They're directly targeting Ukrainians because Putin is now using the US as a proxy army for his war.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

There are far more voters than ICE agents. People should plan to stay at their polling place all day. Make it a party. Meet your neighbors. Talk politics. Gather food trucks. Make it a safe place for voters who are nervous. ICE agents always back off when they are outnumbered.

If you’re bold enough to spell out slurs at a school event you should be exposed. They’re seniors and they rearranged the letters to spell out the F word slur.

I mean, the frustrating thing about guys like TCW is that they believe themselves to be hyper-sophisticated and see people like me — I mean, and literally me of course — as engaged in “oversimplification.” But, like, I have read those works and more! I am very familiar with this literature!

The biggest problem here is he treats maga's whitewashing of slavery as a reaction to the overreach of the 1619 Project. The truth is that maga embraces racism bc it is a racist movement, not bc of anything the left did

the other bizarre thing about this is that it treats American slavery — a social, cultural, political and economic institution — as somehow beyond and outside of politics, and thus untethered to contemporary political questions. which, again, the mind of a simpleton. bsky.app/profile/mich...

i have said this before but among chatterton’s many problems as a “thinker” is that he doesn’t
believe the political right has any agency or history. everything in his mind is a function of the summer of 2020. history begins and ends there. it is the perspective of a simpleton.

The American right does not defend slavery because progressives say it was bad. They defend slavery because racial hierarchy has been an important and increasingly explicit component of their ideology for 70 years. Read a fucking book.

One of the most successful pieces of far right propaganda was to convince so many Christians that helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, loving all our neighbors, and caring for our planet was “leftist” and wasn’t actually part of following Jesus.

If ICE and CBP don't want to be called secret police, then don't wear masks.
If they don't want to be accused of kidnapping, then don't drag people out of cars & houses without warrants.
And if they don't want to be accused of being lawless, then start following the law.
