White folks watched a bunch of white folks sack the Capitol and then most of them be pardoned by the head of the white identity party and now we're supposed to listen to other white people pontificate about non-violence...

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

It is because it is practical, clear, everyone knows what it means and the action you are demanding, and it's the basement re what has to happen.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

This is the typical DARVO (deny, attack, reverse victim and offender) playbook of abusers. Trump is the King of DARVO, and this era can be defined by man babies with fragile egos following his lead: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARVO

We’re now seeing paramilitary ICE raids in LA — with full on military garb, military tanks, flash bang grenades & the arrest of a major labor leader. This is a core manifestation of fascism — using federal forces to put down dissent. If we don’t stop this now, this is the future everywhere.

"The NYPD also prevented the CCRB from administratively prosecuting Michael Sher, who was caught in a ... video pulling down a protestor's mask and pepper-spraying him in the face.

Justice delayed is justice denied. At some point we will have to fix this system so that wealthy criminals pay what they owe to society. The lack of justice is destroying America.

Principled positions are rarely broadly popular. Looking at the way conservatives love to dry hump their Santa Claus-ified version of MLK, you might be surprised at how unpopular he was at the time. This is Dem cowardice. Another way to justify throwing trans people on the bus. It won't work.

When Obama and Biden won, Republicans said “fuck them, we’ll break them” and went on to rally their base. When Republicans win, Democrats blame their left and say “we’ll work with Republicans.” And it fucking sucks.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Department of Homeland Security officers invading a congressman's offices and arresting a staffer who tried to stop them is very, very bad. gothamist.com/news/homelan...
