This is remarkable. New Quinnipiac poll finds support for path to legalization for most undocumented immigrants has risen to 64%. Only 31% want most of them deported. That's a 14 point net swing for legalization since Trump took office. On immigration generally, he's at 41-57!

Charles Dickens himself would not write villains as dastardly as the ones running the United States

This would've been a daily stormer thread a decade ago. Neo-nazi conspiracy theories are mainstream now.

Pass it on

this is genuinely insane. we’re going to need to jail people involved with this administration

More importantly, if California law enforcement doesn't actively intervene to stop this then they are complicit.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

the deportations are not final. the regime and security forces fuck up constantly. escape and survival are not just possible but probable. this nightmare engine can be fought and is being fought. don't forget.

Things will get worse until Democrats start making the case that immigrants and immigration are good and valuable, and not simply something to be tolerated and managed

The ending makes me tear up every time I think about it.

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

The Nintendo GameCube is older than ICE. Toby Maguire's Spider-Man is older than ICE. ICE isn't old enough to rent a car without an adult to sign for it in some states We don't want it, we don't need it.

He really is the most insufferable kind of know-it-all.

Conservatives have well and truly given up the whole game.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

We have to become the people of Serbia so we don’t become the people of North Korea.

The video of Trump’s deportees arriving in El Salvador is horrific. This is 21st century Nazism. Identities concealed, trafficked to a foreign labour camp. No due process, no evidence of crime. Dehumanised. Where is the global outrage? The crime is historic; the normalisation catastrophic.

Black vets returning from WW2 & sitting with the dissonance of fighting for rights abroad that they had not secured at home was one of many factors fertilizing the soil of the Civil Rights Movement. The struggle for Black liberation is older than the U.S. and will outlast it.

what a terrible time to have the ability to think critically

I think Power of the Dog and Johnny Belinda also lost 11. Emilia Perez set a record for fewest wins for a movie with 13 nominations! (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button held it previously.)

I am trying to hold out hope that they will get what they deserve eventually but even if they do, they are going to do an incredible amount of damage along the way.

Every time I watch a Hackman movie, I'm reminded that he truly was one of the best ever to do it.

I have ZERO regrets leaving a Christian tradition that told me if I didn’t vote for this narcissistic megalomaniac I wasn’t a real Christian.

Currently getting lots of real life cases-in-point of how so much of conservatism is about destroying society and then realizing why it existed in the first place.

The cruelty of Trump’s deportations is an affront to human dignity as a whole. But one of the most disgusting parts is the anti-Christian hypocrisy. Trump makes a commission to address “anti-Christian” actions, while sending Iranian Christians to their deaths. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

Drake’s fall from grace—from pop superstar to rap beef punchline—is proof that we as a nation can turn away from Trumpism with the proper amount of ridicule and grassroots communal celebration I will not be taking questions at this time

Yeah we are at like Watergate x 100, and we are only three weeks in.

Truly never thought they’d go after the Lutherans. Just blazing a path through that “at first they came for the trade unionists” proverb.

Over the next several months, we’re gonna see which pastors were just celebrating Dietrich Bonhoeffer because it was the cool thing to do, and which recognized the narrow way of Jesus when they saw it.

The US constitution was built to avoid centralized power and tyranny. It is not the constitution that is failing us. It is the partisans who have promised to uphold the constitution that are failing us.

The way a Christian layperson or minister reacts to church members now being targeted by the administration, and taken out of the sanctuary … is exactly how that layperson or cleric would have reacted when the Nazis came for the Jews. www.ajc.com/news/georgia...

Surprised that Gladiator II didn't get mentioned as a possible Exceptions/Patreon episode! The way it went from across-the-board contender to one hopeless nomination is one of the flops of the season.

In case @iwriteok.bsky.social ever wants to do a follow-up to their Dr. Phil episode:

Christianity without integrity (2016) Christianity without truth (2020) Christianity without mercy (2024)

One bishop, in one church, literally just asked the president to be nice and him and everyone in his circle been melting down for a week. These aren't strong people. They're very, very weak people. They can be beaten.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

A lesson from the TikTok Affair should be that bipartisan efforts to preserve U.S. national security are vulnerable to the incoming president getting bought off and switching sides for his own personal and political benefit. Not great!

Take notice, Chicago. 👇

I believe this is called murder
