My most liked posts have typos. My best posts don't get likes. I have a Ph D, you don't have to explain the two-party system to me.

I knew Brody King is with the activities but I missed this. Now I feel even better about spending on DWJ variants
How did I not know this? I didn't know AEW wrestler Brody King is doing a fundraiser for Mpls families affected by ICE. By selling variant comics covers. With comics artist Daniel Warren Johnson. Who is a fellow Chicagoan? And has raised $58K so far and is still going! headlockedcomic.bigcartel.com

I do appreciate the reminder as to why I had this person muted on the other app
"ICE guys are pretty miserable. I don’t think morale is particularly high for them. They’re freezing, they’re getting shouted at. They can’t go anywhere without being tailed by 5 cars. They get out and immediately there's a crowd of 100 people shouting at them, blowing whistles as loud as they can."
Inside the resistance with Will Stancil
"It's something I could do to keep them from stealing my neighbors."

Until we address the White Supremacy, sexism, and heteronormativity? ABSOLUTELY
I can't believe you're platforming Will Stancil over any of the actual hardworking activists.
We're just gonna keep feeding the beast of useless celebrity worship that birthed Trump until we're overrun with egomaniacs aren't we

No joy in having foresight. Can't even monetize this shit in 2026. But judging by the way the discourse was discoursing today... *taps sign*
The Senate bill is rooted in the idea that we just need to get BP/ICE "back to" only terrorizing people we deem worthy of being terrorized, and not White people. The exact problematic understanding people have been trying to warn against... While a lot of White people insisted that concern was silly

In other words, if the clearly evil stuff that is happening right now is labeled as evil by sources like CNN, that would force too many White people to confront the idea that their parents/friends/religious leaders/etc. are actively supporting evil.
So instead as a nation we pretend.

Not gullibility, not exactly. Nor personal agreement.
A deep psychological need and professional incentive for normality, with both sides equal, where we share basic values but disagree about how.
Because if it really is this bad, good people would be biased against it, not neutral and “balanced.”

After Trump tells NBC News he could maybe use a "softer touch" on immigration, we immediately get the "different tone" narrative from CNN.
Brianna Keilar: "A change of tone for the president. Softer touch."
David Chalian: "He acknowledged learning something that this requires a softer touch."

Victor is right and if you cringe at the assertion, just look at the crosstabs for any national election aggregated by education. The motivation is right there, it's just a matter of choosing to acknowledge/address the implications
The destruction of independent media outlets and the attempts to bring higher education to heel are part of a united authoritarian strategy designed to destroy checks on their propaganda.

Sure, but also because when we talk about this we dance around the fact that these igorant infulencers tend to be disproportionately rich White guys
one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

Because they agree with Trump. It's not capitulatory
This is what's so infuriating about the billionaires. Isn't part of the point of having that much money and power is that you have "fuck you money"? Meaning, if you don't want to do something, you say "fuck you" and don't do it. To anyone and everyone.
So why are they such capitulatory wimps now?

This and also ... he could afford to enrage Trump, have Trump weaponize the government against all of his businesses, etc. -- and he'd still have so much more money than he could ever spend in 10 lifetimes.

Yup and this also explains the strategic targeting of certain majors within higher ed
This is true, but also leaves out one element, which is part of this goal is shifting the pathway to upper middle class more comprehensively to security/law enforcement/repression industries. Financial stability will require participation in infrastructure of oppression
I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

This story makes me so sad
Please speak up for Rodney. A year in an ICE camp is beyond comprehension.
Public pressure works.
If enough people speak up, a life may be saved.
Many of the deaths in ICE custody have been due to medical neglect… let’s make sure Rodney isn’t one of them.

Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE
Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

This dude Stancil has quickly revealed that he is to Minneapolis what Shaun King was to Ferguson
This is the stuff that marks someone as a danger.
Not even just that he intends to sneak back into an organizing space where he’s been told that he’s unwanted; the need to publicly brag about it, and make sure everyone knows.
You cannot do collaborative work with someone who only centers himself.

When White people want to talk about another White person with bigoted views, but want to dance around it, they call the person "political" or "controversial". It's interesting
