@AbelScott11 Quite shameful.

[Contested Lands 🇺🇳 @Vraskaorbust]

@AbelScott11 So the GL scammed Ukrainians out of needed money and material during a war and now they're asking to be immortalized for it?

@polskiyzhyr I've been keeping tabs on them and it's so funny watching them try to rally public support just to ruin it by dropping an image of them with totenkopfs photoshopped onto their face once a month

This dude only has American citizenship because his mother was born here btw

[Senator Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz]

Today’s decision regarding birthright citizenship is a travesty.

The Fourteenth Amendment was written to overturn Dred Scott and guarantee citizenship to freed slaves—not to create automatic citizenship for the children of those who violate our immigration laws or are only temporarily in the United States. This decision will only invite further exploitation of our immigration system.

The Court adopted an interpretation that departs from the original meaning of the Constitution and incentivizes illegal immigration.

Congress retains the authority to clarify federal law, and it should act immediately to restore the original meaning of the Citizenship Clause and protect the integrity of American citizenship.

Why is the representative from South Carolina beefing with a church over Abkhazia?

[Joe Wilson @RepJoeWilson]

Why is Falls Church, Virginia recognizing the illegally Putin occupied FAKE country of Abkhazia — an integral part of the Republic of Georgia — as an independent country?

I hope @FallsChurchGov Mayor Letty Hardi can correct this immediately.

War Criminal Putin is not our friend.

His awards are weird, he's got both a caucus service cross and a Russian Zaporizhzhia'n "For Services to the Zaporozhye Region" award, indicating this isn't his first rodeo.

“The army will turn its weapons against the Kremlin”

Russian soldier threatens Putin with a new military mutiny.

He claimed that Russian soldiers are being tortured and punished for refusing to carry out what he called “senseless suicidal orders.”

I will never get rid of my central valley southern drawl. I don't care if it makes me sound like a hillbilly at times, it's rooted in local history and the Oakies.

New Abkhazian Apsar note introduced! Circulation of 5000 notes and features Nestor Lakoba (Нестор Лакоба)

I will make an attempt to add one of these to my collection. Glad to see Abkhazia getting new banknotes.

I even offered to show her the blade and our guide numbers because I was 100% cutting it on a 2 but she refused and wouldn't say anything but "on a number 2".

She actually left a complaint with my manager but luckily the person who was behind her in line stood up for me.

[Contested Lands 🇺🇳 @Vraskaorbust]

Thinking about the time when I worked at a deli and someone came in and asked for ham "cut on a number 2" and when I cut it on a number 2 she got mad at me.

Asked her if she wanted something thinner or thicker but she kept repeating "on a 2" before getting so mad she left.

I just went back and checked, I'm one of two criminal justice majors here. The rest are all either buisness, child development, or STEM majors. Is this class insightful in a way I don't understand yet? I cannot fathom how you can apply osteology to schooling or bridge building.

[Contested Lands 🇺🇳 @Vraskaorbust]

I'm starting my forensic anthropology class right now and we're at the "introduce yourself" part of the semester.

Why are there engineering majors and child development majors here? What do y'all plan on doing with this information?

I stand by my belief that the United States and the Balkans are spiritually identical.

Aren't there less than 100,000 Quakers left in the U.S.? The decision to grant them a unique title but not a unique title for Sunni and Shia Muslims is bizarre.

Also, don't Quakers oppose military service?

[DOW Rapid Response @DOWResponse]

Last week, a proposed list of simplified faith codes was released to the media. The Pentagon list included redundant and unnecessary labeling, and the mistake has been fixed.

The goal of this effort is to simplify a previously out-of-control “belief” coding system that had ballooned to over 200 codes.

In order to clarify the work of chaplains, and simplify the work of commanders, the Pentagon has consolidated and simplified the list to roughly thirty codes — using the previously used labels for faiths.

The Pentagon’s job is not to adjudicate theological debates, but instead to ensure sincerely-held faith is respected and encouraged in our ranks.

Below is the updated Religious Affiliation Codes (RAC) list:
