Someone sent me something written by a couch revolutionary just yesterday where the writer denigrates ICE Watch as insufficiently radical.
I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

A lot of people’s problems with injustice and cruelty is that they don’t like being aware of it and would do anything to go back to pretending that nothing is wrong

I remember someone said that it’s funny that the liberal solution to cop violence always tends to be giving them more funding. If things are going well, it’s more reason to fund them more. And if they’re going badly, then they need more funding for trying and hiring even more cops.

I don't know how many times I can say it, or how many ways, but the right's actions *are not caused by the left*. They want power & control. They want to destroy the left, crush its organizing mechanisms, jail its leaders, and rule without opposition. THEY DON'T NEED EXCUSES.

Just going to reiterate that in 2016 Trump inherited the lowest murder rate of any president in 50 years. He set reality aside, gave his “American Carnage” inaugural address, and was then the first president in 30 years to leave office with a higher murder rate than when he started.
...Voters really, really care about controlling immigration and crime. They just do. And if voters don’t think Democrats will take those issues seriously, they elect a garbage human like Trump who will seize the opportunity to expand his own power.

i will never not be amused by how the conservative world is governed by the kind of “affirmative action” they say happens in mainstream institutions. totally unqualified dipshits are handed the keys to institutions because they say the right thing and have the right look.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.
One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

the empirical evidence is pretty conclusive that the 2020 protests contributed to trump’s defeat. why did it take four years for the “calamitous imagery” of those protests to have a decisive electoral impact in trump’s favor, & what caused the political valence of that imagery to reverse entirely?
One of the principle reasons Trump swept back into power was the legacy of the calamitous imagery of 2020’s “fiery but mostly peaceful protests.” This is such a gift to him. Throw in a Hamas armband to boot? I almost can’t believe this isn’t staged

"Americans don't care that a billionaire installed a bunch of far-right psychos in office who then gutted healthcare."
When 15 million Americans lose their health care and plunge into personal crisis, none of them are going to give a shit about a made-for-clicks twitter fight between two billionaires arguing about who gets the bigger share of the corruption spoils.
