As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island).

The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.

When they can’t fuck children, they terrorise them, and when they can’t terrorise them, they arrest and abuse them, and when they’re done abusing them, they put them on a plane and discard them. America’s pedophile president and his pedophile party and their creepy loser abuser militia.

The immanent contradiction of dominance masculinity is that it both claims absolute authority and strength and also cannot countenance even the slightest challenge.
We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Pro tip for any Hill journos, the Speaker can approve 24hr protection for Members who are under heightened threat. Omar used to have this, but Mike Johnson took it away. You should ask him about that

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Everything that you’re watching ICE and BP do mimics local policing of racialized neighborhoods. We can compare these federal agencies to European fascists but we can also compare them to the gang units that have terrorized my family.

Just a reminder that things are actually accelerating in Minnesota not decelerating after they remove bovino.

As myself and a few others on the academic and research side of countering authoritarianism have been trying to point out, the fascists are attempting counterinsurgency and pacification

Contrary to a commonly repeated myth, neither a Consulate nor an Embassy is actually foreign soil, nor is entering one illegally an 'invasion.'

It is however a direct violation of the Vienna Convention on Consular/Diplomatic Relations, and a very big deal.

ICE & U.S. Customs & Border Protection employed at least 30 people with sexual & violent criminal histories in recent years.

At least 20 agents committed offenses with underage victims. The bulk of abuse happened within the last two years.

This article includes names of the agents.
