My heart is crying in pain as I watch my 5 kids and my wife—who suffers from mitral valve prolapse—fall apart. They are trembling from the cold, unable to sleep because of the relentless shivering. We urgently need $200 to shelter 🥶🥹🥶😭😭

I just want to say that 1) AltWatcher is doing the lord's work and 2) the altnps account, in my opinion, needs to be outright banned - and I don't say that merely because I loathe it, but because it's unbelievably unhealthy for this fake, plagiarizing, qanon-lite account to have this influence.
AltNPS posted about Alex Pretti's murder 25 times since this morning. During that time, they spread misinformation about the shooting, lied about knowing the shooter's name, and generally flooded the zone with shit.

They're trying to milk this story for all it's worth.

I love Starmerism, it's like "Uh no this guy can't be an MP because people like him. Only people everyone hates can be in Labour." It is so cool and smart.
NEW: Andy Burnham *blocked* from standing in the Gorton and Denton byelection. Of nine voting members on NEC group was 8-1 against him.

We are dying from the bitter cold in Gaza, shivering. Our tents are flooding & collapsing, and we are homeless without a tent & unable to sleep. Our simplest dream is to live in a tent.
We implore you to donate & support us so we can buy a tent, blankets, sleeping mats.

Winter storms are coming, and my father and I are homeless. We desperately need a sturdy tent to protect us from the freezing rain and wind. All we ask is for simple shelter to survive these harsh nights. Please help us find safety.

People just get online and write the most startlingly classist thing you have ever seen despite the fact that our ruling class is foaming at the mouth racist, very wealthy, and having a nice time at the Spectator garden party.
you underestimate the amount of knuckle dragging racists in the English working class, these types of bastards are thick, believe any meme and have no morality sadly, they just need racism

The same people who said that the mass murder of children in schools was a sad but necessary price to enable citizens to bear arms and oppose tyranny are now saying that if you carry a gun it’s your fault if you’re murdered.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: there must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups the law binds but does not protect
The videos of both murders show that ICE agents are cowards of the basest kind

If you're wondering why the Dem Party just seems inept, I think this is the best explanation.

There is no party. There is a fundraising machine masquerading as a party.
For three decades now the party has given up local organizational presence in favour of an electoral get out the vote model. The leadership is built for fund raising, stumping, and legislative work. They do not bear any semblance to the idea of local surgeries or constituency mobilization.

There is no such thing as a fucking "immigration problem"

I grew up in a town full of undocumented immigrants, the family of my best friend in kindergarten was undocumented, undocumented immigrants were a net positive for our community

I'm so sick of this framing
All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

I don’t know why this is so hard for people but people you have to repeatedly call and beg to ask them to oppose murder in the streets will never really be on your side

in trying to understand what makes ICE and CBP so dangerous right now, it is tempting to imagine some new lack of training or experience or professionalism—and not grapple with the truth that a white nationalist movement has put more power and force behind their existing mission

the fear of 'becoming' a minority is a fear of having to treat Other people as human beings

that's what they think hell is

a world where they cannot be supreme and untouchable

it is also known as material reality
white men have always been a minority

the only way to make them the majority was and is to deny the humanity of everybody else
