nor should they be. if we are going to be truthful and honor our history as a nation of immigrants, immigrants must rightly believe that they can come here and they can stay as long as they like. there's no reason to do otherwise.
I cannot stress strongly enough that the USCIS website *still* lists the first step of applying for asylum as "arrive in the US," and did not restrict how one did so until a couple of years ago: https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/refugees-and-asylum/asylum/the-affirmative-asylum-process
glad to know there's still some people with a fucking soul in the immigration debate
this should be an absolute no-brainer. social media companies are not the government. of course they have the right to determine what content they want to host on their platform. hell, you don't even have absolute free speech *from the government,* if you're that determined to say racist, hateful, violent shit then maybe rethink your life choices.
this is such a disingenuous take. Texas is not arguing to regulate tech companies. Texas is actually arguing to *prohibit* tech companies from regulating themselves and their content. and, as always, Texas is 100% wrong by every possible metric.
this is such an egregious abuse of power. they won't charge the J6 crew or the MAGAbomber or the countless angry white male mass shooters with domestic terrorism but HOW DARE YOU PROTEST COP CITY?!
as if Trump is better?! like, they know the only alternative is Trump, right? and that Trump has explicitly said he would give Israel carte blanche to wipe Gaza off the map?
no he hasn't, he's just made you nostalgic. if anything, Stewart's return has been a mixed bag of needs-to-be-said ("election day is important but so is the day before and the day after and every day of the rest of your lives") and tired both-sides-ism played for laughs ("sorry for saying what I saw with my eyes").
@dietotaku They can’t expect social media to monitor and control the speech that promotes violence without allowing them to ban those who continue to break those rules. I remember when Rump finally got kicked to the curb on Tweeker. It was way past time for it to happen, it should have happened when he was pumping his worshippers into a frenzy that resulted in 1/6. Shoot, they’ve dumped accounts for a lot less.
@cjcrew the whole reason they're bringing this suit is that they don't want the speech that promotes violence removed because they know it's all coming from their own people. and we all know if this does go through & lefties start posting politically-motivated death threats they're still going to demand metashitter takes it down & bans the lefties. because double standards are the only standards they have.
@dietotaku Yeah I’m sure you’re all right, that’s been the basic MO and they usually don’t change their MO.
