just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

I truly believe we will look back at this attitude as the sickness of our political era. It is an extremely basic fact, and has been for decades, that the vast majority of political violence in the US is committed by the right! You cannot solve a problem if you refuse to identify it.

Democrats have never treated the courts as seriously as conservatives and that's why we are where we are. They should be doing everything possible to gum up the works. They are not. So fuck 'em.

All of this, every bit of it, traces back to the failure of the U.S. government to invest in public education for decades and expecting overworked and underpaid educators to make up the difference.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Don’s right. Trumpism not just permits, but demands, overt hostility to a wide array of American values, institutions, culture, and people. Trumpism hates much more of America than it loves.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

In writing, Trump's judicial nominees have all signaled their support for his election denier conspiracy theories, and their willingness to end birthright citizenship. But Senate Democrats didn't challenge the nominees on these answers when they had the chance. Most of them didn't even show up.

Notice how wealth class media will spend years normalizing authoritarians, giving them the benefit of the doubt, and if someone who is even considered remotely leftist and wants to help people gains momentum they'll change every rule, twist history, and attack them relentlessly.

Political violence in this country is overwhelmingly a right wing phenomenon. Much is expressed in religious, even messianic forms. The media has collectively failed to cover this for a long time..as well as failing to cover the permission space created by mainstream RW figures from DJT on down.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

One of several reasons I have trouble approaching these trans political issues with much “nuance” is because once you even briefly ignore any of the “debates” around minors’ healthcare, the reality is shockingly simple which is they, mostly the entirety of the GOP, is coming after these families…
