I just wanted to leave this here in case anyone needs a reminder of why we do what we do:

I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

Hold the line, fellow feds. The only thing necessary for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing.

I can't speak for Canadians but I compare it to you have a neighbor you've lived next door to for years. You've watched their kids for them in an emergency, socialized together and stopped to talk from time to time, and wake up to find them ransacking your home.

Elon Musk says we should allow more WHITE South Africans to emigrate to the US. Not South Africans of any other race - specifically WHITE South Africans only.

Because they have been saying for years that "Biden has not done anything for us, and Trump will be tough on Maduro".
So, to my fellow Vennies: suck it.

The biggest lesson of this election for me was the microtargeting of specific groups of people. Be they US born or immigrant every group heard what it wanted to hear or the messenger wanted it to hear. I stopped posting a lot of stuff from the r/leopardsatemyface because they're all variations on the same theme and the sense of betrayal they feel now. And now they're feeling now and having to face the realization that they got played.

By the way there are live poultry markets located in NYC. Gov Hochul just shut them all down due to bird flu.

Cuomo, who has not confirmed that he is running but appears likely to join the race as soon as this month, is in front of the Emerson College Polling/PIX11/The Hill poll with 33 percent of the vote. Embattled incumbent Mayor Eric Adams (D) is in second with 10 percent, followed by former City Comptroller Scott Stringer with 8 percent and a three-way tie among state Sen. Jessica Ramos, state Sen. Zellnor Myrie and City Comptroller Brad Lander with 6 percent.

So far there's TB in Kansas, measles in Texas, and the Orange Menace has forbidden the CDC from publishing any guidelines. I didn't forget bird flu.
