AOC nails this.

I don't think Jewish history offers clear moral lessons absent interpretation, and I don't think trauma brings moral clarity. That said, I do not know how someone can look at Jewish history and think, "I should publicly helping armed agents of the state arrest vulnerable people to make propaganda."

Gulag Archipelago, but with concentration camps scattered throughout rural America, run by Trump-friendly private prison companies, and paid for by your tax dollars.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are disrupting a breakthrough cancer treatment so they can fund tax cuts for billionaires. Tell your friends.

Wanna-be Emperor Trump has fired almost all of the federal workers who do workplace safety. The notion that Trump, he of the gold plated toilet, is pro-worker is a giant fucking pant-load.

Where’s today’s Fred Koremstsu ?

We are way beyond “what the fuck” here.

#TeslaTakedown Route 22, NJ, about 250 people, lots of passing cars and trucks honked in support.

Hey, seriously, the richest fucking guy in the fucking world is trying to destroy the federal agency that has stood up to his company on behalf of workers. This isn’t “efficiency.” It is a takeover of our government by a vindictive billionaire baby, bent on revenge.

This is a brilliant essay.
