The fact that so many US citizens have no idea Bad Bunny is also a US citizen (and don't believe he can be a US citizen) tells you that when they say "citizen," they really just mean white.

I think it's actually really key that Kendrick embarrassed Drake for being a pedophile right now. . .

when pedophiles are running the country.

It's good for people to reaffirm "this is bad," on multiple levels, in multiple ways,right now

I think…people’s obsession with “a cause”…is precisely because autism’s genetic randomness is hard to stratify by social class……………..

THERE. ARE. NO. 'CAUSES'. OF. AUTISM.

(other than being born as a member of Homo sapiens, which is a huge risk factor for turning out to be Autistic).

It’s why they’re desperately grabbing at power while they can.

They are going to lose control of the country. They have the debased billionaire class, they have a small army of violent bigots. But they don’t have most Americans. They absolutely don’t have enough guys and they know it

The literal reading of this statement is Pam Bondi is planning extrajudicial executions of random protesters.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Seeing many posts about how ICE isn't trained. That's not really the problem. The problem is what they were sent to do, not whether they're qualified to do it.

This very very very bad. I cannot stress this enough. I said that they crossed the Rubicon with arresting Ras Baraka several months ago. This is very bad and portends more bad things for regular people.

The President of the United States is calling for the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois to be jailed.

Every time ICE and the National Guard enter a new city I remember how many people do not understand the expansiveness of the efforts to make this a totalitarian state.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Looks more and more like the raid in Chicago was more than just a fascist terror raid but the use of federal violence to help a bank empty a building they held in receivership.

I’m. So. Tired.

I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

Journalism needs a new style guide for these times. As a start: if the basic material facts of the situation don’t align whatsoever with the official claim, you don’t have to repeat that claim. You are not mandated to cover the lies meant to obscure the facts, only the facts themselves.

Claim: rioters attacked ICE
Truth: ICE rushed at unarmed protesters standing on a patch of grass

Was talking to a Chicago friend today about the federal government’s invasion. They said to me “I know you told me what this was like but I could not have conceived how it felt. What it’s like to experience it.” And I’m so afraid that’s what it will be like for everyone as they roll out their mob.

I think that goes under the grift and corruption goal.

Kinda wild to see when your city has had a tank parading around with a person holding their gun and pointing it at random folks for no reason.

NEW: The militarization of American cities isn’t happening with a parade of tanks. It’s a slow drip of troop deployments that are probing courts’ willingness to give unlimited deference to the commander in chief — and testing workarounds when they don’t.

And for the life of me don’t understand how no one but the squad, Mamdani, and Bernie are talking about any one of those things.

- Leave no one behind as the world changes (Create good govt work for various transitions, paid re-training programs, fix the information ecosystem, free college tuition, university incentives to change their operating models)

I feel like the winning planks for any politician would be:
- make a good life affordable (medicare for all, national child and eldercare, etc)
- remove grift and corruption esp. elite grift and corruption from our systems (ban stock trading in congress, overturn citizens united, etc)
