the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

the entire political project of the american right is to create a hierarchy with protected in-groups and punished out-groups. there is no moral nor political upside in meeting them half way on any of those out-groups. the only people in a bubble are those who deny that hierarchy is their agenda

With all the concern about what messaging app was used by our leaders, I'd love it if we also considered that we dropped bombs on a civilian apartment building and killed 53 people. Some number of whom were children. If another country did this to the United States, we'd call it a war crime.

Innocent people — undesirables, political dissidents — are being sent to camps here and abroad. A scapegoated minority is being persecuted, made an example of. Wrongthink is being stricken from government institutions and civil society. There is no more "if" authoritarianism arrives. It's here.

I feel like you can support Trump’s wicked immigration policy, OR celebrate St Paddy’s day, but you can’t do both.

I think the Democratic Party should be led by people who think the Republican Party is bad. Try it for a bit and see what happens, you know? Just to mix things up a little.

It’s so interesting to see these urgent exhortations to reestablish decorum. I have not seen evidence of a “coarsening” of American society. If anything, the opposite: I’ve seen thousands of individuals asserting their humanity and protesting the indignity of the system UHC profits from.

the clear sign that they just don’t see these kids as real people is the endless concern over hypotheticals and the indifference to the reality that actual children are more likely to kill themselves because of these bans

A few things you can do in your community: - support efforts to reduce police presence, especially in school, hospitals, and traffic enforcement - use foia to see how many people your sheriff is sending to ICE - prevent the county jail from renting space to ICE

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting. Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

please remember and inform others that ICE cannot search a home, business, or other non-public part of an indoor space without a JUDICIAL warrant SIGNED BY A JUDGE. if they show you an ADMINISTRATIVE warrant from DHS, that does NOT give them access.
