ABOLISH ICE. ABOLISH CBP. FOR REAL THIS TIME.

that’s right

Trump shut government

I’m no political expert but if Republicans start gutting social security and any Democrat responds with “I understand the need for reform, but” instead of “Social Security is good and works fine” that Democrat should be exiled like a stupid Napoleon

Look I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this but if you’re a liberal and the president is like “We are going to detain and deport this guy for protesting” the correct response is not “Protesting what?”

Ten years ago if you had written a dystopian SF story in which the person in charge of U.S. public health did a press event at a fast food joint to say that fried food is good but measles vaccines cause measles the ghost of Philip K. Dick would have said that you were being too bleak and unrealistic

The whole “vibe shift” thing is going to age about as well as Freedom Fries. Mark my words.

Elon Musk is the most powerful opponent of Americans' right to free speech in the world. Tyrant and a thief. Tesla means tyranny.

This shit is so grim. These guys are grifting like they're stripping the copper wires out of a slowly collapsing building.

Smashing a window at the US Capitol in order to overthrow an election = patriotism. Smashing a window at a Tesla dealership in Des Moines = domestic terrorism.

guys love to say “dude my balatro run last night was insane” then show you a screenshot like this

if we make it through this one thing i know is i don't want to hear another goddamn word about the constitution from conservatives

Hakeem Jeffries is the Michael Jordan of using a lot of words that say nothing

Can we also pause for a sec to acknowledge that the President is doing a favor for his friend with a long history of antisemitism while disappearing a green card holder for supposedly engaging in antisemitism?

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.

every centrist org/pundit/outlet/Dem official that fear-mongered about college kids putting up tents on campus lawns is culpable for this

hey if you're visiting here because Vichy Twitter is down... don't go back! Bad website. Bluesky... pretty good website. At the very least, delete the X app from your phone and set your account to protected (when you can log in and do that again)

Still no official word on his location, afaik.

This is why we must fight for everyone. Whether they’ve been incarcerated or have had contact with the criminal legal system or are merely undocumented. When you accept that some people are deserving of detention and deportation the scope of who is eligible is always under threat of expanding.

Governments shouldn't care this much about what happens on college campuses

The way it works is that you strip fundamental rights from targets with less political support that people will turn their consciences off to justify persecuting and then eventually the state can do it to anyone, that’s always been the plan bsky.app/profile/pbum...

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

The government disappearing a person—no matter what you think of their cause or politics—should be a red line for everyone.

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

If you wrote even one thing about “the chilling effects on speech on college campuses” in the the last 10 years, you better lose your shit over the White House detaining a revoking the legal status of a student because of their political views.

Breaking: DHS detains Palestinian student from Columbia.

My favorite SNL trope is the guitarist during the musical act miming like they’re playing.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

news in america: you will have to drink shit in water. we are going to end education. we will deport you for having the wrong opinion news in any other country:

2014: why are you trying to create a censorious environment for curious intellectuals? 2025: these French fries may deny the holocaust

Honestly can’t wait to watch how much this shit sucks. It’s gonna be camp somehow.

What accounts for phrasing like this? If any other president in modern times had signed an executive order libelling a DC law firm as an enemy of the state, the headlines would be about how he’s a fucking lunatic, the courts were sure to slap him down, and his cabinet was reacting with horror.

I think it’s more useful to use my platform to advocate for what’s true and just than to speculate about how Democrats can win elections.

Movie brain! All of these people have movie brain and are desperate to prove they are, in fact, the main character and everyone else isn’t, because being a normal person means they have to address the problems of a normal person that they’re clearly running from.

Patio season is coming

The problem with Dems chasing public opinion is that THE PUBLIC'S VIEW OF THINGS IS JUST MOVING IN RESPONSE TO WHAT POLITICAL FIGURES SAY AND IT'S VERY OBVIOUS IN THE DATA MY GOD

Democrats like Jeffries spent the entire election calling Trump a fascist threat to democracy and now they can’t figure out why people expect aggressive opposition

the thing about chasing what you think is public opinion is that if and when things turn you will have made a bunch of statements and taken a bunch of stances that you’ll have to disavow. probably a better strategy just to say what you actually believe and stand by it. anyway, this guy sucks.

It’s pretty interesting that both Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom are clearly positioning themselves to run for President and one thought he should publicize that he’s having diplomatic conversations with Canadian provinces close to Minnesota and the other thought he should publicize that he sucks
