The people pushing for the elimination of birthright citizenship are currently committing atrocities against immigrants within our country's borders and murdering fishermen overseas. This cannot be ethically discussed as an abstract legal question. There is no law here, only a fascist will to power.

the Chess sicko community has been disappointed in how much none of these people seem to like chess very much. usually the chess pieces are (fairly literally) flying! they cut "The Story of Chess," "Chess Hymn," and "Talking Chess"!!

I'm really tired of people pretending that this is about whether or not the essay was bad! It's not. It's about trying to purge trans people from society. The student called the TA a fucking demon, man. Do you know what that's like?
