Your Presidents' Day reminder that patriotism isn't about attacking immigrants, cutting taxes for the rich, or dividing us by race & faith. True patriots don't pander to divisiveness or hate. They work to confirm the "WE" in "We the People of the United States."

This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
 
Not one dime for this cruelty.

Every Jewish institution should be calling this man out for his vile words and rabid hatred. I hope every member of my Jewish community will join me in condemning him. It’s incumbent us to name the hate and censure the man who spreads it.

Call this out the way we call out antisemitism. We have to.
Will it be national news? Will it cause performative outrage? Will he be censured?

Nope. Forgotten by tomorrow.

One of my black pill moments was that Biden actually focused on lifting the lowest quartiles up at the expense of the rich and the online left screamed at him about student loan forgiveness.
The vibecession was primarily driven by lower sentiment among the upper and middle classes, not the lower classes.

If you want to know who took your money, it's the people with all the money.

And if they can talk you into believing anyone else is to blame, they will keep picking your pockets and purchasing themselves politicians and getting away with it.
We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

I’m quite serious when I say we should start being bigoted to billionaires like society has historically been to racial minorities and women.

Absolutely infuriating. These grotesque, morally bankrupt men have broken this country.
"Billionaires like thinkers who see their exploitation of the weak as good and natural. Epstein funneled ~$20m a year to academic men who shared his ideology [and got] to hold forth in formal sessions at Harvard, condemning feeding and caring for the poor as if he were making a scholarly argument."
About Epstein, Edge, eugenics, and finding my name in the Epstein files.

Last July, I wrote a follow up to "Fascism and the English Language" specifically covering immigrant rights language. Concentration camps was correct then & is now. So too is not using "immigration" as qualifier for acts that are crimes.

The founders didn't imagine a world where votes could be tallied and the winners gathered in under five months. Yet they figured out that the president shouldn't have emoluments from anyone but the taxpayers in the form of a fixed salary.

I don’t think we can make this observation enough.

And I feel similarly about abolishing ICE. Everyone saying that’s a road too far seems to forget (ignore) that Trump essentially did that to USAID and is in the process of doing that to the Dept of Education.

We can do things. If we choose to.
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

If my math is right, the current force is 10X the normal amount

And what’s a “security force”? This is Minneapolis, not Baghdad
White House border czar Tom Homan said Sunday that more than 1,000 immigration agents have left Minnesota's Twin Cities area and hundreds more will depart in the days ahead. A "small" security force will stay for a short period. https://to.pbs.org/4aDO804
Trump's border czar says smaller force of ICE agents will remain in Minnesota amid drawdown
He also said agents will keep investigating fraud allegations as well as the anti-immigration enforcement protest that disrupted a service at a church service.

Only 4 sheriff's offices in Indiana are part of ICE's 287(g) program. Three are veeeery red (and small); the fourth is large Hamilton County, which went Trump +6. I was just looking at the sheriff's candidates who filed there: The sheriff is not running for reelection but only two Republicans filed.

While MLPS was a victory, moral and tangibly, for ICE resisters, don't call it 'a retreat.' The dystopia is just getting started

Thousands of new agents. 150 new offices in every state. And the nationwide gulag archipelago. The fight has just begun

man ... lying under oath really ought to be a crime, you know?
The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.

After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.
