VERY IMPORTANT THREAD:

Wise and important words from sociologist Jennifer Walter about what is happening in our country right now and what to do about it:
"As a sociologist, I need to tell you:
Your overwhelming is the goal.

If you make jokes about gas chambers, you are an antisemite. If you downplay jokes about gas chambers by other people, you are also an antisemite.

There is nothing funny about this at all, nothing normal about it at all. No amount of identifying as a Christian can excuse it. This is pure evil.

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Private insurers like UnitedHealth, Humana, and Cigna are using AI to deny medically necessary care to the most vulnerable.

The federal government plans to do the same with Medicare.

A precondition for Republics to transition to autocracies is the politicization of the military. It is why the political & military leaders of the country have been so vigilant to keep partisanship away from it. But this admin is dismantling that concept. www.cnn.com/2025/10/15/p...

Just let this sink in:

A county of almost 10 million people declares a state of emergency because of the behavior of the federal state! 🤯

This will become more and more the reality under Trump 2.0, in which a militarized federal state occupies more and more cities (with often militarized police).

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.
