Both of those accounts limit who can reply.

Another gem:

This may have been posted elsewhere but this is quite horrible. Vintage GOP jumping on a xenophobic impulse veiled in a bad faith security concern.

Targeting nationalities and including Chinese green card holders (which it appears to) in the list of “entities” banned from buying real estate (houses) is totally batshit—they’re the #2 green card holding population after Mexico. And the #2 H1B holding country after India.

Canada has exceptions from lawful permanent residents, and isn’t targeted at particular nationalities.

My fiancé said the Chinese message boards are blowing up with rage over this.

Sounds like the luckiest kid alive.

That’s the sort of thing I say to people who want to push this right-wing talking point. They often shut up because they don’t expect it and don’t know how to respond.

How’s operation ‘Ashli deserved it’ coming along?

If you keep putting it off, they’re gonna forget who Ashli was.

I’m absolutely going to say it if anyone brings her up at the poker table.

I just can’t believe our stumbling block is that you can’t come up a t-shirt design that looks good enough.

I would like something that other people might want to buy. What looks better, one line in smaller font, two lines, one line per word?

Pena ran unsuccessfully in November against incumbent state Rep. Miguel P. Garcia, the longtime Democrat representing House District 14 in the South Valley. Garcia won by 48 percentage points, or roughly 3,600 votes.

My progressive friends never stop talking about how awesome J. Edgar Hoover was, it drives me nuts.

Disclaimer: I would be more inclined to use such a provocative design anonymously (e.g., in social media) as opposed to wearing it on a t-shirt. Seems pretty dangerous.

o/u on percentage of people who have no idea who Ashli Babbit is? 98%?
