I doubt they did any such thing. Ryan is just trying to shore up his constituency and act like he gives 2 fucks about them. Which given what he wants to do to their “entitlements”, is a vast exaggeration.

I wish. But knowing how things are going, he’ll be there when everything falls to pieces and we’ll be in for more of the New Ayn Rand Deal for all our retirement needs.

Yes let us now ignore the 60 some-odd million people who, in spite of being full adults and all, chose to actively fill in the bubble for this administration...

Yeah! Like a regular cholesterol check-up or pap smear or what have you. That’s a good idea. It could really help normalize mental health care as well which god knows we could use.

I always thought there was something creepy about certain corners of pseudo-evolutionary bio.

Unless by ‘white’ they mean ‘goblin’. Yeah, I’m with you. It’s pretty hard to see how people talked about Michelle Obama, an incredibly gifted, accomplished person who did some really good things in her time as first lady, and be like ‘ah well, racism is over in the u.s. boop boop’.

They can take away my tomatoes and coffee and chocolate after they’ve killed me but not any sooner.

Ah yes, the perennial out-of-towner, always convenient. I’m so glad to see he’s getting pushback.

In the Irish as well if I’m not mistaken, and they were poor when they came to the US and thus not white, up until recently...so selective, these supremacists, really.

Really? Can you point us towards the evidence, because that would be one interesting story.

Hah-yes. From Europe. And I am also white. I was going to mention that but I thought it seemed obvious.

Agh that’s terrible. My spouse is not American and we live outside the US but I guess I woulda just assumed that people who have been admitted to university would have just cause for entering the country...my husband never had any trouble when he was working in the US. Just the pits.

ugggggh. welp, thanks anyway.

Harris-Duckworth with a side of Franken.

Do any legal eagles know

Rly?? Dang, I had no idea. I thought people would have some security by the time they actually got here. That’s terrrrrible.

Anecdotally, I heard from a Bosnian woman on twitter who had a friend visiting from Bosnia-who got all the way to Chicago only to be told that her travel visa, which she obtained to see family members for a couple weeks-would not be honored. IDK how widespread this is but do you have any idea how much of a sacrifice…

Thaaat’s the spirit! Ha. I don’t think that people’s kids always replicate their political beliefs. that’s the hope...

Yeah, other than that we actually have a lot to lose.

Woof. Hell of a backlash we’re looking at right now. I want to believe the people who say that it’s the last flameout of this way of viewing the world but I’m afraid it might not be...
