Dear Free Phallustine cult:

Trump is president, thanks in part to you. Take your allegations of "enabling MidEast war crimes" up with him and stop stalking and harassing Harris at her book tour. She is a private citizen with 0 control of our government, much less a foreign one.

Love, reality.

The protestors at Kamala’s book tour should have spent $30 on her book vs $300 to disrupt her. They would have learned something instead of being anti black chaos agents hellbent on annoying her and her audience.

Every day at noon, no matter how busy, Johny Merida Aguilar left his construction job and hurried to his 5-year-old son's school to feed him. His son has brain cancer and generally only accepts food from his father.

Merida Aguilar was arrested by ICE in September and faces deportation to Bolivia.

He was caring for his 5-year-old son with brain cancer. Then he was detained by ICE.

A court has temporarily blocked Johny Merida Aguilar's deportation to Bolivia.

The Black community has known for decades that there’s an element still percolating in all police forces. Undercover KKK, Proud Boys, white supremacists all use the badge as means to terrorize the community. I grew up in Ohio in the early 60s with KKK crosses burning on our lawn. The police knew.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Just to clarify for the few who seem confused:

It's not the "Biden FBI" if Biden is not president. Trump was president on January 6, 2021 and the FBI director was appointed by Trump. It was "Trump's FBI."

A thing I have learned from being online since 1995:

If you're a writer, editor, journalist, academic, you have to be ready to go contrarian when you feel it. And if you're feeling it all the time, such that it's become your idenitity, that's a signal. You broke your mind.

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that
