Just remember, everyone, we need to be bipartisan. It’s really important to work with the guy who thinks the deep state made his brother punch him in the face.

There's a reason ICE agents wear masks in the street. From Kristi Noem's war-crime propaganda to the airport officers harassing innocent tourists, the MAGA deportation regime is not just immoral but increasingly criminal Someday, there must be justice.

I’m told this can’t win because it’s unpopular so the smart play is for Democrats to suck up to conservatives in order to win the votes of 9 bigots who don’t like spray tan.

Two weeks ago I did a thread on how the Founding Fathers declared independence from the crown for behaving literally the same way as the Trump administration. It's getting worse and Americans need to connect today's events to this founding document.

Another question, other than the obvious wage slavery of it all, is... why? Why do we need them mining and refining materials? They'll say it's so they can make the "AI revolution" go faster, but to what end? Why is any of this happening? None of this needs to or should happen.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

I do believe that eugenics is the key to this moment & am even drafting something with a friend about how everything we’re seeing them do today comes down to the idea that everyone else should be in service of the perfect white man they imagine themselves to be

It doesn’t matter if they’re “coming for you next.” Even if your position and your privilege will ALWAYS protect you and everyone you love, it is your job as a conscious human being to fight for justice. That’s just the way it fucking is. You don’t get to abdicate that responsibility.

Anyone who played along with (or even gave legitimacy to) the bullshit assertions these right-wingers ever truly cared about free speech should not be taken seriously. We can’t let “free speech” be used as a disingenuous cudgel any longer.

The chickens haven't really come home to roost yet (everything is about to double in price, tourists will no longer come to the U.S., much worse unintended consequences we don't have the imagination to conceive of) and people fucking hate this shit, generally loathe what's going on. Go on offense.
