@reguile1 @hamandcheese Fugitive slaves in the 1850s broke the law too, as did those who obstructed their recapture and re-enslavement. I am on their side and not the side of those who tried to enforce that evil law. Are you?

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

Couldn’t agree more. Using the National Guard this way is a completely inappropriate and misguided mission.

The Trump Administration is just sowing more chaos and division in our communities.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

As the federal government conducts chaotic immigration sweeps across the country, the state is deploying additional CHP to maintain safety on Los Angeles highways to keep the peace. It's not their job to assist in federal immigration enforcement.

The federal government is sowing chaos so they can have an excuse to escalate. That is not the way any civilized country behaves.

I’m going to keep posting this. Do the right thing

@reguile1 @hamandcheese And to justify it, they lie about immigrants in exactly the way Hitler lied about Jews, and towards the same totalitarian ends.

[Nick Weininger @qubit_sf]

@reguile1 @hamandcheese The way ICE is doing it, it certainly is. They are kidnapping and disappearing peaceful mothers and fathers who never did anything substantively wrong, and assaulting protesters who object to their evil behavior.

@hamandcheese You and your cohort rationalized yourselves into supporting a Know-Nothing Nazi goon squad because you thought they would remove barriers to innovation. Where do the normie resistlibs who were 100% right about your simping for fascism go to get our apology?

@TheFP The idea that the author of "Masters of War", "Only a Pawn in their Game", and "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" lacked leftist political commitments is... something.

@avidseries The big difference (vs say 5 years ago) is that Even in Liberal San Francisco (tm) there was such immediate, strong, and cross-ideological pushback that they pulled the proposal very quickly: https://t.co/NsogEgekBH

@nayafia @jhanatech Interesting. Fwiw I struggle to understand how "sparking sensations in your body by thinking/meditating" is even a thing. I don't even know where I would start with that "spark a pleasant sensation" instruction.

@tracewoodgrains Curious that Russia does no better than us, given that "Russian Math School" is a popular brand for accelerated private math enrichment classes where I live. Post Soviet decline or was it just overhyped all along?

[Nick Weininger @qubit_sf]

@ProfDBernstein Real US values are universal humanist values, and universalism is what makes us great. Globalist cosmopolitanism is the noblest and fullest expression of American patriotism; provincial nationalism is inherently unpatriotic and un-American.

[Nick Weininger @qubit_sf]

@GarettJones Correct response to this is that the US *is the world* in the sense that what makes us great, indeed exceptional, is precisely our universality and indispensability to the cause of all humanity.
(this goes well with your "must innovationmaxx the I7 for humanity's sake" stance)

Man from Denmark studies abroad in Starkville in HS. Meets American girl. Gets married. 4 kids. 1 more on way. Forgets to fill out 1 form 10 years ago after a stillbirth.
Trump's goons shackle him. He's been in a cell for 1 month awaiting deportation. 🇺🇸

A particularly important point when the government is actively ejecting said resources from the country - even the law-abiding, highly-educated ones.

If the dead democrats had retired last cycle this would've failed

[Kim-Mai Cutler @kimmaicutler]

This is obnoxious. We have small kids and flu/COVID usually takes part or the whole family out for weeks every winter.

Families should have the choice to do whatever is right for them, not have their choices taken away by the government. https://t.co/2ZmIjbioCu

@tracewoodgrains Sadly par for the course for the country that gave the world "you think decentralization and freedom to secede are good for pluralistic institutional flourishing? watch us yoke them to chattel slavery and segregation"
