God I miss the Haunted Forest.

The world at large shrugged its shoulders at Rwanda. France literally handed over people under their protection to the Interahamwe, knowing full well they'd be killed on the spot. Belgium actually had soldiers get killed by Rwandan military, and did nothing. The world went to very incredibly great lengths to make sure that they didn't have to get involved until after the genocide was nearly complete.

This is kinda where I'm at. I don't like unhoused people having to rely on religious charities, BUT I won't turn help away just because it's not from the "right people."

I propose we lower Texas enough to flood the Great Plains and revive the Ordovician Sea.

Let's not forget that he's an explicit Christian Dominionist.

I'll second the last bit. I've got too many friends who bought their houses and they're so insanely worried about "well what if the paint color on the outside makes people not want to buy the house" or whatever. That's (hopefully) a problem that's years and years in the future, and you shouldn't have to worry about it. Don't worry about how other people might see it - it's your house, and you should do things that please you. Always wanted a bright pink bedroom? Go for it.

It won't. Russia ABSOLUTELY needs those people because they've thrown hundreds of thousands of able-bodied men (and, reportedly, a lot of less-than-able-bodied men as well) into the meatgrinder for this war. That's part of why they've taken the old imperial strategy of deporting a LOT of the people in conquered areas to areas away from the fighting - it's part to get them out of the way, but also part to divorce them from that area, and make it a HELL of a lot harder to get back there (if there's even a "there" to go back to).

In other words, "we know we shoved you and your family into a bus at gunpoint and dumped you in Siberia, but if you wanna go home, you'll need to find your own way. Also don't forget rent is due the 1st."

And this is where Unitary Executive Theory gets you. Trump has been sold on the idea of being a complete autocrat for years now, and we shouldn't be surprised when he acts as an autocrat would.

No no, it's capitalized, so it's referring to the country of Türkiye and just hasn't caught up with the name change.

Sec 8 is hard in a lot of places too. Most times you get stuck with the most dogshit landlord in the most dogshit apartment building in the most dogshit area of the city.

And all because none of his actual children give two shits about Apartheid Daddy.

Actually, the trains aren't moving faster. I don't think there's a single significant span of passenger rail rated for more than 60mph in the US.
