Immigrants are the cheat code to economic growth, what we might call an infinite money glitch. Improving productivity by increasing the number of people involved is always easier than making the same number of people more productive
While the mainstream discussions are depressingly about *how* best to remove and stop immigrants, it’s a revolutionary act nowadays to say that immigration is actually a positive thing and an essential component of a thriving country, so please join me in doing so!

The recent tanker seizure shows they are absolutely capable of interdicting these vessels without any loss of life.
They’re murdering because they want to murder.

The Trump-Vance admin has been committing illegal strike after illegal strike. They're trying to normalize it.
They're counting on you to lose track, to be too overwhelmed to remember the gravity of what they're doing.
But we're keeping track of every single strike.
So far: 22 strikes. 87 killed.

Any time I comment on shootings in the US, I invariably get told that "you need guns to defend against tyranny".
* looks back over 2025 *

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

ICE puts a U.S. citizen in a chokehold, forcing him to his knees in the snow.
When he offers his ID, agents ignore him.

ICE is unleashing attack dogs on human beings. This is government-branded brutality. Grateful to @SenPattyMurray for bringing Wilmer’s story forward, and to Wilmer for the courage to share it. And ICE? Rot for what you’ve done to our communities.

Goosebumps and tears in my eyes. This is literally the stuff you see on movies when there needs to be an argument for if humans are so terrible, why should they continue to exist, and there is a montage of rosy things that make life worth living.

“The takeover of the Peace Institute was also anything but peaceful, seizing the independent entity and ousting its board before affixing his name to the building.”

Rabbiatu is a nurse who worked during COVID, had been in the U.S. 30 years. A judge ordered that she could not be sent back to Sierra Leone for her safety, for fear of torture (!). So our evil regime sent her to Ghana (in shackles), and Ghana dragged her back to Sierra Leone.
🧵This 58-year-old nurse from Maryland is seen being violently dragged along the ground by officials in Ghana.
Trump deported her there.
This abhorrent & disgusting abuse of a woman who saved American lives and cared for injured and ill Americans for 30 years.
All the details below are worse.
