"Chain migration" is the BEST kind of immigration. You want people who move to you country to have a local network and support. You want new immigrants to bring their family, and the economic activity they generate and the value they add to communities to be in YOUR country.

I can't believe we let them use it like a slur. It's good and do it more.

What? They brought their elderly parents? That's good for US and for them (the new American we want to be successful and happy.) RIGHT?

@Npars01 @futurebird you forgot that believes in laws for themselves and laws for others. Too many examples of them accepting behaviour from their own and condemning others. Classic example was the extreme level of corruption and nepotism in the WH.

"One of the ugliest features of MAGA politics is the eagerness to seize on large scale accidents, disasters, and pandemics to spread conspiracy theories, invent new culture-war obsessions, and pit one region of the country against another. ...

It is not a new thing for Republicans to treat disasters in blue areas as less deserving of our collective attention than disasters in red areas."

The Security Council's ceasefire resolution has offered “little hope” in Gaza as Israel’s genocidal attack continues to rage. “We believe the reality around us, not the Security Council,” Huda Amer, a Palestinian journalist in Gaza, tells Mondoweiss.

When we say that Arizona Republicans are coming for your birth control, what we mean is they want all women to take a vow of chastity as punishment for being able to get pregnant.

@lolgop when states restrict freedoms for females it becomes a less desirable place to live. No need to even talk about the increased danger and potential for death.
The educated both male and female will leave or decide not to move there.

That is how things work

In addition to a 17th-century Dutch theologian (Petrus van Mastricht) and the King James bible, one of the authorities cited by Alabama chief justice Parker in his ruling on IVF is the medieval theologian Thomas Aquinas. Parker's ruling cites Aquinas six times.

As someone with an M.A. and Ph.D. in historical theology — from a Catholic university — I know a little about Aquinas. Here are some salient points:

It’s shameful that the US has vetoed UN Security Council resolutions calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza THREE TIMES.

@luckytran US needs to stop all aid and support ceasefire. However, likely will need peacekeeping troops to stop genocide

Today in Labor History February 19, 1912: During the IWW Bread & Roses Strike in Lawrence, MA, 200 police attacked 100 women picketers, knocking them to the ground and beating them. As a result, several pregnant women lost their babies.

Massachusetts militiamen with fixed bayonets surround a group of strikers. Men and women in the front are holding US flags on long staffs. Everyone is dressed in long, woolen coats against the cold winter. The militiamen are standing with their rifles at their waists, aiming at the protesters.
