I figure this'll be an essential one for everybody trying to respond in Minneapolis right now.
Our last episode of the year is a conversation about what resisting ICE has looked like in Chicago, what we've learned, what it's cost, and where we go from here. I'm so grateful to Gabe Gonzalez, Rey Wences, and Jocelyn Walsh for this convo. This one is special to me. Audio + transcript:
How We’ve Resisted ICE: Street Lessons From Chicago
“I cannot imagine doing anything else in this moment,” says community defense organizer Gabe Gonzalez.

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?

MAGAZINER: A hardworking man w/no criminal record who raised 3 sons to be Marines -- ICE agents tackled him while he was mowing lawn & imprisoned him. Will you consider him for parole?

NOEM: Everyone in this country illegally has an opportunity to voluntarily go home

M: He raised 3 Marines

Imagine serving as a Marine and then having a distinguished career in the FBI investigating actual terrorist threats and then having to go in front of Congress and say you’re afraid of Antifa. Absolutely humiliating.
GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing

BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?

GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

THOMPSON: What does that mean?

Similar thing for me and the NICU.

Oh, my kid needs to be transferred within three hours to stay alive? Hold on, let me call around on Christmas Eve for the best price on a condition we haven’t even ID’d yet.

These people are deeply unserious.

Signed, another economist who generally likes markets
Reminds me of that time I needed emergency appendectomy & I was on morphine & the hospital billing guy came to my room to ask me to pay the copay upfront

I was like dude I’m going next door to check the other hospital‘s price also what’s my name again

Ps I’m an economist, ok w/markets generally
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

Very sensitive intelligence methods like murdering the shit out of shipwrecked mariners.
House Intel Chair Rick Crawford on why he doesn't want video of the second Sept 2 boat strike released: "What the trained eye can detect from these videos may reveal sources and methods that would imperil troops." (But releasing video of the first strike didn't?)

An incredible admission at how top down the right is and how the oligarchs propagandists view their followers as lemmings to manipulate through social media rage bait. Now they're upset that they have lost control of the manipulation machine.

Western Washington is currently experiencing record flooding from a series of strong atmospheric rivers. 12 rivers are at major flood stage. 100,000 people await evacuation orders.

Will some places see less severe climate impacts than others? Yes. Does anywhere promise safe haven? Absolutely not.
Climate migration is difficult to study, and even harder to predict, because a complex constellation of factors guides the decision to pick up and move. But some experts say a historic population shift has already begun, and Western Washington should start preparing now to become a “climate haven.”
Is the Pacific Northwest ready for a wave of climate migration?

There does not exist a hot dog suit big enough nor a face eating leopard ferocious enough to serve as an adequate metaphor for Chris Rufo complaining about right wing media becoming conspiracy addled click bait
Chris Rufo literally was a core figure in boosting a lie that Haitian immigrants in an Ohio town ate pets. He offered a bounty for “information” after the lie was repeatedly debunked.

Spare us the navel-gazing nonsense.

Nobel Peace Prize Winner María Corina Machado’s escape from Venezuela was particularly risky because her team had to inform the US military that she was escaping so they wouldn’t mistake her boat for an alleged narco boat and bomb it.

COLLINS: You talk about 15 years of Obamacare. But that also means Republicans have had 15 years to come up with a solution and have not yet done so.

Latest Skagit River forecasts are just shocking. The NOAA model now has the river cresting 4-5 FEET over RECORD flood stages there at Monroe and Concrete. A minor saving grace is it seems the river is running a little behind the forecast curve but still :O #wawx

The supposed legal justifications for these boat strikes just don't make sense

Even in war you can’t target civilians

Experts across party lines agree: this looks like murder

We need the memo, the full video & an investigation

I explained on @ms.now 👇

“30-40% of Republican staffers under 30 are groypers.”

These are the people who actually do the mechanics of running the politicians’ offices and have their ears at all times.

I need you to understand that Fuentes is incredibly influential on the right. Probably more than Kirk (who he hated). He’s an incel who hates all minorities, women, and Jews. And he’s completely nuts.
PIERS: “You’re not gay?”
FUENTES: “No. But women are very difficult to be around.”
P: “Should they vote?”
F: “No.”
PIERS: “They should stay home?”
FUENTES: “Yeah.”
PIERS: “So you’re just a misogynistic dinosaur. Have you ever had sex?”
FUENTES: “No.”
PIERS: “Wow. Says the guy who never got laid.”

It is important to understand that the purpose of #AI is to eliminate workers. That is how they are selling it to CEOs - this will get rid of many workers.

The US is investing trillions of tax dollars to cause massive unemployment.

That's the plan.

The entire extent of the plan.

That is patently false: not only do immigrants score better than native-born Americans in tests, the mere presence of immigrants improve test scores for all students, when factoring in white flight

There's no evidence Trump has ever driven a damn car.

He has never mowed a lawn.

He has never shoveled a walk.

He has never changed a lightbulb.

He has never washed dishes.

He has said he never ever changed a diaper and he has four children.
something you have to understand about Trump & his weird comments about the economy is that the dude hasn't paid for anything like a normal person in decades - never pumps gas, never buys groceries - so he's completely & utterly out of touch with what life is like for most of us
