gotta agree with this. at some point we all have to contend with what good faith is actually for and extend it accordingly
A lot of our political discourse would be easier if we didn't extend good faith to people who would never extend it back.

This is Maria, a 6-year-old detained by ICE last year.
She began to unravel soon after arriving at a detention center in Texas, wetting the bed after years without accidents, crying through the night and begging to breastfeed again.
Most of all, she wanted to be reunited with her cat, Milo. 1/

The left very, very loudly said - between 2016 and 2022 - that inflationary policy was OK so long as it was in service of increased social welfare programs.
So, the Biden Administration delivered that.
In return for this, the left called them out-of-touch on economics and, eventually, genociders.

I think it's true that a lot of Americans have financial challenges they didn't have decades ago but that is not the same as poverty and those challenges are made worse, not helped, by spreading bullshit implications around the idea that we can somehow lower inflation while also providing services

I'm not sure what to make of it, but every Somali I represent in immigration court currently (8 of them) have today had their hearings cancelled and their judges reassigned. They're now all assigned to a video judge from Louisiana and scheduled for court hearing in one month. 🧵

so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.
Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

Some people think the danger has passed (though it clearly has not) and so they're free to go back to what they really care about: ensuring they and not their presumed ideological enemies are running the resistance movement.

Elizabeth is a Columbia Heights fourth-grader who loves volleyball, learning English and giggling in the halls with her friends. She's been held in the Dilley Immigration Processing Center for nearly a month, and she and her mom have both fallen ill. sahanjournal.com/education/co...

All through my teens & 20s I recall being told that it was easy to spot the cops: they were the ones always focused on encouraging others to engage in violence & property
Now I come on social media & I'm told that no, actually it's the people encouraging you not to who are really the cops

Imagine you're an average resident of Minneapolis trying to strike a war-life balance. You're spending your money donating essential supplies for mutual aid for people who can't leave the house. You tail an ICE vehicle only for it to drive right by your house and point to it. It's a clear threat. 1x

This administration’s treatment of a NATO ally is both incredibly disgraceful and contrary to U.S. national interests.
Such is the outrage in Denmark over both Trump’s desire for Greenland and disparaging remarks about NATO that one of the country’s leading newspapers devoted their Saturday front and plenty of room inside to the bios of all 44 Danes slain during NATO missions in support of the US
