Immigration opponents say the crackdown will translate into more and better-paying jobs for native-born Americans.

As a native born of Turtle Island, I would like to wish all these native-born Americans a nice big “Fuck you.”

Odd. It works fine for me on Android and Desktop Linux Firefox. Perhaps Apple specific?

On the Ukraine front, Russia is definitely still winning. You can check the maps yourself for the high level. I’m not sure where these 10s of miles are that they advancing, but I don’t see it on a map of Ukraine.

On the lower level, the Ukrainian armed forces appears to just barely be holding on. Most of their true believers are dead, and they are increasingly relying on people that they kidnapped. They are taking massive disproportionate casualties, and as we can clearly observe from NATO panic, Russia is winning in the materiel war as well. This is a war of attrition, and Russia is decisively winning. Hell, even the messaging from on high has changed from saying that Ukraine is winning to Ukraine can still win if NATO just sanctions a bit more and sends more guns. This is also not working, and NATO knows that they cannot keep up with even their existing pace forever.

I’m honestly not sure that there is a plan. It’s just racism with a side of exceptionalism. The idea is that the great and powerful US military can bomb anyone they want with impunity, so long as they aren’t a nuclear power. And with the meerest hint of possibility that Iran might become a nuclear power soon, it’s a good time to go bombing again. They’ve been talking for years about how much they wanted to.
