to the largest battleship ever built?

That doesn't mean 'we're saved' and it certainly doesn't mean 'the generals will save us' - in a very real sense, when it comes to our politics, that's not their job.

But they do not seem bought in and that's good.

'Soldiers stood aside' is a phrase that usually precedes, "then the regime fell.'
