spoilerThis is a satirical post. Matt Christman is saying something that a pundit would say to make fun of how out-of-touch pundits are.

This type of visa already existed, Trump just wanted to put his face on it. The EB-5 visa was created in 1990. The EB-5 gave permanent US residence to immigrants who payed $1 million and own a US business with at least 10 employees.

If you read this page on their website. The BDS movement says that they have different levels of targets. There is a "consumer boycott" category which says that you should not buy any products from those Brands. Then there is a "pressure target" category. It explains that a Pressure target is a company that you should "boycott when reasonable alternatives exist".

Inside of the Pressure Target category includes other very large companies: Google, Amazon, Disney. If I understand correctly, Microsoft will also be considered a pressure target, which means that avoiding a Microsoft product is not always possible. Example, many people use Microsoft as an operating system either at home or at work.

The BDS page for Microsoft, which was added to their website today, says "As a consumer, boycott Microsoft products whenever possible." It also gives you a lot of other pressure options, including "send a letter to Microsoft executives demanding that Microsoft end its complicity in Israel’s AI-powered genocide of Palestinians", "join or start a campaign to pressure your university to cut ties with Microsoft by divesting from the company", "pressure your local government to divest from Microsoft", "sign the workers’ petition at: noaa.cc/sign".

You can't even call this a filibuster because no bill was being delayed. This was a 25-hour yap-athon.

In the video, he says "we say to America and Israel, the same thing as this foreign person said" and then holds up the photo of Hasan giving the middle finger to America and Israel.

Full translation stolen from twitter

Welcome, and of course, today's strikes were ten powerful ones targeting Sana'a. There were 72 airstrikes in Sana'a, Saada, and Amran, as well as in several Yemeni provinces. However, America and Israel will not scare us or defeat us. We are used to these targets. They hit these same targets in 2011 and from 2014 onwards. There's nothing new; they are just trying to suppress the Yemeni people.

Why are they striking the Yemeni people? Because the Yemeni people want peace. The Palestinian people asked them to send aid to Gaza, to stop their aggression, and lift their siege. They are killing children and committing all sorts of crimes. The Yemeni people stood against this, which is why they are now targeting the Yemeni people.

But we say to America and Israel, as this foreign person said-he is the one who stood most strongly with Yemen and Palestine. He is the one spreading and revealing the truth. My regards to you, Hasan, and thank you. I have no words to express. My greetings to all the foreigners and everyone who stood with us.

Press Statement of Spokesperson for DPRK Ministry of National Defence

Pyongyang, February 11 (KCNA) – A spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK issued the following press statement titled “We will make clearer our choice of action and mode of counteraction against the U.S.” on Feb.11:

The Los Angeles class nuclear-powered submarine Alexandria of the U.S. Navy entered the Pusan operation base of the ROK on February 10 under the pretext of the rest of the crew and replenishment of munitions.

The first overt emergence of a U.S. nuclear submarine in the Korean peninsula this year is a clear expression of the U.S. invariable hysteria for confrontation with the DPRK, and it is an undeniable threat to the security environment of the DPRK and an instable factor further escalating the military tension in the region.

The U.S. is openly ignoring the security concern of the DPRK.

We express grave concern over the U.S. dangerous hostile military act that can lead the acute military confrontation in the region around the Korean peninsula to an actual armed force conflict and strongly warn that the U.S. should stop provocations stirring up the instability any longer.

The practical reality clearly indicates why a new step for strengthening the nuclear capability and self-defensive power clarified by our head of state recently is just and which way we inevitably advance.

We will not flinch even an inch from the conflicting structure of the outrageous rival state.

To thoroughly contain only with corresponding strength the U.S., the hegemonic entity believing blindly in domination by strength, is the answer the reality is giving and the responding principle we have already maintained.

Our armed forces are strictly watching the frequent appearance of the U.S. strategic means on the Korean peninsula and are ready for using any means to defend the security and interests of the state and the regional peace.

We will make clearer our choice of action and mode of counteraction against our rivals.

The armed forces of the Republic always faithful to the constitutional duty to defend the security of the state will do acts of deterring the factors threatening the regional security environment and unhesitatingly exercise the legitimate right to punish the provokers. -0-

Frogan, Vio, Denims, and Capri are all friends of Hasanabi. I think they're all Leftist. Frogan is a muslim woman and said she hopes that American soldiers get PTSD for helping Israel (based). Vio is comedy twitch stream, but I think with Leftist sympathy. Vio also lives with / is dating Central_Committee (Mike_From_PA on twitter), which is the second largest self-proclaimed socialist news channel on twitch. Denims is a woman on twitch who talks about some Leftism stuff. Capri aka CapriSunnPapi is Palestinian/Lebanese man. Frogan and Capri both have family who live in Lebanon. I think these are actually cool people, not vaushite people.

here's a video where Frogan and Capri talk about their family in Lebanon. They talk about their families being bombed by Israel.

Roe V Wade was overturned before the midterm. This jackass had more than half of his Presidential term to do anything about Roe V Wade. He was the vice president for Obama for 8 years and Obama promised to codify Roe V Wade into law in 2008. The reality is that he doesn't support Roe V Wade or abortion access. He's just lying.

Then, reiterating his position on Roe, he said, “I’ve never been supportive of, you know, ‘It’s my body, I can do what I want with it.’ But I have been supportive of the notion that this is probably the most rational allocation of responsibility that all the major religions have signed on and debated over the last thousand years.”

Biden says that he doesn't support bodily autonomy and that he thinks that religions have authority over abortion access.

The UAW just finished negotiating a new contract with the "Big 3" auto manufacturers: Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis (fka Fiat Chrysler). The contract includes things such as a 25% wage increase for all UAW workers, return of Cost of Living Adjustment, removal of some of the wage tier systems, higher wages for temporary and new workers, bonuses to 401k and pension plans, and the right to strike over plant closures.

The new contract is going to expire on April 30, 2028. Shawn Fain is asking for other unions to prepare for a strike at the same time so that all unions involved will have greater collective bargaining power.

In the longer video Shawn Fain says:

We demanded a longer contract because one of our biggest goals coming out of this historic contract victory is to organize like we've never organized before. When we return to the bargaining table in 2028, it won't just be with the "Big 3" but instead with the "Big 5" or "Big 6".

I believe Shawn Fain is alluding that the UAW is attempting to unionize other car manufacturer companies in the next 5 years.

UAW posted key points of the speech in this twitter thread:
