@redhotnerd @Ron_YNWA Do white people ever get passed up on jobs, promotions, admissions because their race(or because someone else ticks a box?)

If yes, then it's real

@neoavatara It's too difficult to ask congress to do their jobs. They've been busy having the judiciary do it for then

@EWErickson Legitimate question. What if someone brought in a toddler and claimed it was born here, but didn't have any papers. Saying it was iman in home.birth and were worried about deportation?

@vailingriht @KonstantinKisin Don't mind the first part but those who work in migration typically advocate for it. They work as a jump point and help people/encourage them.

@vailingriht @KonstantinKisin We don't need to be funding weird NGOs that could support, or even draw, mass migration to the West. That includes those Catholic and hias

Must read exposé: “How Progressive Class Warrior Ro Khanna Lives Like the Oligarchs He ‘Fights,’ With In-Home Elevator, $190K Range Rover, and Family-Owned Golf Courses.”

“Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) has emerged as a potential contender for the Democratic presidential nomination while denouncing the ultra-rich who "hoard wealth and engage in financial speculation." But the progressive, Silicon Valley congressman and his family live a life of staggering luxury, fueled by dynastic wealth they did not earn and protected by the same thicket of trusts, anonymous corporations, and foundations that Khanna condemns.

Khanna lives in a $6 million, 8,000-square-foot luxury home with a four-story elevator and so much premium marble that even the two laundry rooms have marble counters.

The Northwest Washington, D.C., home is now for sale, as the Khanna family prepares to move to an even larger, more expensive house a few miles away in the Northern Virginia suburbs. Khanna’s two children, who are minors, have large ownership shares in three private golf clubs, a significant stake in a $65 billion wealth management firm, and investments in hedge funds that focus on distressed debt, of which Khanna has been critical. Khanna’s wife drives a $190,000 Range Rover she was so displeased with that she sued the dealer.” https://t.co/Ftoa5VtxCR

@hqtwttime @TheNorth212 @MattBinder Someone owns a second property doesn't mean there are less houses.

Doesn't mean it causes increases in labor costs, supplies, and taxes either

CNN has discovered that Darializa Avila Chevalier had a burner account from 2020 to 2022 where she praised communism and communists leaders.

She favorably quoted convicted cop killer Assata Shakur on how she studied Castro and Kim Il Sung before Marx and Lenin, whose biggest crime was being white but were otherwise great thinkers.

She also complained that you couldn't achieve communism because people want too many different kinds of soup.

Avila Chevalier even did artistic criticism in which she judged works by how pro-communist they were.

It's pretty bad that people like this are winning Democratic primaries.

Debate over Musk and USAID reminds me of a classic post: The Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics

Because the United States once helped people it is now obligated to fix the problem forever, even more so than someone who hasn't helped at all.

One of the dumbest things about the debate over “nationalism” is that the same people who tell you it’s toxic and dangerous in the West will then dance on stage in a nationalistic frenzy over a country so dangerous they can’t even live there.
