U.S. Politics

I'm sitting in Sustainability in Design lecture right now. Topics so far have been about Zoo ethics and general sustainability and activism.

Lot of passion and progressive takes. Lot of critical thinking.

However.

Cannot take a lot of it seriously when we're debating the ethics of keeping a housecat vs... y'know.

This thread. This world.
 
We're at the point where the Supreme Court of the United States is saying that United States citizens can be stopped at any time, for no reason at all, and held until they can prove their citizenship. Under a regime that has been repeatedly found to violate constitutional rights related to people proving their citizenship.

Which means the Supreme Court just shadow-ruled that Trump can detain and remove US citizens that he doesn't like. In case you're keeping score.
 
It's interesting growing up in a localized world where the Ayatollah and Sadam and Kim are awful and violate everything about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but now it's the way forward.

I'm really curious to hear how and when that happened. Was it 9/11 aftermath normalizing all this and dulling people's tolerances? Was it always like this on a razor edge and I just didn't notice?

I'm FAIRLY certain it was also said at some point here that they fully intend to have ICE on hand at polling locations to make sure 'illegals' aren't voting. Which is, you know, totally a thing that would otherwise happen.
 
They apparently vote and vote often.

This is amazing given the rules we had to operate under every time I worked the polls.
