Tolerance is an agreement, not a suicide pact. We AGREE to tolerate each other. If one side refuses to tolerate the other, then there IS NO AGREEMENT to uphold, and we are NOT called to tolerate their intolerance. No paradox at all.
Pinned
For those wondering: we *are* morally obligated to extend the *offer* of a tolerance agreement, and accept it *if agreed*.

Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024

UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M.

HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The very well-accepted term for "stripping the legal protections of a minority group and then sending a paramilitary force to carry them away" is "ethnic cleansing."

They are planning to ethnically cleanse Springfield, Ohio.

The Trump admin is now eyeing Ohio for immigration enforcement operations that could begin as early as next week.

The operation is expected to target Haitian immigrants — with temporary protected status for Haiti expiring on Feb. 3.

The USG is making a choice, every day, to continue to encourage violence. The USG can easily end the bloodshed, and GTFO. 'if we want to “tone down the rhetoric” and stop the “bloodshed,” that is entirely on the federal government and people like you, Tom Homan, to do.' - @mmasnick.bsky.social

When I resigned as co-chair of the National Association of Black Journalists convention after their decision to platform Trump, I took a lot of heat for it.

I was told “Black journalists are going to expose his racism and save America”

Today, the Trump regime is arresting Black journalists.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

I know people are understandably scared, but are we going to keep doing this every five months? This is not a broad coalition. This is four groups who never gave up and a bunch of small groups. This isn't new or interesting, and it actually says more that no actually powerful groups are involved.

Radley is so on the mark zeroing in on this: the creation of new "privacy" rights for federal police. The right to be anonymous to the public. The right not to have anyone know why they shot someone and tried to hide the evidence. "right to privacy" fascism addition.
Federal agents cornered Marimar Martinez, shot her several times, boasted about it, arrested her, lied about her to the public and in the police report, and falsely charged her with assaulting them.

Now the government wants to keep evidence of their lies secret to protect these agents' "privacy."
DeWald cites "privacy interests" for an "agent number 3" and his body worn camera as one of the govt's concerns over making the case material piblic, among other issues.

This unhinged answer from Cava-Bag-Homan is NOT grounded in facts or truth or reality.

Anyone who told you that things would be "better" with Bovino out and Homan in was delusional.
CNN: How did we get to a place where we had Bovino having Border Patrol agents stopping citizens in interior of the country, asking them ID, creating fear? Who made the decisions to allow this kind of operation to proceed?

"Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely."

"I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room"
-- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

"Who's city is it Chief?
Bovino: "It's our fucking city."

And that, in a nutshell, is the problem. It is not a democracy when men with guns and uniforms believe they have more control over a city than its residents.

Trump says he has the power to seize ballots — and now his spy chief is joining FBI raids of election offices.

But guess what?

I co-wrote the order he’s talking about. He’s lying. And a crime might be in progress.

Why we should worry that Trump's spy chief was spotted at an FBI raid of an election office
The incident is beyond suspicious. In fact, it’s a real-time flag of potential corruption — and the president's ambition to rig the coming elections.
