it is incredible to see the extent to which the Sensible Centrists are simply incapable of grasping the very simple and obvious fact that the president's concern with crime is a pretext, and that to deny claims of a sudden epidemic in crime is not to say that crime is nonexistent.

Yeah, I think this what makes it hard for Americans who haven’t experienced autocracy elsewhere to realize—life under authoritarianism can still look like pleasant summers, bbq on the weekend, after work happy hour with friends—until snap, a coworker or family member goes missing
this dc situation looks pretty horrible. i wish i had more to say except that autocracy is always mundane and petty and vicious and encourages you to look away and be safe. and you can live quite normally under it until you're a direct target

INCREDIBLE! This is yet another US citizen charged with "assault" for supposedly impeding what ICE describes as yet another racial profiling incident! ICE was chasing "individuals" (eg Hispanics) who they had no idea whether they were here illegally when they ran over Andrea.

NEW: We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office. ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.” Judge for yourself.

Apparently, inflation is bad, but we must impose tariffs to raise the cost of cheap imports so people buy expensive American goods. We can re-shore manufacturing, but to be cost competitive, we have to fully automate factories, replacing American workers with robots.

TESLA: We rallied at the courthouse in Oakland CA where Tesla will finally be held accountable for a decade of dishonestly advertising their “self driving” cars. We made 53 headstones representing the 53 fatal Autopilot/FSD crashes… so far… but not one more life should be lost for Elon Musk’s profit

Is ICE invading your community, violating civil liberties, trampling on due process, and attacking your friends and neighbors?

Well, you can thank Palantir for providing them with the tech infrastructure and support to make that possible — it’s time to #purgepalantir
Over 200 people are shutting down Palantir's office in Palo Alto, CA right now. This is perhaps the company most driving corporate fascism, kidnappings, and war across the globe. #PurgePalantir

Breaking: Activists are blocking the doors of Palantir’s NYC Office. Palantir is the mass surveillance company building the technology ICE is using to abduct our neighbors here in NYC.

NEW YORKERS MUST REJECT PALANTIR AT EVERY TURN.
