It could, in theory, if he succeeds at his plan of eliminating birthright citizenship.
Not European, but on my mom’s side, my mom is only an American citizen because she was born in the US, while my grandparents didn’t become naturalized until a little bit after. So that sort of thing terrifies me.
Even numbers are the purest numbers. Perfectly balanced. Most odd numbers are flawed but can be made perfect together.
Primes, though. Primes can fuck right off no matter what.
My experience is more “feels” than fact I suppose, but I’ve always seen it that any adjective or noun playing adverb to another adjective or participle should be hyphenated to the word it describes.
Red-hot coals (coals that are hot to the point of being red)
Red hot coals (coals that are both hot and red)
Ruby-red shoes (shoes that are as red as rubies)
Ruby red shoes (ruby shoes that are red)
Smooth-talking rogue (a rogue who talks smoothly)
Smooth talking rogue (a smooth rogue who talks)
Bamboo-eating panda (a panda who eats bamboo)
Bamboo eating panda (bamboo is eating a panda)
I’d like to stay optimistic and hope they did as well, though if my own experience is any indicator, there’s equal chance they fell into the pit of “Maybe climate change is real, but it’s not that bad/it’s better for me.”
True, another valid point.
No, he wants to pull a Reagan part 2 and fire any government worker who goes on strike. Trump has an army of loyalists willing to do whatever he says, who would be more than happy to scab any strike to inefficacy. Even if they’re terrible at the job, all that matters is that they’re loyal.
No, you don’t get it, this is his fault (and Harris’s). Genocide Joe, right? We sure taught the Dems a powerful lesson.
I meant more that I know there were other protests outside of the Boston area, too, mainly driven by university students with concerns about similar happening in their communities.
I barely know my neighbors, so I don’t think I’d recognize one if I saw them, and a lot of folks including myself were masked up, so I don’t think anyone would recognize me in a photo either.
Also just need to say that AOC quote is good, but also that “Yankee” is a dirty word here around Boston, haha.
I went to the one in Somerville near the university, was pretty lively. Couldn’t stay for the whole thing, but it was helpful to have a reminder that this is a community of like-minded folks who don’t take this sort of thing sitting down.
Once upon a time, I would have thought this sort of thing unthinkable around here. This is practically my backyard.
They’re targeting northern states on purpose.
Weird that it would be coming from Americans given how often US media has depicted the importance of the homefront during the various wars that America has participated in.
Militaries still need food and supplies to operate, so someone has to be making/raising/growing all of that stuff. And those workers need to be paid, accommodated, and kept happy, so every other industry like banking, education, healthcare, entertainment, etc. needs to keep running at full steam to prop up all aspects of the supply chain.
Guessing the Supreme Court ruling last year against Colorado undid all that. Since they ruled that states cannot make decisions that impact federal elections, it wouldn’t surprise me if the fed can now legally demand voter registration records or else refuse to count those votes.
Thanks, Trump.
More than just the ones in America, I’d reckon.
Normally I’d be the one to say this is an unfairly harsh take, but when BYD is continuing the proud Chinese tradition of using slave labor to make cheaper products than the competition, I’m inclined to say that maybe they should be off the table as well.
Maybe EVs shouldn’t be as affordable until the industry is actually sustainable. I’d rather buy a vehicle made by union workers who are paid fairly for their labor, even if it’s more expensive.
Ah, so this is why the news this morning was randomly reporting on Abercrombie’s “comeback” featuring totally real and not-at-all astroturfed Tiktokers talking about how hip the company is again while putting on makeup.
Gotta control the narrative however they can.
That’s basically his entire stance on Ukraine, at least. He parrots the Russian stance that the war is Ukraine’s fault, because they could have just rolled over and given up after a few days.
Man, we’re going to have people in 100 years cursing Putin this way too, huh?
I don’t think it’s building materials that is the question, but rather the multi-million dollar machines that are often designed and imported from elsewhere.
Those fancy Bosch assembly lines your widget factory needs will be hit by that 20% tariff coming from the EU, even if the building they sit in is made of American brick and lumber.
