Al Gore loudly booing a US Commerce Secretary at a bankers’ forum should be a Futurama joke instead of real life.

I don't take hatred of America personally.
I do find it weird that multiple white English men are choosing to keep needling Black Americans about this though.

Democrats have no obligation to support a bill that not only funds the dystopian scenes we are seeing in Minneapolis but will allow DHS to replicate that playbook of brutality in cities all over this country.

Having just survived a tidal wave of gaslighting, the desperation to convince people to give up their capacity for creation and reasoning so they can become a slop generating third party thinker is palpable.

Elon Musk is a profoundly dangerous person, and the risks he presents should be taken very seriously... but his power is also derived almost entirely from attention and being treated as a serious person, so it's important not to do that

feminist international relations is a theory like the theory of evolution is a theory
Danish parliamentarian Rasmus Jarlov speaking to MS NOW on Stephen Miller comments regarding Greenland: "I hope he’s kept away from young women, because that’s the mentality of a rapist. You can’t defend yourself, so I’m going to take you. That’s basically what he’s saying."

One of my fave political stories ever: when Maine’s GOP then-Gov LePage thought that not signing bills by deadline meant they’d die.
So he ignored all these Dem bills, thinking it’d kill them.
But in Maine, if Gov just does nothing (rather than veto), a bill becomes law.
So they all became law.

The Trump admin is moving to quickly deport two men who witnessed, they say, ICE guards choke a fellow detainee to death.
The admin moved to deport men right after they spoke the Washington Post.
This is the death that the medical examiner has already ruled likely homicide.

So I shared this thread on the 100th anniversary of the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 & I'll share again because I think it is important for folks to know what it is the Trump admin has to undo to undo our US citizenship in order to set a precedent for challenging birthright citizenship.
Forgot to share here but to help put this into perspective, my great grandma was 9 years old when ALL Native Americans gained US citizenship on June 2, 1924 with the Indian Citizenship Act.

It's striking that the federal line is now simply that there is no justifiable or legal means of resistance, defense, or protest, against ICE period. That seems to me like a change/escalation (though I know it's not unprecedented). Either assist ICE or comply with them, or be attacked and slandered.
The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”
