This is clear evidence that green policy framed *within* a socialist transformation, with a strong populist narrative, can 100% be a winning political platform.

I will never get over the fact that the Republican Party chose as its standard-bearer, and this country elected as its President, quite possibly the worst human being on the planet.
Trump: "ICE is gonna be too rough with somebody. They're gonna make a mistake sometimes. I felt horribly when I was told the young woman had the tragedy. But when I learned her father is - I hope he still is, but I don't know - was a tremendous Trump fan. It's terrible. It's so sad. It just happens"

And dems think ICE just needs ”training”.
Imagine you are talking to someone about the holocaust.
And they say “those Nazis should have had more training and this wouldn’t have been so bad.”
Yeah. It DOES sound crazy.
Because it is.
Do serial killers also need more training?

Two men in ICE detention say they saw guards kill a fellow detainee. Now the Trump administration is trying to deport the witnesses.
This looks a lot like a cover-up. We need an independent investigation NOW. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Folks, if you know any Minnesotan, you'll know that many of us will bring up Minnesota and Minnesota things at every possible opportunity. If we manage to ride out military occupation, we're going to be absolutely insufferable for the next 20 years. Think about what you're risking here.

And if my fellow middle-aged white men are at a loss as to what they should say, remember that "I'M SORRY ABOUT WHATEVER WENT WRONG WITH YOUR PENIS" always works.
ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.
