I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

DC recently granted noncitizens the right to vote in local elections. 210 Republicans (all present) and 56 Democrats (see below) voted to block DC's ability to administer its own local elections in that way. Republicans don't believe in self-rule for DC. Dems shouldn't join them.

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment. Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

Correct. This is superficially similar to the 1960s. (I was there.) This is more like 1933. (Reichstag fire.)

confidently and quickly answering questions requiring short-term memory with plausible, detailed, yet false information is a pretty common FTD trait (among other things this could be, not trying to promote tunnel vision here)

The population of Greater Los Angeles is larger than the population of fourteen full STATES, COMBINED. 200 protestors on 3 blocks is not a fucking insurrection. We have film shoots for Nickelodeon bigger than this.

An HSI federal agent pointed a rifle with live ammunition at a protester and was taunting him. We're at the point where protesters may be shot and killed by ICE.

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house." The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

If Cuomo wins I doubt it’s a walk. Mamdani is popular; Cuomo isn’t popular enough; and there are a lot of people who say they’ll vote to keep Cuomo out.

"it's bad that they're waving all those mexican flags because it makes them look like a teaming horde that outnumbers us dwindling yankees" does unfortunately describe a lot of people's reaction to the images coming out of LA which is why more white people should go out and bring some 🇺🇲 with them

Only a matter of time until the chickens come home to roost & actual terroristic violence erupts from the closely allied white separatist ethno-religious terrorist communities on the West Bank of the Hudson, beyond the 2nd-class citizenship already imposed on the non-religious by venal NYS pols.

There's a certain type of pundit that is utterly useless in recognizing and responding to white authoritarianism. If we want good coverage and understanding of today's politics, turn to letting the most marginalized speak and explain the historical precedent. The dudes from the Ivy League are lost.

‼️ This is absolutely absurd. Trump is actively manufacturing a crisis. The Pentagon just announced that he’s federalizing another 2,000 California National Guard troops bringing the total to 4,000, plus 700 active-duty Marines heading into LA. This is a military occupation, not public safety.

James Baldwin: 'A cop is a cop. And he may be a very nice man, but I don't have time to figure that out. All I know is he's got a uniform and a gun. And I have to relate to him that way. That's the only way to relate to him at all. Because one of us may have to die.'
