On top of everything that’s wrong with this, Republicans JUST succeeded, after screaming about the need for it for YEARS, in forcing literally everyone to go and get their stupid, expensive replacement licenses, and now they’re no good anyway.
Add to this that HSI just filed a declaration in our case challenging these policies saying they can’t trust REAL IDs as proof of status.
So showing your papers isn’t even enough to end the stop.

Hiring a white guy for a job that has been held disproportionately by white guys, because he is a white guy: “subverting” identity politics!

Ukraine already tried giving up land for Russia’s word to stop attacking, with the Minsk Agreements of 2014-15. Russia violated them with a full scale invasion in 2022.
Why would Ukraine think land for peace would work this time, especially when a Putin-sympathetic US won’t do security guarantees?

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says that if Ukraine takes the right steps, its GDP could surpass Russia’s within 10 years.
"They are literally fighting over a 30-50 km strip in Donetsk, roughly 20% of the region still under Ukrainian control and now a central issue in negotiations."

A question for criminal lawyers. Is there anything stopping us from arresting MSB for murdering Khashoggi? Can we please do that next time a Democrat is in the White House?

That's correct. As Jews, we are required to denounce genocide, even, and I'm my opinion, especially, when it's Israel that is perpetrating the genocide.
Jews cannot be safe anywhere if Israel is committing crimes in our name.
Jews cannot be safe anywhere if Israel is committing crimes in our name.
It's important to note, as I have multiple times, that it's possible to be Jewish - as I am - and still condemn Israel for genocidal acts. In fact, the history of Judaism makes it clear Jews are obligated to speak out. Never again *means* never again. #zachor
Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon
