AOC: We are going to have to reckon, as a country, with this time. And I hope that that reckoning includes prosecution of people who are involved with the lawbreaking and human rights violations they are knowingly engaging in right now.

I remember that first course catalog. It was the most exciting thing since I was little, and used to peruse the Sears catalog looking at all the toys. The excitement of being able to study any of hundreds of offerings and for the first time in your life, you get to choose your studies? Heaven.

This is why they all circled the wagons against the younger reps like AOC and the squad. Why they hate Zohran. They know we're gonna find out they're all involved.

They only get involved because someone is paying them, so they assume *other* people would only get involved because someone is also paying them.
James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

The way the American government just lies to its citizens is insane. You could be at home sleeping and 5 masked thugs break into your bedroom and kill you in your sleep, and high ranking officials will go on TV and declare you're a terrorist and they acted in self defense

This is the kind of shit that would make you completely outside the bounds of any ancient society, the gods bestow generational curses for violating hospitality
A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.
Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.
