I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

"Americans are feeling powerless to thwart the Trump admin’s assault on our nation’s values. Praised by tech CEOs, surrounded by sycophants, & enriched by his return to the WH, [Trump's] actions march on unchecked. Americans, however, have a powerful weapon that has been hiding in plain sight." 👇

It doesn’t matter what they plan to do. They do not have the power they are trying to project. Do not let them bully you psychologically into accepting their premises.

Inside TurboTax’s 20-Year Fight to Stop Americans From Filing Their Taxes for Free
Using lobbying, the revolving door and “dark pattern” customer tricks, Intuit fended off the government’s attempts to make tax filing free and easy, and created its multi-billion-dollar franchise.

Chomsky’s casual misogyny with Epstein says a lot about what counts as left wing. This is a guy who co-wrote an entire book about the press manufacturing consent without once mentioning patriarchy (or white supremacy). We need a definition of ‘left’ that doesn’t center the concerns of white men.
Remember my thread from last week about "hysteria"? Well, the latest traunch of Epstein files suggests that Noam Chomsky missed that day in History class.
[In 2019, after Epstein pled guilty, Chomsky reassured him, saying it was just part of "the hysteria that has developed about abuse of women"]

House Democrats must vote ‘no’ on DHS funding tomorrow. Our country is in the middle of a five alarm fire, and we must act like it.
While ICE agents are killing Americans in the street and using five year old children as bait, we should not give that agency another dime.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

This was just me making this comparison yesterday, but today the Korean news is calling Minnesota "America's Gwangju" and have human rights lawyers explaining how America is now living through the dictatorship Korea once had.
The Chun regime that my wife fought against in the 80s did the exact same thing. They needed a "crisis" that "only they could solve" to hoard more ill-gotten power, so they chose one city (Gwangju), declared its inhabitants enemies, sent trucks full of soldiers to violently attack and kill them.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Gavin Newsom is a slick-talking rich transphobic cop-loving dishonest opportunist. He takes his marching orders from billionaires.
Newsom is a phony. I think most Americans can see right through him.
I don't think he stands a chance in the general. He's Joe Lieberman with better hair.

Yes, ICE is struggling to recruit and dropping standards. But the abuses we've seen on the streets are coming from long-serving agents. Jonathan Ross was a 10-year ICE veteran and a firearms instructor. The problem with ICE isn't J6ers. It's with the agency itself, and the people directing it. 6/

You notice how thousands and thousands of cops aren't coming out to condemn Jonathan Ross for senselessly killing Renee Good?
This is what people mean by "all cops are bastards". If this were any other profession, the entire group would condemn it. With cops it's the reverse, they all justify it.
