Why are so many of the tweets and articles about this making it sound like problem is that the victim wasn’t really a migrant?

I assume at least from politics places that will calm down a lot now the NFL is done. She seems to stay very unpolitical, other than occasional get out to vote stuff which won't be until much nearer the election, so MAGA crew will forget about her in a week or two when some new rando come along to take their hate for stupid reasons.

In 2020 she tweeted “we will destroy you” or similar at Trump, so I think the “very unpolitical” phase has been over for a while.

E: found it

I dunno, man. The FBI used to keep files on popular celebrities like John Lennon, Muhammad Ali, Jimi Hendrix, Jackie Robinson and all kinds of folks with the lens that they were subversives or whatever.

I think it’s important to note that the FBI did not do that in order to have those people make leftist movements more successful, exactly.

I never read the book that Total Recall is from: is it satire, or did Verhoven reinterpret that material as well?

It’s… kinda weird. ‘We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” is a parody of Total Recall, despite being written first.

Well that’s a compelling pitch, tbqh.

What does this even mean? Stand up to keep things as they are and don't dream of things getting better because that's actually a nightmare?

It means he got a word wrong, utopia/dystopia.

Given the resources, Card would likely be just as detrimental to the world as Rowling is. He’s a better writer, at least.

When was the last time you heard a CHUD bitching about interracial marriage

The last time one was featured on a national TV ad campaign, probably.

I thought the reason she got fired is because she was being very openly anti-Semitic and reposting/liking really heinous anti-Jewish memes

I think the breaking point was when she pointed out somewhere that maybe Israel didn’t need to murder so many Palestinian civilians in cold blood.

Speaking of math, Hannity and a few others like to extrapolate the number of people killed in the Hamas Israel attack by saying it would be the % population equivalent of like 40,000 dead Americans. But it got me wondering what 33,000 dead people in Gaza would amount to if they did the same trick. Naturally, none of them have run the numbers that way. Let's just do this USA Math to make an already horrible attack seem even bigger!

Can you imagine how pissed they’d be if the US military killed 40,000 Americans? I see their point!

Rumour is they're not even bankrupt. They might just be doing it to avoid litigation from all the election workers they defamed.

how would this protect them from litigation?
