For the regime to describe the ICE agent’s brutal murder of a woman in Minneapolis as defensive is for the regime to enshrine ICE’s total immunity as it expands its killing, kidnapping, terrorizing, and caging of us.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.
You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.
That is all.
