Mass today in South Philly.
Priest: the Mass has ended. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord, and go Birds
People: Thanks be to God. Go birds!

The grimness of US history should encourage us. Yes, people used to send lynching postcards. And other people saw that, worked towards building a more just society anyway, and succeeded beyond anyone's wildest imagination. There's more work to be done. What's our excuse for choosing despair instead?
I understand and appreciate the fact that for some it is genuinely uncomfortable and distracting to think about how grim US history is. yes, that is strategically relevant, and no, I wouldn't put "did you know people used to send lynching photos to each other as postcards?" on a recruitment flyer

I'm sorry, abolishing ICE is now off the table as the centrist compromise.

The president of the United States is so brain-dead that he doesn't remember which country he's threatening to destroy the world's greatest military alliance over.
Trump on NATO: "Until the last few days when I told them about Iceland, they loved me. They called me daddy."

Anyone who spends five seconds thinking about this issue would figure undocumented immigrants commit far less crime. Think about it: they have SO much more to lose. They’re already here, where they want to be. They wouldn’t risk losing that.
No evidence immigrants - including undocumented – associated with crime (on the contrary).
This isn't said enough. It is a foundational LIE used to support a host of horrible policies.
Immigration = LESS crime.

Totally senile. Nothing left.
The ideation is grotesque, but listen to how often Trump repeats himself. This is the worst I've heard him as far as repetition.
Trump says he hopes Renee Good's parents still like him after ICE killed her:
"When I learned her parents and her father in particular, I hope he still is, a tremendous Trump fan. All for Trump. Loved Trump. ... they said he loves you. I hope he still feels that way. It’s a hard situation."

🕯️My cousin Brian passed away last night. After a courageous 3 wk stint with ICE. He slipped on a fellow agent’s frozen peepee puddle & somersaulted many times in the air, yelling “yabbada yabbada yabbada” & tragically aspirating (a different) agent’s pee he’d been gargling. He hated women🇺🇸💔

If you are an American, the highest taxes you’ve ever paid in your lifetime are right now, because of the president’s losing trade wars.
New tariff just dropped.
Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.
It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June.
(Aside: A trade war with one EU country is a trade war with the entire EU).

And when that was done, he said, “fucking bitch.”
Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who killed Renee Good positioned *himself* in front of her car against DHS and police protocol
As she steered away from him he fired his first shot through the far lower left of her windshield
Then he fired two more shots through her open side window as she drove away

Watching this I have the very unsettling feeling that I am likely to die at the hands of these chuds sometime in the next couple years. I’m unwilling to cede my country to the fascists and so I guess this is going to be it. Weird feeling.
This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.
