Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

Markey: This administration has proved time and time again that it is only interested in vengeance, that it lies and lacks all humanity. Today, six federal prosecutors resigned because the DOJ wants to investigate Renee's widow rather than Renee's killer

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

.@PabloReports: Why do you think it’s so hard for some to just accept that you have always been for abolishing ICE?
AOC: I don’t know, man. People are like, “Oh, you said cut funding, but not abolish”—how do you think you abolish an agency, man? You don’t keep funding it to the tune of billions

more of these please; across the entire country, in localised and grassroots led movements. I also foresee a good quantity of community organisers becoming congressional candidates or campaigners from this.
Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

and the schmucks love him for it. America seems to be full of them.
There is quite a bit to unpack here:
1) We did not have the highest inflation under Biden. Not even close.
2) He “inherited a remarkable economy” (WSJ) and our economy was ”the envy of the world” (Economist).
3) He’s like a used car salesman, trying to convince a schmuck to buy a shitty car.

Why is he failing to say "That's not true, Mr President"
DOKOUPIL: When I travel the country, they tell me they don't feel it because grocery prices are up--
TRUMP: They're going to now. I've only been here for 11 months. I inherited a mess. If she got in, you wouldn't have this job right now.

Oh we definitely know. They're making it really obvious. Who are you unsure about?
The Cold War had serious ,and mostly competent, people in charge on both sides. There were rules and conventions, written and unwritten and a level mutual respect.
None of that is true now, we don’t even know who the “enemy” is from one day to the next.
