We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Newsom can't be President because he's an asshole with bad politics but he can absolutely goad the current President into doing dumb and loud shit and there is no greater need in the moment than a loathsome fuck to anger and annoy the other loathsome fuck
I regret to inform you that this shit has me libbing out. Sue me. (And yes; I know about Newsom!)

No I don't want "humane" deportations, for the same reason I don't want "friendly" cops in schools or "understanding" genital inspectors at sporting events.
The problem is the fascism, not that the fascism is rude.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

I don't perform any particular gender not just because I don't ascribe to one, but bcz there is inherently not one that I can perform that'll be in any way accepted; though, there IS one that I'm assumed to be performing badly (and queerly), but that qualifier is never removed entirely.
