This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.

when nasty little worms like this talk about getting canceled what they mean is getting yelled at online. that’s the stakes for them. none of these freaks ever lost a job for being hardcore transphobic. get fuckin real

For every doll you deny me I will push another jet off an aircraft carrier

To save runaways from slavery who were trying to make lives in the North “illegally,” local Vigilance Committees formed. They kept watch for slave catchers, secreted away those in danger, and posted placards that outed slave catchers, sometimes hounding them till they left town.

yeah i am pretty much on the side of primary everyone

The Canadian election result shows that the 2024 US election might have gone very differently if American voters could somehow have known in advance what it would be like to have Donald Trump as president

"ICE is a rogue federal agency operating with impunity-destabilizing families, terrorizing neighborhoods, and eroding the very principles of justice it claims to defend. What happened yesterday ... is not an accident-it is the deliberate outcome of a system sliding deeper into authoritarianism."

so, arresting judges should be more than enough reason for complete obstruction at in the house and senate. complete obstruction. anything you can do. interrupt proceedings, deny consent, holds on nominations. everything.

I think we should raise the salience of this.

The FBI just arrested a Wisconsin circuit court judge for failing to assist ICE to its satisfaction in their kidnapping of a human being out of court custody and into a death camp. Any attempt to soften the reality of that statement is fascist propaganda.

my endorsement for any democratic presidential candidate who promises to send the entire DOGE team to prison

If you take anything away from my post, I hope it's this:

there really is no alternative to tearing up CBP and ICE root and branch

Beyond parody headline in the NYT. Can't decide whether they're deliberately trolling us at this point, or whether they need to fire all their headline writers.

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.

Sorry to get political but I think we should pay people to check for poop in our food

That would be a perfect opportunity for the Democratic Party in the role of a shadow government to re-create the previous COVID website and to direct its voters there.

incredibly important that he and everyone else frame it that way. we do need to fight for Abrego Garcia but we also cannot let that be the end of resistance against this lawless historic crime occurring at the behest of a Republican junta.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

We've got Bill Kristol saying abolish ICE and standing up for trans people, David Brooks quoting the communist manifesto, and Sen. Van Hollen forcing a dictator to give proof of life of a hostage in a death camp. Meanwhile, Dems like Newsom are doing podcasts with fascists. Make it make sense.

let’s look back at what has happened so far Cory Booker giving a 25 hour speech: everyone loved it, raised his profile Van Hollen flies to El Salvador and meets Abrego Garcia: everyone loved it, raised his profile Schumer publicly caved: everyone hated that just a general note to Dems

It shouldn't matter if Trump’s victims have criminal records. If we only defend the “innocent,” the fascists will argue that their victim “was no angel.” An anti-fascist rhetoric that carves out exceptions for imperfect victims is a gift to our opponents. New from me for @us.theguardian.com:

Lisa Murkowski: “We are all afraid.” “Retaliation is real”. Oh, really? GOP senators helped create this monster and now they’re too chickenshit to stop him.

oh there aren’t any true fascists well but there are so few fascists well but they aren’t ALL fascists how can you say “fascist” about millions of people ok they do talk fascist but they can’t act fascist ok maybe they can but I’m sure they won’t you saying “fascist” made them be fascist

meanwhile, prominent pundits continue to deny that there the administration adheres to a segregationist ideology

🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

eating an envy apple for breakfast and it is *delicious*. s-tier apple variety. thank you new zealand apple scientists

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

I hate to be that guy, but this is the five-alarm fire, and every elected Democrat and frankly, every Washington reporter should be ringing the bell. If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. Nobody with a voice should give this administration a moment’s peace about it.

This isn't going to end until the judges start holding lawyers and DOJ officials in contempt and throwing them in jail. Even that might not end it, but there's no point trying to delay the inevitable. They're just getting bolder and more destructive as they go.

While there is a lot to say about this image, the thing that stands out to me the most - what IMO makes genAI a specifically right wing phenomenon - is the craving for approval. It is not enough to be able to generate robot lingerie warrior lady. They NEED to also be praised for doing it.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Vegetarian dish this week - tostadas with refried beans, caramelized bell peppers and onions, cilantro cabbage slaw, and non-fat plain Greek yogurt.

I still think about this tweet sometimes

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

I wrote in November that a lot of people voted for a headcanon Trump that would fulfill all of his “good” promises instead of the ignorant sadist who actually exists and made all those “bad” promises, and well, here we are www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The most important thing you must share today. Trump is destroying your life savings and ability to make a living for 1 reason: he wants to make us all beggars who bow to him, his donors and his family. Not sure why @chrismurphyct.bsky.social hasn’t posted this here but can’t be posted enough.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

We need A LOT MORE PEOPLE in our groups, campaigns, doing mutual aid etc... Bring your nerdy, cringe, loser selves. Revel in being uncool. Join other people who are doing things in community [mostly quietly and without fanfare]. We need many more people.

Good. This isn't rhetoric or hyperbole: On the current trajectory there is simply no way the United States survives a full Trump term as any kind of recognizable liberal democracy. Thinking about how to beat him in 2028 is a waste of time; it will be too late by then.
