Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Drugs are not weapons of war. They are drugs.

The president’s word on who is or is not a drug dealer is not trustworthy. He and his administration have been caught lying about that multiple times.

Even if blowing up random boats were legal under the laws of armed combat, it’d be stupid strategy.

If you voted for Trump 3 times, and his policies put you out of business, shouldn’t you be asking Eric and Trump Org for your bailout instead of the rest of us?

TikTok is still illegal. Whatever, man.

Tariffs violate dozens of treaties. Who cares?

Impoundment? What are laws & contracts, anyway?

Hatch Act? Feh. Own the libs.

You don’t have to ask <if> or <when> the democratic backsliding will begin. You (& I) already don’t live under the rule of law.

He’s the only Republican there. He sent all the rest of them home again to avoid a vote on the Epstein files. Since Johnson has become Speaker they have probably been in recess at least 3 out of every 4 days. And they’ve done NOTHING on health care for years. bsky.app/profile/atru...

No.
When the Ohio GOP mandated a picture id to vote, the most basic photo id card, not a dl, was supposed to be free, as Dems pointed out that some that don't have official state IDs don't have one b/c they can't afford one. So the Rs relented and offered a free one. For 2024. Not now tho it seems

Listen for dangerous words.

Text card: Listen for dangerous words.
Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary.

James Baldwin to Angela Davis in 1970, discussing white Americans:

Or, to put it another way, as long as white Americans take refuge in their whiteness— for so long as they are unable to walk out of this most monstrous of traps-they will allow millions of people to be slaughtered in their name, and will be manipulated into and surrender themselves to what they will think of-and justify—as a racial war. They will never, so long as their whiteness puts so sinister a distance between themselves and their own experience and the experience of others, feel themselves sufficiently human, sufficiently worthwhile, to become responsible for themselves, their leaders, their country, their children, or their fate. They will perish (as we once put it in our black church) in their sins—that is, in their delusions. And this is happening, needless to say, already, all around us.
