Government: “We’re unilaterally importing 30,000 Haitians to Ohio with zero vote of any elected body…but don’t worry, it’s only *Temporary* Protected Status.”
Government (later on): “Some of the Haitians got jobs at local warehouses so they should be allowed to stay forever.”
They found out the most far left newspaper of France, which is by the way most radically against air conditioning

For 1000s of years my dad’s Island Imbros was Greek. In the 20’s, it was still 98% Greek under ottomans. After population exchanges between Christians & Muz, the Treaty of Lausanne guaranteed special protections & autonomy for the Greeks because Turkey wanted to keep it because of its strategic location. Then, Greek schools were closed, property stolen & an open air prison was established in the 60s to allow Turkish violent felons to do what they pleased to remaining Greeks. It’s now 99% Turk & called something with squiggles over the letters.

What a fucking photo.
Hung Cao’s family fled the Vietnamese communists as refugees.
He returns to meet with the Vietnamese communists as emissary of the most powerful empire in world history, acting Secretary of the United States Navy.
It’s like a biblical story. Joseph’s brothers sell him into slavery and he returns to them as the powerful representative of the Pharaoh
Amazing

This is why Mitsubishi invented the mini-split.
If I don’t like Apple’s price hikes, I can take my business elsewhere. I can buy a Samsung phone or a Dell laptop.
On the other hand, if I don’t approve of the taxes Sen. Sanders enacts… I’m screwed. I pay them at gunpoint or I go to prison.
So maybe sit this one out, Bernie.
That SCOTUS had to rule that (i) "temporary" means "temporary" and (ii) "arrives in the United States" means "arrives in the United States" is kind of remarkable
