Chattel slavery was so bad that when we tell you how bad it in fact was most of y'all shut down and tell us we're making it up and pass laws against us ever telling you how bad it was again because your brains literally cannot handle how bad it in fact was.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

Bringing a dependent?

We need to show we have enough money not just to cover our own costs but also theirs. Then there's the NHS surcharge.

If we get a 3 year visa, we need to pay costs upfront. That's thousands of pounds and months and months of stress.

And even then we don't qualify for welfare

As an immigrant, disinfo like this pisses me off.

We don't move here penniless. We can't.

EVERY international student brings £150K for tuition fees & living expenses. Then we work hard to make that money back and pay taxes.

Moving countries & careers is VERY HARD and we do it and we succeed.

An actual advisor to the president said this.

And look at what that 65 million number likely represents.

Glad to have made some of the decisions we’ve made.

‘My mind was shrieking: “What am I doing?”’ – when the digital nomad dream turns sour Working remotely from a beach in a far-off land sounds like bliss – and the number of people doing it has soared since 2019. But between bouts of illness, relentless admin and crushing loneliness, man...

Insert angry statement someone will try and make me feel bad about in the future

History lesson: Before and during the Civil Rights Movement, folks actually made religious arguments against integration and interracial marriage. Indeed, in the decision that gave rise to Loving v VA, the VA trial court said that God put the races on different continents to prevent race mixing.

So. Smart.

We still talking about record high grocery prices or nah?

Has all the insanity you can all see with your own eyes in the US and now the rest of the world worth that vote for the orange toddler king?

Good luck America.

It’s literally printed on every BRP and/or document I, my wife, or my 3 year old son have ever received.

I’m relatively new to British politics but I would willingly inject this directly into my veins if they somehow turned it into a drug.

Wish everyone would shout this from the mountaintops.

Dating app? 😏

This is a troubled woman

Former MP for party that doesn’t believe in a social safety net would like a luxury social safety net for MPs www.politico.eu/article/brit...

Anyone know what the UK equivalent of bootstraps is?

Because to my growing up in America brain, it sounds like Baker and all the other fired Tory MPs need to pull themselves up by them…

Let’s go!!!!!!

modems screaming at us in the 90s was a warning and we didn't take it

If I was a person involved in exiling a two year old child with cancer to another country I would simply walk into the ocean and never return

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia?

Before you open this thread, take a guess. Settle on a number and then compare it to what you'll learn in this thread. 🧵

The most enraging but also weirdly the only encouraging thing about that latest Once In A Generation (if only) crash is this one is so fixable. There’s no Covid, no subprime lending, just a dumb move that could be undone tomorrow. One man’s ego is the only obstacle.

Turns out folks have been warning about this guy for years. How could anyone have known? 🙄

This is high art

So confused. How do these woke socialist markets not appreciate the big beautiful tariffs?!?

Don’t they know it was liberation day?

Absolutely tired of the psychodrama of one country being the problem of the entire planet.
