As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe. But as a historian I am looking at front pages today and must wonder: What is the point of remembering #VEDay 80 years on, what is the point of our thanks, when we are failing to protect the sacrifices made? 🧵

A much bigger problem is militaristic governance. That’s not what our democracy should look like. Abolish ICE. Defund the police. Replace punitive incarceration with rehabilitation. Make voting and residency the ONLY requirements for citizenship. Abolition now and abolition forever.

But he’s not deporting immigrants—he’s kidnapping people and sending them to concentration camps. He’s also not cutting government waste. The goddamn media needs to stop using patently false framing like this. The entire journalist profession is undermined by it!

Guys, this is David Brooks in the NY Times. If it's like this 90 days into this presidency with people who wouldn't be caught dead saying it last year, imagine it in two years. Something good is happening, we just have to lift everybody up so they can see it. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/o...

This would be unacceptably obtuse from a backwater representative of a district with five people. Coming from the Senate Minority Leader? You are a fucking disgrace to America.

Modern journalism's instinct/desire/strategy to lazily accept and pass on, without further interrogation, the nonsense counterfactual framing of whoever is acting in the worst faith, is a huge part of why we are here.
