To be clear they were given this in Juarez, not by us. More than a little dishonest framing here.

Sorry, but you guys are the baddies 100% now.

Pretty vast loving difference between forcing a queue for entry and literally writing or tattooing numbers on arms.

I'm furious about our immigration policy. It's racist, horrifying, and we were literally putting children in internment camps. I'm sure we still are. This poo poo has killed people and should be condemned from the rooftops by the whole loving world. It's a crime against human decency and we should be welcoming immigrants with open arms by the boatload because they work harder, commit fewer crimes, and make this country the economic and scientific juggernaut - and because it's right! What we're doing is not okay, and yes, the fact that this is what we're doing makes me angry because it goes against everything our nation should be - against everything ever nation should be.

There's enough to criticize without implying that we're tattooing people's arms. That's it.

I'm not even sure why anyone's bothering to complain that AOC is only a freshman congresscritter and can't do anything and we're all fools for liking her. The point is that she's visible and is advocating for Medicare for All, gun control, and the need to avoid 1 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. She'll push the conversation left, and that's enough for me!

Tumblr decided to off themselves into the great beyond and have announced they're banning all porn. Curious to see where 3/4 of their userbase migrates too next week.

well at least now it can return to its true purpose: 14 year olds arguing over which one has greater transgressions against minority group du jour

From my understanding of the issue, it's not one. Beto is listed as being one of the top recipients in Congress of oil and gas money, but keep in mind that includes donations from people who work in those industries, not just the companies themselves. Considering oil and gas is one of the top employers in Texas, it's not a huge surprise that he'd get a lot of money from that sector, and it hasn't stopped him from talking about climate change.

also, literally no nominee is going to be perfect, or not friendly towards some group or another that we dislike

Accept it, realize they'll still accomplish good everywhere else, loving vote

Hope you weren't expecting China/US relations to calm down!

Canada just arrested Huawei's CFO for extradition to the US for attempting to violate Iran sanctions. My (limited) understanding of China's party politics makes this the equivalent of arresting a Saudi prince.

Unironically this is loving fantastic.

The Iran thing is whatever. But anything that disrupts Huawei's massive industrial espionage program is good in my books.

Whoopsie doodle, nobody explained that if you take a bomb maker suspect out back and execute them in Afghanistan you shouldn't talk about it afterwards!

Man I'm pleasantly shocked the CIA actually reported that.

the people with 401ks would like you to not do anything that might harm the amount of value they can extract from your existence

so about 54 million americans then?

When did having a retirement savings account become a symbol of bourgeois decadence again?

people tying their retirement to the value of their home is a huge problem with housing in the western world because creating affordable housing directly decreases the value of their home

Putting assets in real estate for retirement is entirely orthogonal to putting your 18.5k every year into what amounts to a tax free savings account.

When making enough to save / stay out of debt became abnormal instead of expected.

This on the contrary makes a much better point regarding retirement savings and the what - $400 most American households have in savings? You wanna make the point that it's horrific how only a third of eligible working Americans can afford to/contribute to their 401ks then I'm all on board, but that doesn't make a third of the workforce bougie fat cats.

Getting out of Afghanistan is a good thing.

Yeah even if Trump is going to get a lot of innocents killed, spending more blood and treasure in Afghanistan is just going to breed more resentment, consume more and more of our resources, and continue to result in terrible human cost.

We need to get out. We lost the war, it's time to admit that and cut our losses.
