I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

This is why I moved off Substack to Ghost. The Nazis will migrate to any big platform but when a platform actively promotes them, that is a choice
for the terminally online this is *far* from a revalation and also, i *really* hope that it will push more people to jump to another platform. there are places that will help you migrate your newsletter and don't profit off hate speech.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!

And distract from the Epstein files that still haven't been released
AOC: If you can keep people divided, then you can continue to loot the economy.
They are they are trying to distract from the fact that prices have exploded, that people's health insurance is being stripped, $1 trillion out of health care to fund this violence.

Good talking points when you contact your congresspeople about ICE funding and anything else that the regime is doing
@gluesenkampperez.house.gov
Do you still feel you made the right vote in light of the murder of Alex Pretti by an ICE agent today?
I will ensure to put my money towards your challenger, I will canvas to get you out of office for what you have done and I will fight for the people you abandoned.

Washington resident here:
did your constituents call and ask you to vote for this? Or did you vote for it out of fear for some non existent interest poll?
You voted for something that is getting Americans killed, violently and abducting children.
There is no justification, this is vile.

I am once again asking why Stephen Miller is a principal on foreign policy issues. He was at the meeting with Ukraine and Israel. His official title is Homeland Security Advisor, but appears to have a hand in any policy domain he wants.
the photographer was definitely like, "ok everybody, look tough!" but we know they're all just reading tweets with their arms crossed in a country club dining room divided up by bedsheets tacked to the beams

Epstein redactions aren't believable, and they are valuable to fascists specifically because they aren't believable.
Fascists prefer lies to truth. Believing in a lie is preferable to believing a truth, if what you want is to dominate.
Believing lies dominates truth. So they believe lies.

I once crossed paths with Rob Reiner the activist down near the Supreme Court in DC. We were both there protesting something — I think it was the Senate confirmation of Kavanaugh in 2018. In the one second we locked eyes he grinned and I could see he knew that I recognized him. 💔
