Imagine the burden of having to hide, for the rest of your life, that you worked for the MAGA Gestapo, because you know that plenty of perfectly ordinary people would probably straight up murder you for it and unceremoniously throw your body in a ditch then go on with their lives with zero guilt

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Tonight, in Broadview — a suburb outside of Chicago where Illinois state troopers are doing crowd control near the ICE detention center.

Troopers just violently attacked protesters, tackled several, several arrests, shoving activists and press with batons.

Some local Latino running clubs and their members plan to take extra precautions ahead of the Chicago Marathon to mitigate mounting dread that the heightened federal presence pervading the city will be felt from the 26.2-mile course.

Trump just threatened to impose severe, unprecedented tariffs on Chinese imports. He won’t negotiate with Xi at the upcoming APEC summit, choosing to sink the global economy. The Dow is already down 300 points. This will devastate American small businesses and cause your expenses to skyrocket.

I saw a post that said “Reparations isn’t a debate. It is a debt.”

I still haven’t stopped thinking about it.

It’s a moral affront that we’ve enabled Netanyahu’s genocidal war — we’re equally responsible. Reparations are a moral imperative. In the long-term, I believe that peace will enable the Palestinian people to build a sovereign state.

He wants X thing so he gets X thing is not a given. And to me that's the thing to uproot from people's consciousness. Because we're less than a year in and many people seem already defeated.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’
