This is textbook fascism where problems are being blamed on a marginalized and powerless minority.
As other previously targeted minorities have become politically necessary to appease, right wingers have found a demographic small enough to abuse without election consequence risk
Donald Trump's criminality unleashed a bitter new phase of American politics.
The Global Entry program is a disaster. The length of time and lack of availability of interviews is absurd.

This is actually false, New York Times. Ex-presidents have never been “shielded from indictment.” There is no “taboo.”
Ex-presidents have always been subject to prosecution for their crimes. Vice-presidents, state governors, and congressmen have all been indicted and even imprisoned.
Only one thing is new here: an incorrigible career criminal became president.
@lucabartoletti @caseynewton nice! And the bot didn't even fall in love with you?
@futurebird @funkula the folksy ignorance of some of these people is part of their appeal to their constituencies
@w7voa why such a long delay? Is that typical?
@caseynewton the post seems maybe a bit technically in the weeds (I'm guessing it's a specific type of testing framework for smart contract devs), but I don't know about insane
In all the writing on the mental health crisis, one thing I don't see well represented are the voices of actual teenagers. How do they describe what they're experiencing and what bugs them?
After 4 kids, I've come to believe that kids want to sleep at night, through the whole night. They don't hate their parents and want to wake us up. Our job is to try to understand what's standing in the way of a good night's sleep.
That's the right mindset, but unfortunately, there's no easy way to figure out the answer.
@freemo What parts of the gun laws do you not support? I have no interest in owning a gun, so I don't know what our gun laws actually are.
Agreed on the property tax, for sure. To some extent, it's "pick your poison" in terms of tax types, but we're in the top 10 in terms of overall tax burden.
People not from Jersey have this impression that it sucks, and people from Jersey love it.
I think it's bc the points of interest in the state are very diffuse. It doesn't have a stand-out center of cultural gravity for the mind to latch on to.
But what it does have is easy access to damn near everything people like.
@trinsec may the odds be ever in your favor!
#protip Don't hang stuff from your doors, unless you've got heavy duty hinges. And you probably don't.
If you don't heed this advice, you're likely going to have your top hinge start pulling out from the door frame.
@nocoursewalks It's so infuriating.
Save all your year-end payslips and tax returns forever. And if you want bonus points, year-end statements from all your financial service providers.
BTW, there should be a service that simply does this.
I hope no one here ever has to withdraw money from a Roth IRA. You can withdraw your contributions tax-free, but you'll pay taxes and a 10% penalty on any gains earned. Only problem is, if you have migrated providers over the years, tracking of which money is which is probably lost. Good luck to ya.
@foxxtrot Ah, searching in DDG wasn't giving me much, but Google is turning up some stuff. In a perfect world, I could find something in the hundreds, around the price of instant hot water dispensers.
