It is funny that this person thinks “immigrants defended the union while native born whites sought to destroy it in the name of slavery” is an argument against immigrants being Americans. This is precisely the point, nothing about being born here makes you better bsky.app/profile/aphc...

To make my book a bestseller I only need 1 or 2 thousand of you to click a few buttons. So simple and fun! Or, you know, for one of you to click a few buttons 1 or 2 thousand times. Either way is good as far as I’m concerned. (But if one of you does the second one lmk so I can buy you dinner.)

Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 3w agoPreventing some Iranian villagers from getting drinking water does nothing to prevent the IRGC from firing missiles and drones. Water is a red line. I know those of you who hate the US military and US foreign policy won’t care about the difference, but it’s significant, with very bad implications.
production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 3w agoThe US built the greatest talent magnet ever, attracting the smart, skilled, and striving. They’d come to study, then stay and build things here, or leave with positive impressions and fruitful connections. Helped make the US wealthy and powerful. Then America chose to throw it away.
