complete symmetry with the lines of both reactionary centrists and conservatives. 'you should have to hang out with my disgusting friend' is the real unifying pillar of all ideologies

I don't actually think this is true, I think people on social media talk a lot about average dipshit tankies because they're on here too, they often disproportionately shape the discourse, and they're usually in your mentions sending you death threats and calling you slurs.
big chunk of online left-of-center types took "intent doesn't matter" re: racism etc & allowed it to metastasize into "actual ability to wield power doesn't matter, ergo the average dipshit tankie and Guy Breaking The Leahy Law To Facilitate Genocide are not just morally but practically equivalent"

lmao bro why would you do that
Sens Jon Husted (R-OH) & Bernie Moreno (R-OH) both got big payments from Les Wexner and then on cue started to disparage investigations into the Epstein files. This is how the corrupt system works.

Honestly the best time to wage an offensive war against these human warehouse concentration camps is before they are in operation.

It’s easier for Americans to reject something off the bat than to admit when we have committed a wrong.
man i just have such a bad feeling about the stories we're going to get (and not get) as they get these warehouse concentration camps up and running

can't help but think they want roofed buildings to avoid camera coverage

I'm gonna be honest, there's no obvious way to distinguish this guy from ICE.
Law enforcement on Tuesday released photos of a masked individual appearing to tamper with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door on the morning of her disappearance. 🔗 on.wsj.com/46uTQjq

The NYT says Democratic proposals for reforming ICE are “facing blowback.”

But blowback from who? Not the people! Polls show support for most reforms exceeds 60%, with some ideas reaching as high as 94% of the public!

truly an earthquake in NJ politics. also the biggest coup yet for NJ WFP and maybe even for the WFP as a national org—what other elected is a former high-ranking WFP official?
Winner winner.

A 62yo grandma from the suburbs just joined the dsa chapter (and slack) and explained she got pulled in after getting started through no kings and handmaiden protests. She’s doing the new members orientation tonight. Something is shifting.

I think it's important that everyone in this chain of command hang.
This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.
We are murdering people and it is basically just background noise at this point. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/u...

Redfield is a Trump appointee and known crank. If COVID was circulating in summer of 2019, the entire timeline of the pandemic would be different. Chinese authorities were not "pushing the wet market narrative," they actively covered it up.

"A threat to anyone’s constitutional rights is a threat to us all. Today, immigrants are being detained without due process. Tomorrow, under the Government’s [view], American citizens could be subject to the same treatment. This Court will not allow such an unraveling of the Constitution."
BONUS RULING: Judge Thomas Johnston, a George W. Bush appoiintee in West Virginia, used a recent ruling to warn of the dangers of defying due process for immigrants because of what it could also mean for Americans. It's worth a read.

that's certainly what it brings to mind
The largest federal prison in the nation is Fort Dix, which has a rated capacity of 4,600 people. The largest of these warehouse camps may hold more than twice that number of people.

The federal government hasn't operated a prison camp inside the United States that large since Japanese Internment.
