When I think about measles I think about the number 1,000. Thats the number that epidemiologists use to explain harm from measles in children. With 1,000 cases, about 200 children will require hospitalization, 50 will develop pneumonia, and one to three will die.

South Carolina is at 789.

Yesterday Bovino left and Tom Homan came to town and ICE continued as usual taking multiple people near Central Ave and throughout the suburbs. But we Minnesotans don’t get scared, we get organized and we get in the streets.

Also, it's a case of the Gay Loser Theory of Stochastic Violence.

Republicans sponsor violence. But when someone actually acts violently, they defend themselves by saying he’s not a true patriot, just a gay loser. The guy dies or gets arrested for a movement that, 2s later, smears and vilifies him.
Incredibly, this is an actual photo New York Post used for the guy who attacked Ilhan Omar.

but they won't, and by now we should all know why they won't
Democrats should demand every sitting Republican decry this attack and explicitly denounce it, and then censure all of them when they don’t do it. Act like normal decent humans defending your colleague.

IDK why right-wingers keep bringing up Obama's record deportations, it just shows that if you wanted to have a conservative immigration policy without partisan militias occupying cities and gunning people down in the streets you could do it and a lot of americans would be fine with it

Holy shit, there's an open carry #2A protest of ICE happening in Douglas County Colorado -- a very wealthy and very red suburb county of Denver. (I lived there for 16 years.) The Trump Administration pissing off committed gun owners sufficiently for them to join the protests against ICE is wild.

when politicians - including democrats - refuse to give an eviction moratorium, they are 100% taking part in the ethnic cleansing
Minneapolis has seen a stunning 1,646% spike in calls from families who can't pay rent because they're afraid to leave their homes to work.

This is state violence manufacturing housing precarity in real time.

People should not be facing eviction when their city is under occupation.

this is a Machiavelli-inspired Nazi strategy:

you send in a maniacal *bastard* whom the people rebel against, and then you publicly punish him for going too far, then you replace him with a normally brutal bastard, and the victims are like "this is fine"

congrats to everyone who's falling for it.
