There’s been multiple Super Bowl ads for Jesus with the slogan “He gets us.”
Are there really no PACs or foundations or concerned rich people to buy Super Bowl ads broadcasting footage of ICE brutality to the country?
Two 30-second spots, plus widespread promotion on socials, would run ~$20m.

Anti-ICE protesters are having a rolling noise demo and protest in downtown Minneapolis targeting hotels where federal agents are reportedly staying -- starting at the Canopy by Hilton and going to the Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel. Police have just arrived as we are posting this.

In this thread, I will be summarizing what I think is going on in #Iran and why this movement is different from others.
For decades, the Iranian government, the Islamic Republic, a religious autocracy, has tried to force a very strict, fundamentalist version of Islam on its people.

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.
A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

"Chomsky can no longer offer apologies or consolation to the survivors. But that does not relieve us of the responsibility to do so, part of which is acknowledging that someone who had such a huge impact on so many of us made such profoundly disturbing moral choices."
Chomsky, Epstein, and the responsibility of intellectuals
Burning down houses and raping their female inhabitants is the kind of imperialist standard operating procedure that Chomsky spent his life condemning in East Timor, in Iraq, in El Salvador. But when ...

I've seen a lot of man's inhumanity to man in my work as a journalist over the years, but few stories I've worked on have given me the sense of moral & physical revulsion as this one about Noam Chomsky's relationship with the sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. michaeldeibert.substack.com/p/no-chomsky
No, Chomsky
The revelations about the linguist’s relationship with the predator Jeffrey Epstein are a fitting epitaph to a disgraceful career.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Still not over the fact that Brad Lander is the serving NYC Comptroller, rather a demanding position, AND a mayoral candidate, also a demanding FT job—& he found time to go to the courts to tell folks their rights & walk them past danger & the only reason we know is because ICE assaulted him.
gotta say, Brad Lander's really walked the walk in these past weeks and it's not something I'll soon forget

When something bad happens that's clearly meant to intimidate people into silence, the best course of action is to shock and demoralize the perpetrators by channeling your rage and grief into standing up and speaking out. Don’t back down.
