I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

Re ICE actrocities in MN, I’ve already said that lately I feel consistently angrier than I’ve ever felt in my long life.

But I also feel absolutely heartsick. That poor little 5-year old baby kidnapped, imagining how scared he was…

I know many of you feel the same. Love and solidarity to you.

For no reason that withstands any scrutiny, a bunch of masked goons, armed and directed by the federal government have been sicced upon a wonderful US city, with the principal effect of wantonly hurting its people, social life, and reputation.

Every day of this is incomprehensible.
look what they’re doing to my city. apologies for the camerawork

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Thanks so much to everyone who has checked in about what it’s like in Minneapolis right now. This should answer most of your questions:
It’s worse than it looks in Minneapolis
But locals are organizing to keep each other safe from ICE agents.

the perennial "is this a good replacement for twitter / can it become as big as twitter" discussion is so confused. hominids became bipedal about 7 million years ago. for most of the time since we did not have microblogging. it's not a necessity it's a habit, if it all goes away that's fine

On #MLKDay, the UFW remembers the legacy of a hero. #MLK's words are as powerful today as when he wrote them in 1958.

"He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it."

Republicans quote MLK’s I Have a Dream because it’s safe. Ignoring the parts about racism, militarism, poverty, and white moderates being an obstacle to civil rights.

Selective memory is driving the anti-DEI panic and the not-so-quiet erasure of Black history.

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.

ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

Something that can be difficult to grapple with, certainly for me as a generally particular person, is that when it comes to cultivating and maintaining community, you have to understand that there is a world of difference between things that are annoying and things that are materially harmful.

Look I know this is going to be hard here but rigid adherence to lies about Covid is going to push you to the right. It has to. The eugenicist ideas that we can abandon the vulnerable and that vaccine mandates and lockdowns weren’t necessary because only “those people” died can never be democratic.
NEW: This week, Daily Show host Jon Stewart introduced his audience to Jenin Younes, describing her as a courageous civil rights attorney who had been canceled by both the right and left and therefore “must be doing something right.”

Really, she spent years undermining public health—and Democrats.
