you can pick-up a copy through our Bandcamp. Highly recommend grabbing a vinyl copy of that is your thing. We’re down to the last 60 out of 200 copies we have available for direct sales online or at shows. After that you’ll have to find one of the handful left through retail or Little Cloud Records.

As someone who grew up in a very "red" area, I find the fantasy some people seem to have about this kind of thing pretty baffling. It strikes me as someone who's very not used to being around conservative working-class people and so romanticizes them, rather than that being the norm.

i just feel like if you were writing a movie about a secret police force that steals cars with babies inside, the studio would tell you to tone it down

And also as a major plank in their “that’s why it should be illegal for anyone to transition, and we should coerce them by any possible means to desist or die” campaign.
For many, they’ve spent way too long watching creeps use “birth rates” as an entry point into “and that’s why people with uteruses shouldn’t have human rights” - and in our current fascist crisis in the USA, perhaps its best to table those discussions until the eugenics Nazis are out of office.

I realize that I’m being that girl, but the critiques directed at ICE here - that it will attract white nationalists who wish to do violence, that it will attempt to use its violence to take political power and choose its own leaders - are indistinguishable from defund’s critiques of police.

If you have “sincere concerns” about trans athletes in sports, all it means is that you have given yourself a rationale for your bigotry that you sincerely believe exonerates you for aligning to a far-right tactic for marginalization and exclusion.

The stated reason for ICE agents being in Minnesota is because of the ongoing fraud claims around daycare and other services.
The two prosecutors leading those investigations have now resigned in the wake of Renee Good’s shooting. Even the internal supposed logic of this deployment is falling apart

This is Minneapolis:
Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.
Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

I’m not trying to be the Debbie downer on this. I WANT ICE abolished. But for all this “this is now the baseline for Democrats” talk on here, Democrats don’t actually believe you. Patty Murray is literally negotiating an INCREASE to ICE’s budget in the upcoming CR. Like, today. Right now.

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.
one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

if you had a livejournal, you likely have lived in a world without ICE
semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003
when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

When you say that “most Americans support the murder of Renee Good (or most other awful MAGA actions,” you are doing Trump’s propaganda work for him.
Polling makes it very clear that most Americans do NOT support this shit.

the last year has been one long exercise in finding out who has principles and who is a spineless worm fit only to wriggle in the dirt.
we have been way too tolerant of cowards: we should be demanding that far more people in power who claim to be against the murderous evil of MAGA meet the standard currently being demonstrated by Jerome Fucking Powell
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."
