A federal judge in Ohio ruled against the Trump administration Monday, citing bigoted comments President Trump and Vice President JD Vance made about immigrants.

U.S. District Judge Algenon Marbley ordered the White House to unfreeze immigrants’ benefit applications, citing Trump and Vance’s “outright hostility towards immigrants, both before and after the 2024 presidential elections.” These applications include filings for work authorization and green cards from people in the U.S. from countries including Burma, Canada, Iran, Nigeria, Syria, Tanzania, and Venezuela.

“Their ire appears focused on immigrants from countries in the Caribbean, South America, Africa, and Asia,” Marbley, nominated to the federal bench by President Clinton in 1997, wrote.

    It’s actually impossible for two people to have different opinions about something, no matter how different their beliefs or life experiences are. There are only two reasons a person might disagree with you, either they’re being paid off by sinister forces or they’re a bot.

      I don’t exclude ignorance or poor critical-thinking skills either; though at the end of the day, that’s still enabling of fascism, too.

      Such as the case for when users ignore modifiers like, “Most of the time”

        I’m not ignorant, I don’t have poor critical-thinking skills, I’m not secretly a right-wing extremist or a Russian bot. I’m just fed up with establishment politicians who act like they’re entitled to my vote while doing all sorts of horrible things and treating me with utter contempt and hostility for daring to acknowledge that Palestinians have rights.
