So, let's get this straight. Christopher "Moot" Poole created 4chan as a gathering place for hentai and CSAM enthusiasts, started /pol/ the day he met with Jeffrey Epstein, then /pol/ memed Trump to the presidency and birthed Qanon, a conspiracy theory in which Trump is a good person who hates CSAM.

It was fucking cold, and the snow was heavy, but the energy of this crowd warmed my heart.
It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Chicago was bad, but Minneapolis looks worse.
After Renee Macklin Good was fatally shot by federal immigration agents, Ben and Sam Luhmann, 17 and 16 years old, traveled to Minneapolis, where they continue to observe and record U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agents' aggressive tactics.
Suburban teen brothers on ICE watch in Minneapolis: 'This is nothing like Chicago. This is so much worse.’

This is what Democrats should be doing.
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is introducing an amendment to cut ICE’s $75 billion funding increase, and to use those funds to restore the federal cuts to health care.

This is what Democrats should be doing.
They’re selling us out, angling for cosmetic changes that will make no difference out on the streets.
"The Democrats are pushing reforms that they know won’t work because they are doing performative, perfunctory opposition to try to quiet their base, instead of real legislating and fighting to dismantle Trump’s ICE and CBP." newrepublic.com/article/2059...
Senate Democrats’ ICE Proposals Are a Huge and Inexcusable Whiff
Their opening bid should have been eight or 10 bold proposals. But as usual, the Democrats start by negotiating with themselves.

It worked this way with elected officials too. They started with Black politicians.
Arresting Black journalists is also vice signaling. Their base is racist and hates journalists and they want to get them excited again. The mainstream media industry has never protected Black journalists or journalists of color the way it should.

He’s telling the truth. But traitorous Democrats are pushing a dirty deal to fund ICE anyway.
Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

From the worst editorial board in the US. This rag’s founder used booze as a pretext to persecute Irish. So the Trib is pissed off we can no longer use marijuana as a pretext to persecute POC.
From the Editorial Board: A trip to the United Center often means a chance to see world-class athletes and some of the biggest names in music. More than enough to buzz about, without the aid of cannabis at what is after all a family venue.
