The message we must convey is simple: We are not intimidated. We will not stand for this. We maintain our power, the power of The People.
This is how we resist. We dance in the face of tyranny.
We wash ourselves of defeatism & inspire our community to recognize its power, its worth, & its future.

Idk who else needs to know this, but the Ancient Egyptians were fully aware of the Cartesian triple 3,4,5 and would use it to measure their fields after the Nile drew back from flooding season.

So, it’s fishy because the regime is responsible for vetting the assailant and granting asylum.
They were really trying to evade accountability for this (as usual), and they let an attack on soldiers become a set of contradictory reporting & conspiracy.
These soldiers & their families deserve more

This whole thing is getting very fishy.
I mean, the conflicting reports on whether or not the service members died or not was also fishy. Those soldiers deserve better than to become political conspiracy fodder.

Just looking at historical precedent, I think this is the era where our bipartisan system breaks away from one of the parties.
I predict (without real evidence, of course) that the 2032 Election will be between a bunch of Democrats & either Independents or a 3rd Party (please no 3rd party, tho).

Yall saw how quickly that Purple Revolution BS stopped?
That’s because it was more about protecting White American comfort and ease of living rather than actually uniting Americans who are disenfranchised & otherwise harmed by the American system & government.

I’ll bet the fire-setting is what happened to his hair.
We spend a staggering amount of energy trying to understand why cruel awful evil men are this way. And Miller IS profoundly evil.
Miller advocated for torture...when he was in HS. It wouldn't surprise me if he hit all 3 criteria: late bed-wetting, hurting small animals, lighting shit on fire.

I think that somewhere along the way something in Stephen Miller got fundamentally damaged. This is neither an excuse nor a mitigating factor; the dude is genuinely fucking evil and he and everything he stands for should be fought against and stopped. But he is something beyond mere sociopathy.

“It’s just the way we [insert Anglo-Saxon surname] have always done it. It’s in our blood to vote Republican.”

The Republican Party has to be the biggest con job in US history. It’s always been a cult. They vote Republican cause their pappy voted Republican and his pappy voted Republican etc. not educated enough to think for themselves or to even realize they vote against their own best interests.

I’m a fan of the hypothesis that they’re being promised that their families are safe—at least until ICE has gotten everyone else and then turns on them
Hispanics constitute the second biggest demographic of ICE recruits.
The proximity to whiteness privilege is so alluring, we'll turn on our own.
Historically paralleling how Italian Americans cozied up to whiteness to get umbrella'd in, too.
It's obscene.
