They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

Reminder to anyone who lives in a closed-primary state (orange in the image) that if you want to vote on who will be the Democratic candidate in a November race, you need to be registered *as a Democrat.*

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO
this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Newsom is a political ally of convenience; he is not our friend and he should not be president.

And the beauty of it is that you have time. You know there will be an end one day, so there is no point in chasing it. Instead, live for today.
The #Consolation of Dying
It is not a wish,
not a yearning for endings,
but a quiet recognition
that everything-every bruise of the day,
every unfinished sentence,
every grief that keeps pulling up a chair
will someday loosen its grip.

Too many thorns today. Not enough room to stand or lay down, only enough to sit. Fatigue looms, coiling around me. There is beauty, but not much joy. There is hope, but not much progress. I can not seem to get comfortable.
I am tired, but I will try again tomorrow.

Before we all get caught up about the second strike being a war crime, let's all take a second to remember that the first strike was *also* a war crime.

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

It is tempting to look away, to ignore it just to protect yourself and your sanity. But as a father, the very idea that this is happening at all, let alone in my country, let alone by people who claim to be *representing me*, is unconscionable. It must be seen, because it must be stopped.
These are the living conditions ICE/border patrol provides for the children they kidnap.
Does this look pro-Life to you?

The pro-Nick Fuentes Administration destroying people and institutions on the basis of “fighting antisemitism” has me losing my damn mind.
The Nazi-sympathizers pretending to be protectors of American Jews has to be one of the most profound mindfucks in an era rife with them.

The more I think about it, the timing, the players, the politics... the more it feels like oligarchic lever-pulling. The eight senators were the tip of the iceberg, the most expendable ones. We are meant to be angry at them; they are the PR equivalent of human shields.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"
