My very first vote was for Reverend Jesse Jackson. May we all walk on the shining path of courage he blazed.

do you know what a rally around the flag effect is? do you think America is the only country to experience the phenomenon? do you think a country with a continuous national identity 1500 years old is gonna be like “hey America, thanks for killing our school children?”

so here’s the thing: 99.97% of companies are going to give LEOs whatever they ask for when presented with a judicial warrant/court order.

I’m not telling you how the world should be, I’m telling you how it is.

so this came up at work and everyone knows my background so they ask. I says to them i says: “google ‘persia map 500 bce -ai.’ “see that? that’s Iran. they’ve had a national identity for 1500 years.”

I look at one of the old heads, “remember what it was like here after 9/11? we only back 250.”

They were right to make me read Edward Said 4 times, and probably Machiavelli, but my film and gender classes probably had a better framework for looking at this Shit

The anti-ICE charge being led in no small part by local-level religious figures who actually read the Bible is quite the twist.

it gets better bc he later clarified his statement to say he meant God has no gender, that this isn’t anything new among clergy or biblical scholars, and that if Cornyn and other conservative ‘Christians’ find this controversial they can try actually reading the Bible
