My ancestors crossed the Atlantic three centuries ago and I am an American in the exact same way as the infant child of undocumented immigrants born here yesterday. There is no difference between us, their right to this country no less than mine. We are entirely equal and I will accept nothing else.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

William Shakespeare was born and also died on April 23rd. Incredible to think he wrote all those plays in just one day.

Okay English lit buffs, I have a quick question: Daniel Deronda starts in medias res and then flashes back a year. This is of course an extremely common device (esp in TV) now, but was this a thing writers were doing a lot in the 1870s?

RFK Jr.’s aunt Rosemary Kennedy was institutionalized and kept away from the family. Her own father never visited and her mother didn’t see her for 20 years. That might explain why Mr. Kennedy didn’t hear these terms when he was a kid.
