A question I keep running into in U.S. politics isn’t “how much immigration,” but:

What does “American” mean?

Two definitions keep colliding:

• Civic/legal: citizenship (birthright + naturalization), equal standing under law.

• Inherited: ancestry/“stock”/a cultural baseline treated as the “real” nation.

My hypothesis is a recurring pipeline:

definition → orgs → policy templates → campaign messaging.

A compressed throughline:

• 1937: Pioneer Fund is chartered with “heredity/eugenics” + “race betterment” language (nation-as-bloodline stated explicitly).

• 1980s–90s: records/reporting describe Pioneer Fund grants to FAIR (often summarized ≈ $1.2M).

• 2023–25: Project 2025’s Mandate for Leadership functions as a coalition transition blueprint; contributors include people tied to FAIR/IRLI/CIS.

• 2017–present: Miller isn’t the origin—he’s an operational connector across the enforcement ecosystem (incl. AFL overlaps/distancing).

Two Ohio snapshots of “who counts” politics:

• “Replacement” framing in candidate messaging (“End the Replacement of Ohio Workers”).

• Open boundary enforcement (Coulter: “I wouldn’t vote for you because you’re an Indian”; Fuentes urging a block on Vivek).

Question: is this a traceable continuity—American = inherited membership—moving through institutions into everyday politics?

Or am I linking separate arguments that only look connected from 30,000 feet?

What to do? My wife contributes to her sister’s flight to visit because it’s more “expensive”(wife doesn’t work), then the sister turns up rocking a iPhone 17 air, oh and pays for fuck all while she’s in my house. (Including the hire car, “because she can’t cope with driving on the other side of the road” or paying for her own car hire.

#asknostr is this as fucked up

My mother fucking hates the sister in law, so this will be fun to raise when discussing “state of the nation” with her.

Question for the writers here: When drafting professional pieces (articles, essays, short stories), what is your go-to format? Do you stick to Markdown, Rich Text, or standard Word docs? Thanks in advance!

Artists and musicians (even major, mainstream ones) used to be revolutionaries. Not afraid to take risks, take a stand. Now they’re all risk averse, sheepish.

What happened?

For instance, Nina Simone was a rockstar and revolutionary. She once said

“An artist’s duty, as far as I’m concerned, is to reflect the times.” She did that, paid the price often, but kept at it.

How do we stop paper Bitcoin?

Do you keep your phone plugged in overnight, or nah? I’m on team “nah” 😂

Any 2024 or 2025 Bitcoiners here on nostr?

How many dots do you see?

okay big question here should I watch Troll so I can watch Troll 2? (Not 90s Troll 2 that’s already an all time fave).

Stocking stuffer ideas for wife?

Xmas gift ideas for bitcoiners?

GM #nostr - Bit nervous about getting up and doing stuff today as my back went bad on me three times yesterday and I had to lay out, once at a mates, once at church and once at another mates. Bloody awkward, and embarrassing having to lay down on the floor and wait for ten or 15 minutes.

Apparently chiropractors are my best bet. Anyone else think they're worth the money? I'm still wary of paying someone to turn me in to a piece of living origami.

Brave is so unstable for me atm, always crashes when a popup window opens like nos2x or bitwarden, so annoying.

Also it just fails to open websites after a while and i have to restart it otherwise it just gets stuck loading forever, what a piece of shit...

Are there any good browsers?

Can someone explain what nostr:nprofile1qqs27vuc5hrf8q0d42ygzqywx99axr54azewn2lkggctys7n709mkcqprpmhxue69uhkzapwdehhxarjwahhy6mn9e3k7mf0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcvsunp8 is and how it works?

Now what?

Calling the "gardeneres" of NOSTR!

Help, please?

Has anyone built a “stories” feature on any nostr client?

This is definitely not an asknostr question... nostr:npub132ns73pnz2w6mdcnxzkgna3t2dx25gq2nulwxjdq7jj4jvrn6xnqup8cn4 even a lot of actual questions on nostr aren't fitting for asknostr imo

Quantum threat: existential or nothingburger?

You ever just look at your partner and even though you’ve been with them for a long time now and should be used to it, just get completely mind blown that they’re with you? 😂🥰

Okay okayyy…I’m having an extremely dumb moment and need help

So..women…have vagina doctors called gynecologists/OBGYNS

And men…have what exactly?

What I’m trying to ask: is there a dick and balls equivalent to an OBGYN and what is that doctor called?

Will you disavow fascism?

Will YOU disavow communism?
