I’m just a simple man, but it’s almost like this global “competition” for “markets” and economic “growth” has led us to irreversible climate catastrophe and environmental disaster, not to mention ceaseless conflict, human exploitation, and war.

Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill: "Trump seems to be trying to incite insurrection so he can then put troops on the streets with the Insurrection Act. This is something that every single American should be concerned about, that we are going live with military troops on the street."

BREAKING: Former John McCain Advisor Mark Salter:
“He’s a madman, deranged by his insecurities and grievances and without a single good quality and he’s doing possibly irreparable harm to our security.”
Who agrees?

It's like they took all of Donald Trump's fatal flaws -- the arrogance, the dishonesty, the narcissism, the stupidity, the vanity -- and compressed them into a perfect diamond of disphittery.

I've heard rumors that Philadelphia is next for the ICE invasion after Minneapolis.
Maybe I'm wrong, but
1) More than 11% of all ICE agents are in Minneapolis, and they've utterly failed to pacify the city.
2) Philly is 5x the size of Minneapolis.
3) "Minnesota nice" is a thing. We don't have that.

I can’t believe trying to appease a fascist didn’t work.
If only there had been examples from history to show us that wasn’t effective.

Unbelievable! ICE hauls out an 80 year old US citizen in his underwear and takes him away after breaking down his door on Sunday.
It was only 0° in St. Paul and extremely windy with blowing snow.
SHAME ON THEM!!!

To be fair they are too ignorant to recognize the historical resonance.
There's no better way to observe MLK Day than to go on the news and insist that the civil rights protesters objecting to police brutality are actually "paid agitators"
Rep. Byron Donalds: "These agitators -- who by the way are paid, folks. America, they are paid to do this kind of mess."
