Deportations under Obama were higher than under Bush and Trump personally squashed bipartisan legislation pushed by Biden to tighten up border control. But go on about how Democrats don't enforce border control

It's weird, but I don't think we should be dismissive of it. Mining is a dangerous and polluting business here on earth. The Moon would be a great base of operations for mining if we can overcome the issues with living and working there.

this is why its super important for democratic politicians and liberals to *make noise* about things. most people do not follow politics, certainly not like we junkies do. when you make a ton of noise about stuff it bleeds over into normie world and shapes opinions.

The fact that some democratic governors are going to visit Trump at the White House despite all that has happened tells you a lot about the rot at the root of the party. It isnβt even about Trump being petty and inviting only Republicans. The man is a monster who literally murders Americans.

We canβt tolerate another cycle of Democrats turning the page on these guys. We did it with Bush, Reagan, Bush II, Nixon and Trump I.

Your regular reminder that John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, and Neil Gorsuch are corrupt Christian nationalists who have used SCOTUS to undermine our democracy.

AI isn't going to replace jobs, jobs will adjust to incorporate AI and there will be more capacity to do more things. The real thing that is killing jobs is allowing so much wealth to concentrate into the hands of a few people who have no reason to invest to improve their lives
