A lot of people listen to the centrist strategists and “analysts” who wrongly argued Democrats shouldn’t talk about immigration because it would help Trump or some shit. You do have to wonder how that shaped Dem behavior in Congress, & how things could’ve been different w/ different info streams
The Democratic commentators, "strategists," and data bros who've been counseling appeasement of Trump's fascism need to take responsibility for how unbelievably fucking wrong they were.
For history tells us that appeasement signals weakness, encourages escalation, and accelerates freedom's end.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

Five years ago, I sheltered in the Capitol, praying the lock on my door would hold.
Alarms blared. Rioters screamed, "Kill the infidels."
I held my breath, not just because I was in danger, but because our democracy was. Democracy held, and I do still believe we can keep it.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.
