The 1924 Immigration Act limited immigration by country of origin and was explicitly racist, antisemitic and eugenicist. It took 40 years and so much struggle to fix that garbage law. Read the debates from then you will hear precisely the same rhetoric from Trumpmiller etc.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Wrecking young people's reading, writing & analytical skills during their formative years is an economic imperative for AI companies. For many of us who learned these things without AI, slop can't pass for news or entertainment. Destroying standards is essential to the industry's growth & survival.

Killing is bad, and to that end I'd like to call attention to the dozens killed in small boats in the southern Caribbean by the Trump Administration and the estimated 600,000 who've died of preventable disease and starvation thanks to the administration's destruction of USAID.

Our convicted felon president, who pardoned Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys convicted of seditious conspiracy, wants to charge Mark Kelly, a decorated war veteran and astronaut, with seditious conspiracy.
That’s some next-level banana republic shit right there.

Trump promised the tariffs would help lower grocery bills. Dept. of agriculture has money from tariffs and he is barring them from using that money to fund SNAP. Tell everyone who voted for him (the not-rich ones, the rich ones don't care). Also, ball rooms easily funded. Hungry kids, nah.

Murderers. They are simply and disgustingly murderers. Our "leaders".

They are murdering people for no cause. This is totally illegal and deeply immoral. The international community should rise up against Hegseth and Trump immediately. Every newspaper should be screaming. Instead, we quietly note another boat goes down. They are manufacturing crisis at home and war.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.
