Q: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far?"

Trump: "No. I think they haven't gone far enough”

Healthcare but only for my friends

I find it so fascinating that even in a post explicitly claiming "I don't care" about being racist or not, they still engage in desperate verbal gymnastics to avoid acknowledging it. Like she's still too cowardly to say "I know this is racist but", has to be "I know people will call this racist but"

US citizen shot from behind as he warned ICE agents children would be coming to get bus, lawyers say

If I were to sum up my advice to the Democratic party leadership about how to defeat Trumpism, it would be to set aside policy for now and focus instead on articulating a vision of what American society should look like and what role the US should play in a rapidly changing world today.

It doesn’t matter what I think. Also, none of this would ever happen. But if I had a zillion dollars:

1. Run a “we do hard things” campaign across southern and rust belt states. Invest heavily in local, state and regional social infrastructure. Sponser later hours at a library, build a skate park…

This is an incredibly tenacious myth about the Iraq War, pushed relentlessly by the Jacobin-y left.

But there's no evidence for it. No evidence that policy-makers had oil as even a secondary or tertiary motive for invading.

And it would make zero sense to do this, as Saddam was perfectly/

There's also a weird conventional wisdom forming that the Democratic agenda is toxically unpopular and that Republicans are delivering what voters want.

This is laughably false. Trump is the most unpopular president in modern history and his entire agenda is underwater.

"Torment Nexus" comes from this tweet and is often used now to describe the kind of negative experiences you can have with social networks, like getting dogpiled or harassed or being pushed into conflict

it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people

if you found a guy talking like this outside, you'd probably call the cops

malcolm mcdowell also a good one for this

I think everybody has a “Wallace Shawn from Young Sheldon” — my first one would probably be “Vincent Price, the guy who did the voice of Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective”
