- Can you imagine a bunch of white guys in a rock reggae band called the Police releasing a song telling a sex worker to get off the streets in 2020
- Every time I learn a new fact about how US government agencies treat hungry babies and their parents I feel like tearing my hair out. (via @JessGrose)
- It is so infuriating to hear people say there wasn’t or isn’t time to process enough special visas for people leaving Afghanistan under duress. Visas and processing times are a choice.
- Love Bernie’s author photo for the Guardian’s opinion page
- This looks like the preamble to an ISIS beheading
- Since I wrote a whole damn book on the subject, I thought I’d share some informed observations on here about wealthy Russians avoiding sanctions or disappearing behind second and third citizenships 🧵
- Someone please tell this Williamsburg boutique who Martin Heidegger is
- Internationalist Bernie is the best BernieBREAKING: @BernieSanders just told the #PeoplesVaccine rally that he's writing to President Biden to call for the United States to support waving intellectual property on Covid-19 vaccines at the World Trade Organization.
00:00 - Replying to @atossaaraxiaIn short, the sale of citizenship is unlikely to go away forever because of this crisis. That’s because countries make their own rules about who belongs. If you don’t like it, maybe time to rethink countries ;) You can also read my book!
- Replying to @atossaaraxiaAnecdotally, all the people who matter in Russia acquired second citizenships years ago (and not necessarily through one of these investment programs). Any new measures to curb passport sales will trap small fish, not the sharks.
