“Kamala warned us”

Fuck you

Palestinians warned you
Black people warned you
The Left warned you
Half the international community warned you

The US slide into fascism has been long and slow. Many have been falsely imprisoned or killed by it over decades.

It just finally came for you.

This just isn't true. It was just more orderly. It was not less cruel. ICE is the problem, not the person leading them. They must be abolished.

To be clear, DT is a facist; I just want us to not forget that ICE needs to be dismantled regardless of who is president.
A president I respected . . .

I keep getting people trying to tell me that Gen ai is socialist 💀 because it’s open source, Gen ai is already siphoning billions from social welfare into a slop machine destroying millions of jobs. You wanting to make memes isn’t as important as funding healthcare idk why I need to say this.

Some of y'all are new to this shit so heads up,
DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG TO A PROTEST

Just saw video of ICE agents do what is natural to them -- spontaneously choose violence -- and someone was carrying their dog near a cloud of mace.

There's no reason. If you cant leave them alone, STAY HOME.

ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

Tonight, I missed a virtual forum with Indivisible Edgewater.

I want to apologize and explain my absence, as well as reaffirm my commitment to being accessible to any and all 9th District residents.

Once again, I’m very sorry for this and we are trying to reschedule for another time.

On the ground here in Minnesota, it’s hard to reconcile the immense bonds of community that have been built in a week with the fact that we live in a country whose government appropriated billions of dollars to an unaccountable paramilitary force whose sole purpose is ethnic cleansing.

So, if I'm reading this right:

4 prosecutors at the Dept of Justice Civil Rights division quit because the Trump-appointed leadership won't investigate Good's killer,

and

6 from the Minnesota US Attorney's office quit when they were told instead to investigate her widow.

They're using AI to screen candidates, so eventually it will just be 100s of bots applying to jobs that will autoreject them. 100% unemployment here we come!
