Unemployed people are so frustrated right now. We’re not not trying. We’re not ungrateful. We’re not lazy. We’re frustrated. Understand that please.

young republicans didn't used to be like this! i know because they weren't racist to me, a white lady,

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.

That’s why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed — because Young Republicans weren’t radical enough.

very annoying that we had to endure about a month of these people going “calling us nazis hurts our feelings” to then immediately be revealed saying nazi shit and going “yup, we want gas chambers. so what libs”

People have to stop being afraid of acknowledging that Nazis have demonstrated they won't stop trying to kill you unless they're dead, & they're not going to do it themselves until you get to the last one.

Being nice to Nazis & preserving "decorum" is going to end with you in a gas chamber.

the most unsurprising thing in the world is now every rightwinger, all yhe way up to JD vance, have explicitely defended this and the statements made by those in this group. and that’s by design, every single rightwinger is now an extremist nazi

One of the things that baffles and pisses me off the most about this ICE shit is how many Black and brown faces I keep seeing wearing the Nazis' uniforms.

Like what the fuck is wrong with you? Have you not considered who's going in the oven when they're done with the rest of us?

1)You may remember the articles criticizing liberal students for their hesitancy to make friends with conservative students—alleging that they were less open-minded than their conservative counterparts.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.
