DACA recipients don’t give up their citizenship, they’d still be citizens and presumably have all their documentation, as that’s required for the DACA application. Most of the children of DACA recipients are American citizens, which makes this more tragic and fucked up.

This is standard for many artists when they tour and are using things for merchandise. There are specific parameters of how the phrases have to be used. She’s not trademarking to keep random people from using words in the English language, she’s trademarking to keep people from using her lyrics/phrases associated with…

Thanks for exposing your racism.

This is what drives me nuts when people shout “DO IT LEGAL!!!” We slammed every door we could as far as our immigration policy, then act shocked when people still come in through the windows? If there was a reasonable way to “do it legally” these people would.

Risk algorithms will always fail. He could have also still used a bail bondsman and paid only 10% of his large bond. There is no legal basis why MONEY should be the defining factor in your freedom pre-trial. Yes it’s sad what happened, but there is no difference at all between people who have committed crimes while…

Brilliant move when civilian distrust of the police is at an all-time high. Just keep militarizing them!

Trump would just pardon them. They were only doing their jobs.

It’s weird that you have thoughtfully considered your vehicle’s ability to run over protesters.

For some odd reason, I’m not inclined to take the cops at their word on this.

What’s sad is ignorant shit like this has infected all the way down to the very local level in Texas. My community just held a public comment on letting voters use any polling place (like they can in early voting) rather than requiring people to vote at a particular place on election day, because they were using…

To be fair those other states probably learned more actual history. We had what, a year, maybe two total of world history? That’s plenty of time to cover the start of recorded history-present.

“Yes, it’s true six flags flew over Texas. It’s also true that this company is named Six Flags. BUT IS THAT REALLY THE CONNECTION? IT COULD JUST BE A CONVENIENT COINCIDENCE!” My eyes are about to roll out of my head.

YOU seem to care, a whole fucking lot! Enough to keep commenting endlessly on this thread. Seriously, come on. You were ignorant of the reasoning behind the name, people pointed it out, you got mad and tried to make this an argument about something else so you wouldn’t be wrong. Admit it, own it, move on with your…

...What other reason would they have for naming the park that? Are you implying they wanted to be SIX CONFEDERATE FLAGS OVER TEXAS, but then added the other flags as a convenient cover?

Literally nobody is arguing in defense of the statues or the flags. It is a historical fact that six flags have flown over Texas. You don’t get to say it’s “not real history” because you don’t like that fact, for some reason? I don’t see anyone here arguing that a park founded with a section and flag celebrating the…

I didn’t know the park was originally themed with a Confederate area, and agree the flag should have gone with it. But I don’t understand this person acting like the whole Six Flags thing is revisionist history. I remember learning about it in 7th grade history class, “Do you guys know why Six Flags is called that?”…

You have chosen a really strange hill to die on.

I just used the kitchn’s technique the other day (there is probably a reason it’s the first thing that pops up when you google) with the salt brine, and I am kicking myself for ever having cooked chicken any other way. It cooked perfectly and stayed super moist, and I ended up eating one half that was intended for a…

It’s expensive in terms of time, which families with working parents especially will value differently. I’m cooking for one, and when I meal prep it’s an endeavor of at least an hour every 4-5 days, and that’s just one meal. If I’m cooking beans or lentils, I have to plan ahead when I’m going to cook them and remember…
