shoutout to every idiot who believed that trump would "end the wars"

As the Middle East devolves into regional war, remember, this is literally Trump's fault. He's the single person who decided to end the Iran Nuclear deal and if he hadn't there wouldn't be war.

Yeah it's really something to see a U.S. senator being hit with the same impossible compliance demands that the cops scream at people before shooting them during a stop

If the feds’ objective is to “liberate” Los Angeles and California from its democratically elected leadership, then this not a peacekeeping mission but a program of invasion.

Afterwards, Sen. Padilla framed what happened in exactly the right way: "If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question...I can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers, in Los Angeles & throughout California & the country."

It remains so funny to me how many people who claim to be socialists thought the Biden Administration was a disaster for the working class when the objective truth is it was a disaster for the bosses.

Good news out of Seattle, where the Link light rail registered its highest-ever ridership in May as the 2-line got extended to Downtown Redmond. Ridership is up more than 20% compared to last May!

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

my favorite early 2021 pandemic story was Chuck Todd calling 100 million vaccine doses in 100 days an impossible trump style promise, and then when we hit it in 65 days he said Biden set the bar low on purpose so he could cynically claim he accomplished something difficult

I love this double standard in American politics where these chuds slander us as criminals and degenerates but if we respond with the objective fact that their home states are only known for their meth labs and teenage pregnancy rates we're somehow defiling the soul of America

I also wonder how many actual ICE agents are abusing their powers. If we get through this it seems likely we'll learn about some that solicited bribes and some that did things considerably worse

Tariffs & ICE raids are connected insofar as they are attempts to blame economic & social conditions entirely on the actions of foreigners while attempting to paint domestic enemies as a traitorous fifth column working with the foreigners to undermine the country

The state Kristi Noem is from gets 40x as much representation in the United States Senate as the state Los Angeles is in. They take billions of dollars of tax money from our state every year. And yet it's not enough. They won't stop until they occupy our territory and destroy our freedom.

At some point you have to pick whether you will defend immigrant communities as they actually exist or will only defend them if they shape up and start acting American enough, and frankly the rhetoric about these protests is telling me that too many liberals are picking option 2

Gavin Newsom went on TV, called Tom Homan a bitch, and said he if he wanted arrest him he knew where to find him. Maxine Waters told an ICE agent to his if they planned to shoot her they should at least shoot straight. I really don't know what you want from them right now.

The best way to do this is have veterans do the actual handoff. There are no shortage of them in LA, and they have organizations that will stand a much better chance of getting stuff through

I think it might be useful to do a real assessment at some point of who has the ability to shape the narrative and how it isn’t (for instance) all but a few Congressional Dems. One thing that does help shape the narrative, though: posts like this.

Donald Trump incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol. Hundreds of dangerous felons who brutally beat police officers with impunity were then pardoned by the President on his first day in office. Don’t ever lecture America about law and order.
