  If communism and socialism and whatnot never works, why are you still so fucking afraid of it?

  I mean, Zohran Mamdani is our mayor and so far, we seem to be the only jurisdiction in the US where people feel great about their public officials (or at least one of them. 😉) Zohran's not perfect, but I want more of his socialism since it's doing us so much good in the few months it's been active!

  If Paxton goes after Sense8 I'm going to kick his ass, Hank-Hill-style.

  Basically, I'm watching the Boys on Amazon Prime Video, and it's the best serial Superhero thing I've seen, besting even Marvel.

  Contrary to popular belief, there is such a thing as bad publicity.

  So will I, as long as it's smoked meat…

  Satire is indistinguishable from prophecy at a long enough time frame.

  Trumpy's brain.

  Donald Trump couldn't even pronounce "Acetaminophen" which I could do when I was 6 or 10 years old. His brain is porridge.

  Akene Tendo’s

  I assume you mean the character Akane Tendo from _Ranma 1⁄2, right?

  Native Americans were here the longest, though, and know these lands more than other peoples who arrived later.

  I fail to see how That One Guy has suggested otherwise.

  France will have to pry it from our cold, brown waters.

  You're not missing anything. It's just that I think in terms of the spirit of the statue, NYC represents it more than any other city on planet earth because of how ethnically and racially heterogenous our town is and that is what I meant by that comment. I haven't been to Paris in over 28 years, but I think not even Paris is as heterogenous as NYC (I bring Paris up because there are rumblings from the French in wanting the Statue to be "returned"). I could be wrong though!

  Solidarity

  Timothy "Dark Helmet" Geigner: I may be from your eastern coast rival NYC but I stand in full solidarity with my Chicago siblings against the fascism that Trump is wreaking upon your great town. He's power mad, evil, tyrannical, and exactly the reason why the US was founded. He's playing with fire.

  I feel that for a while at least, the state of Florida was that "sundown state" (it's a lot worse now, and so is the US for that matter).

  You're not alone; I had that same thought, Mr. Coward!

  the words engraved at the Statue of Liberty’s base, which read:

  Give me your tired, your poor Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free The wretched refuse of your teeming shore Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

  I would make the argument that the Statue of Liberty is more representative of NYC than the US at large. We're a city of immigrants and we celebrate each and every one of them (and one of them will probably become mayor soon!). But the US? Naahhh.

  Both things can be true.

  Amazingly, I was thinking the exact same thing. Thank you for posting my thoughts!

  That's not just her problem

  Kristi Noem not admitting fault is probably the least of her problems. Her canine-murdering and her racist crusade against brown indigenous people whether in her (and Tim Cushing's) home state of South Dakota or as secretary of DHS seem more exhibitive of her evil.

  The US Supreme Court will find a way. They always do (well, almost, since Kilmar Abrego García had a trial in the US).
