These are crimes. They're committing crimes. And when people understandably protest the fact that they're committing crimes, they're shooting flashbangs at them.

It's bonkers that, after the last decade of American politics, there are still people who think there's any one "right path" & want to silence others We really don't know what works! Maybe it's substantive policy, but it's just as likely that "lol these guys suck" will be effective.

“We have not received any information on why they were detained,” she said. “All we know is that Martir is just a fourth grader who’s by himself, without his dad, without a parent, and just in a place that he probably doesn’t know, so we can only imagine what he might be feeling.”

We desperately need new housing in this country, but I'm increasingly over the YIMBY vs NIMBY thing, because when I see the word YIMBY I think of these guys. Polarization is more important than ever; it's unfortunate that some prominent housing advocates want to pick fights with core Dem voters.

The NYPD and ICE mistakenly arrested a Chilean woman who is a permanent resident in New York City and left her poor frightened 12 year old daughter on the street alone. She was released approximately six hours later. This is the fearful state of America.

So like "Bad Groups" in this formulation includes a large chunk of the Democratic electorate, right? Like if you're a woman, person of color, LGBTQIA+, immigrant, disabled, etc... you're in a "Bad Group" whose political views are annoying distractions under this formulation

The 21st century Dem equivalents of the 19th century Republican lily-whites, who thought Republicans could win in the South if they would just give up "purity tests" around Black civil rights. That gave them a powerless minority of Republicans in safe seats, in exchange for Jim Crow.

expect the FBI to do the same with miscarriages, abortions, and reproductive healthcare more generally. it’s a snitch state for legal health care (at least until scotus bans it all)

Here's a small good thing you can do all month long. Two, actually. 1. Like, share, and comment on any library post featuring Pride books or messaging that's positive. You can influence the algorithm for good. 2. Write a letter to your library board thanking the library for Pride displays.

To all the Latino Trump supporters, when he said that he was going to deport all the criminals, rapists, gang bangers, he meant YOU. Because that is how he sees you—what he thinks of you. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been here, what you’ve contributed. You’re brown, that’s all that matters…

If a Columbia student says something antisemitic about Zionists, it makes national news. Meanwhile, the official account of the Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee can spin fantasies about Jews taking over global affairs, and I haven't seen a single media source touch it.

Tbh at least in Chicago I'd rather see stop sign & bike lane cameras than more speed cameras. If we want to get really controversial, can we talk about automated enforcement of vehicles on the lakefront trails?
