What should the relationship between Iris and Hermes be like?

This is bullshit, because:

1. You need a TFR (total fertility rate) of 2.1 to maintain stable population (no growth, no shrinkage).

2. UK's TFR is 1.75, so shrinking ~15% per generation.

3. Which means, not enough workers to support the retirees.

4. Net-positive immigration is the only thing propping our economy up.

5.The UK *NEEDS* immigrants, or we're fucked.

This is the truth, unpalatable to racists molly-coddled by generations of crooked right-wing politicians.

@davidtoddmccarty I'm sad to report that that's pretty much the US now if you have the "wrong" skin color.

But I see what you mean: the Bad Ways becoming ingrained at the state level.

Such a great piece.
"His description of immigrants would be better applied to himself: mentally unwell "terrorists" who are "taking over our country." Migrants are not the people who sent a violent mob to the Capitol to overthrow an election and install a dictatorship. Trump did that. There's nothing glamorous or fun about Trump or his crimes. They're just the shabby dealings of an overprivileged fat cat trying to hang onto power he never deserved in the first place." https://www.salon.com/2024/05/31/is-no-outlaw-just-a-grubby-sad-criminal/

8 #Republican senators announced Fri they would boycott #Democratic #legislative priorities & nominations as payback for #Trump’s #guilty #verdict.

In a joint statement, the senators said they would not “allow any increase to non-security related funding for this administration, or any appropriations bill which funds partisan lawfare.”

I walked into our local Christian-owned coffeeshop this morning, and the music they're playing is…the Devil's own. Aerosmith. The Cars. AC/DC. This is what happens when all the baristas are college students.

Good.

@Nonilex
THANK GOD #Biden made a statement to counterprogram Trump's lies about his trial and felony convictions

Now, will the media give #Biden equal coverage?

To those saying "If it can happen to trump, it can happen to anyone.", yes you are correct.

If trump can be held accountable for his crimes, that means everyone can be held accountable for their crimes.

This isn't a flaw or a mistake, it's literally how the law is supposed to work.

Trump is now repeating himself, again referencing the Daily Mail poll and reiterating "the judge was a tyrant."

Trump claims witnesses on his side were "literally crucified". That must have been quite a mess to clean up in the courtroom afterwards.

Your (now twice) weekly reminder that we’re still in a Civil War.

Complicit John Roberts sides with Alito, refuses to meet w/Judiciary senators.

Great line from #AmandaMarcotte in #Salon:

"The regular folks on the #New York streets weren't cheering Trump, but the brave jurors who stood against him. It felt like the end of "#Ghostbusters," when New Yorkers applauded our little guy heroes who saved the city from a demonic apocalypse."

@RickiTarr I am about to pay $200 for an eye exam because it's not covered with my insurance because apparently being able to see is not a "medical issue" ????

Stop calling it a hush money case, you craven complicit media ghouls.

It’s an election interference case.

“average former president commits 1 felony" factoid actualy just statistical error. average former president commits 0 felonies per year. Felonies Don, who lives in cave & commits over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn [sic] should not have been counted

I PROFOUNDLY DISAGREE with those saying it’s a “sad day for America” or we shouldn’t celebrate in the streets.

WE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD!

This is a victory for the RULE OF LAW.

A RICH WHITE MAN has been held ACCOUNTABLE for HIS CRIMES.

Thursday was a GREAT DAY!

America: And so you know, medical care for your bones, brains, and other organs must be in-network.

Me: If licensed specialists aren't available and prepared to work with your insurers where I live?

America: That's fine. You can move eventually, right?

Me: ...um, perhaps I travel for care elsewhere?

America: Well, that's allowed. Sometimes. Actually, it depends. You can apply for a passport! About a third of American foreign travel is medical tourism. See, our system works.

Welcome to the internet, where people post “unpopular opinions” and then get upset that their opinion is unpopular.
