the era of neoliberalism is over, and realpolitik is dead. you have to grow a spine. you have to have morals. you have to have red lines. you have to develop a sense of right and wrong that is not based in pragmatism or law, but in your heart and empathy for your fellow man. then, we can win

Since red states love borders and authoritarianism so much, why not build a wall around themselves and leave blue states alone? Is it because they need blue state tax dollars to subsidize their lives?

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Everyone keeps talking about Stephen Miller's hairline in high school, but one time my friend went with him to Disneyland and his dad had to stuff a bunch of folded napkins into his sneakers just so he could ride with his friends and I feel like that explains a lot more about this whole situation.

This corrupt dipshit voted to confirm Noem and just voted for the crypto scam bill which allows banks to invest in that rancid garbage and ensures crypto scammers get paid before retail depositors when the bank inevitably goes bankrupt. Literally handing citizen’s savings to fraudsters.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

Let me get this straight: They hate Iran because it’s a theocracy. Meanwhile, the GOP’s dream is to turn the U.S. into one. Is this foreign policy or just theocratic success envy?

It is bizarre the way people with guns, bulletproof vests, riot shields, tanks, and other military gear act like rocks are an equal threat. It’s madness! If you are scared of rocks and think the punishment for having them thrown at you should be death, you shouldn’t be in law enforcement!

If you are dumb or naive enough to believe the grifters on the right who tell you they’re oppose to immigration because it drives down wages for native-born workers, just ask them 1) if they support raising the minimum wage and 2) how come the GOP doesn’t? Go ahead.

After seeing the Padilla footage, how confident they are to just do it so openly - because nobody is doing anything - I think we all better prepare to see some serious catastrophe in the news sometime in the next few weeks.

Guess who was right in the thick of the assault on @padilla.senate.gov? Corey Lewandowski. (He may have been the guy instructing that there's no recording at a press conference and seems to have realized how badly they fucked up.)

Think of ICE as one of those crooked Florida police departments in small towns that pulls over thousands of drivers on I-95 for any reason to meet quotas for tickets. Stephen Miller has given ICE quotas for arrests and they will meet those quotas whether the arrestees deserve it or not.
