David J. Bier: For decades, nativists have sold America this narrative that immigrant welfare is behind our deficits and debt. This figure shows how absurd that is. This is all government expenditures, federal, state, and local, for the last 3 decades. Immigrants are not to blame:
I wrote about how murders of people seen as “good” tend to galvanize the public against state violence in helpful ways. But to establish a just system in the long run, it's critical to recognize harm done to those who would never make the cut as saints.
Je suis d’accord et je l’ai observé même dans mon entourage, mais très honnêtement, c’est quoi cet article en papier mâché ? Aucun fait, aucune recherche…
I cannot fathom it’s still around 40% after all this. The lies, the violence, the corruption, the lawlessness, the stupidity…and there is a still 2 Americans out ouf 5 saying, yeah, I support that. This country is sick. Sorry. But deeply sick.
We're getting ready to launch - making sure we've got testing, observability and backups all in good order. It's taking a smidgen longer than we hoped but first invites will arrive on the first week of February and roll out throughout the month.
Thank you for your patience 🙏
Mon Dieu, je ne l’avais pas reconnu. Non mais cette déchéance !
Catastrophe: Florida's Department of Health is stopping coverage for antivirals to 10,000 low-income people with HIV infection, blaming impending federal cuts to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. 12.5% of Americans with HIV live in Florida.

La résilience par l'inefficacité totale. Imparable.
In case you missed the memo: Trump is the only sitting president of America, legally elected (twice!) by a majority of Americans to represent America and currently threatening America’s allies in the name of all Americans.
This IS America in the eyes of the world.
Bravo néanmoins, hein !
Allumer la cheminée :-)
One day, this guy and his sycophants will leave office, and your country will be left with nothing but a pile of shambles of what your réputation and your real power once was: no more allies, no more credibility, no more soft power or influence. Just a rogue nation with too much power…
That is, again, not what the post says. I quote “California will not vote for him” if he’s candidate.
And for what it’s worth, I’m European, I don’t give a shit whether your candidate is called Newsom or John Doe. But facing Vance, you vote for them.
Then it shouldn’t say that Californians will not vote for him if he was to be a candidate.
As a European who hasn’t voted for a candidate she believes in 20 years to avoid a far-right government, I’m telling you: this debate is nice and fine as long as you don’t have a candidate. But IF Newsom is the democrat facing Vance and you DON’T vote for him, you deserve everything coming for you.
A priori ça ne suspend pas les elections. Ce n’est pas la loi martiale. L’insurrection act transfère à l’armée de droits de maintien de l’ordre (I.e. les mêmes droits que la police), mais pas plus. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurre...
Du moins à mon petit niveau d’information.
A screenshot of a Tumblr post reading: There she was, with legs longer than the 20th century. Her blood-red silk dress, made by the raw goods, factories and logistics of a dozen countries, barely covered her curves. She lit a cigarette, shining with the dull red of a hundred revolutions. Francis Fukuyama nearly fell from the chair he himself had made when he saw her coming in. He knew he should have locked that door. But he also knew she would come back. She would always be back. It was just a matter, like anything else on his profession, of time. "History?" he asked, trying to sound academic, with a gasp almost escaping his throat when he smelled the smoke of ashes yet to settle. "Oh, you recognized me, darling..." she smirked, as she walked towards him, her body flowing like a dialectical contradiction. "I... I... thought we were done." Fukuyama stammered, sweat dripping from his forehead, his sociocultural paradigm failing faster than his composure. "Oh, honey..." History purred with a voice husky from a thousand discourses... "We are done when *I* say we are done." Tagged with: #damn!!! 674 notes

Oh Mann. Alles, alles Gute!
Let's just be clear about this--Reagan was not in any way a good president. And without him, we wouldn't be in this whole mess right now. 🧵1/
Well, he’s always had a sense for drama and “big nationing”. Remember when he said we entered into a “war” against COVID? Desperate to regain the legitimacy lost on the interior stage through exterior policy and grand gestures.
Oh Mann. Gute Besserung ❤️
That is not true. And I say so for having tried to get the most basic information of my field through ChatGPT, and if it didn’t make the information purely up (not kidding, including fake links to fake websites), it basically told me to consult…a me. Hahahahah.
À must read
So true. Observed everyday in my job.
Knew a business school professor who was convinced that the real “glass ceiling” for women was the fact that men didn’t trust them to go along with bad behavior. They grow up in male bonded groups, where they can do whatever they want. And women not being able to do the same is half the fun.
@zeit.de: "The transatlantic alliance is no longer held together by common values." In Munich, Vance is the ambassador not of the US but of the global populist (I'd say fascist) axis.
Wer greift hier die Demokratie an?

Oulouloulou, désolée, mais les illuminés, je ne leur parle pas..good bye!
Tout en critiquant à juste titre la violence policière taz.de/Palaestina-D...
Ce n’est pas du noir et blanc. Mais ce n’est certainement pas le signe de la montée du fascisme en Allemagne. Cette montée existe, mais ce n’est pas ça son expression première…
C’est bien pour ça aussi qu’il ne faut pas s’indigner non plus au premier post mal informé. Et pour info - Il y a eu plusieurs articles dans la presse très franchement à gauche qui démontrent l’existence de paroles contraires la constitution allemande. Ex: taz.de/Schlaege-Tri...
Sans défendre mais pour expliquer cette décision de la police berlinoise : elle est liée à des appels au meurtre de juifs en langue arabe lors des manifestations précédentes, diffusés par la suite sur les RS. Ça ne rigole pas trop sur les appels à la haine en Allemagne, de quelque bord que ce soit.
