Came here to post the exact same thing. This is a terrible bill, that has been packaged to make people who oppose it look bad.

Asking elected officials what their plan is is not an attack. Jfc, this isn’t a popularity contest, it’s people’s lives.

You are replying to *the* Kelly Hayes with this bs advice.
Maybe give her a google, and then pick up a copy of Let This Radicalize You, before you drop boomer/msnbc copy pasta in her mentions.

My mom didn’t have a plan, and we didn’t have a lot of time to come up with one, so we went with cremation. I didn’t love the carbon footprint of it all, and doing some research afterwards found water cremation. That’s my vote.

highly recommend watching the "beautiful dreamer: brian wilson and the story of smile" documentary from 2004 as it also includes some live performances of the album from that year. brian had a killer band including darien sahanaja from the wondermints www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Sri...

Her post makes complete sense, and only doesn’t if you are looking *hard* to find a reason to yell at AOC.

That’s what I said.

I guess I would just argue that it is their fault.
If you are in the replies of an elected official (who is largely saying the right thing) telling them they need to be tried in Hague, or worse, then you are not a blameless innocent.

It is wildly clear what the meaning is to anyone who isn’t looking to cultivate some rage into their day.

It’s like an army of Amelia Bedelias in these replies.
Learn to read for context, y’all.

These people don’t know how to read for meaning.

She’s obviously referring to ‘violent riots’ in LA. To whip out a gotcha on this one is either disingenuous or a lack of reading for context.

Being in the country illegally is a misdemeanor, technically. Not a felony. It’s the equivalent of a speeding ticket.

I hate to say this, but as someone who drives in downtown Chicago almost everyday, that is probably just some angry local trying to get somewhere. Road rage here is off the charts.

Okay, now do the labor movement, which was famously violent. We all have weekends and 8 our workdays because of organized violence. So, turns out there is no ‘one way’, and every movement needs to sort itself out in its own time.

Even beyond the gross oversimplification of what went on in the 1960s, I feel compelled to add: we don't live in that era. Images of protesters being brutalized do not have the same impact in the 2020s, as you may have noticed. It's astounding to me that this has to be said.

God fucking damn it, YES. Thank you.

When you tell people not to wave their home country flag, you are telling them that these stories don't matter, that what matters most is xenophobic feelings about those stories
When you say immigrants don't have the right to cross these borders, you ignore the debt the U.S. owes the Global South

They are shooting everyone anyway? So this seems very silly.

You are facing the wrong direction, sir. Spin that ire around and push back against the false BS narrative, not the organic uprising of people that are actively being abused and oppressed by the state.

You are literally repeating that talking point by complaining about the aesthetics of a protest you aren’t participating in.
Denying it looks a lot more like ‘there is literally no invading army’ and ‘it is fine for Mexican immigrants + Mexican-Americans to wave the Mexican flag during protests.’

The ‘optics matter’ to whom, exactly?
comment in response to

Again, if you think the protests in Los Angeles ‘play into their narrative’, that is 100% a you problem, because for most of us, it does not. And it isn’t helpful when supposed allies repeat conservative talking points over and over.

Anyone with a brain will know that Southern California has has Spanish speaking brown people, many of who identify with Mexico, living there for generations, quite literally 300 years, and won’t be offended.

Exactly. Not a single Trump voter is going to change their minds about immigrants if they see a brown protester with an American flag. They keep saying ‘optics matter’, but for WHOM? It’s insane.
comment in response to

Not a single MAGA is going to change their minds if they see a brown person waving an American flag, so the real question here is why do the optics of a Mexican flag, an identity millions of people living here have, feels bad to you? Because it doesn’t feel bad to me.
