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!
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.
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.
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.
Basically, he is who the right were falsely scaring people about Obama:
-socialist
-Muslim
-born in Africa
none of which apply to Barack Obama, but all factually and truthfully apply to Zohran Mamdani, and Leftists such as myself are eating it up, because we wish what the right-wing was saying about Obama was true, and now we got that wish granted in Mamdani!
As a trans woman who was born in pride month on the same island/borough/county as Stonewall, this brings me a lot of hope. Thank you for giving me this injection of hopium, Mr. Cushing!
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.

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!
Both things can be true.
Amazingly, I was thinking the exact same thing. Thank you for posting my thoughts!

The US Supreme Court will find a way. They always do (well, almost, since Kilmar Abrego García had a trial in the US).
I think a better translation for that German would be "We Blacks gotta stick together!" or "Us Black People gotta stick together!"

The Writer's Guild contract is supposed to protect against such things.
Koby's celebrating it because he's a MAGA fascist (but I repeat myself).

Or show a movie on the moon!
