Why is Capital Allowing Anti-Immigrant/Pro-Mass Deportation Sentiment to become Policy?

    i guess xenophobia could be more accurately put as "anti-immigration rhetoric". they don't directly vilify immigrants the way republicans do, but they also do nothing meaningful to counter act it. You've got volcel-kamala and "biden" border bill. 8-10 years ago, when democrats talked about immigrants, it was all DACA and Dream Act. now it's "cinch down the border" and "maybe they are eating the dogs and eating the cats".

    thinking of that chart posted here at the very beginning of hurricane season that was explaining how storms get bigger and badder as the season progresses, but even at the very beginning (in July?), we were already at "worst storm of the year" strength, compared to previous years.

    lots of good answers, but nobody has really touched on why the liberalism party is doubling and tripling down on xenophobia. and i, for one, don't have a good answer as to why the "rank and file" of the party would back these ideas. I get that the decision makers at the top are answering to capital, and i think the climate change refugee crisis is certainly a major reason, but why are all the good in-this-house-we-believe libs following suit?

    This month, U.S. security agencies released an unusual statement saying Iranians sent material stolen from the former president’s campaign to people linked to Biden’s reelection team (which later morphed into Harris’ campaign). The statement said there is no sign the recipients responded.

    i like bjj cuz it taught me ways to pain-immobilize someone without doing lasting damage (armbar, rear-naked choke), which has come in handy with drunk friends and such.

    all hexbear's powerposters should logout and create fresh anonymous accounts. there's a weird "cool kid club" dynamic with the same few names controlling the site's culture.

    Besides the annoying intro, I think this is my favorite Nirvana song. or maybe it's just their most punk song. either way, play us off, hexreplybot.
