China is trying to erase the Uighurs and their culture
Uighurs are neither extremists nor separatists as Beijing claims. They just want their rights.

I think accuracy is important, especially on a global scale. Just because a power opposes US interests doesn't make them good.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Yes, and: in most of these interactions people ARE being polite. ICE are the ones being confrontational and violent.

I think a lot of people who weren't online and involved in dealing with channers/Gamergate etc. haven't understood until now how deeply depraved the right is
this is what they are all like. they sincerely think not just that women/minorities should face discrimination, but that we should die

“polls still say the economy is the biggest issue…” walk and chew gum at the same time, guys. you’ve got nationwide protests, if you can’t harness that energy you’re not a leader and you’re never gonna win. republicans turn things that are far from the top of polls into rallying issues all the time.

what I’m hearing is that he probably almost killed someone in a different car
The agent, Jonathan Ross, was dragged by a vehicle and injured during a June operation in the Twin Cities, court records show.
ICE agent who fatally shot woman in Minneapolis is identified
Jonathan Ross, a Minnesota-based agent, was dragged in a separate incident last year by a fleeing motorist.

You have to understand, the agent involved is stupid. We begged him to stop standing in front of cars but he can’t figure it out. He’s stupid and he has anxiety from the time before when he was stupid, so we just have to let him pop off. We wish he weren’t, but he is. And we have to respect that

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.

If you're grasping for anything to feel good about right now - and that's a very difficult thing to find - feel good about the fact that not everyone is as much of a spineless, collaborating coward as our elites. Total strangers will risk their lives to stand next to you.

I have seen three videos now, all of them contradict Tricia's statement. And every single journalist who interacts with her knows that she lies all the time in ways that can be proven, which should also be stated in the piece.
the nyt says that no version of events in minneapolis can be "verified independently." but that's not true! there are multiple videos proving that the ICE version of events is a total lie. maybe the nyt can, y'know, watch one of them? www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

An offensive White House web site of lies is an apt anniversary marker — not just of where Trump is but of where the many institutional failures to stop him have led us.

“Common sense is common sense,” Schultz said. “I don’t need a report, one way or the other, to tell me that. I just firmly believe that minors should not be transitioning.”
This really gives the game away. As we've said, no amount of evidence would ever satisfy them. It's ideological.

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.
Right.
If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests

Some are bots. Some are people who like being contrary to be edgy.
But calling moves the needle, especially against a blatantly illegal act by Trump and Co. ACT.

Candid answer - as someone who handled constituent affairs calls for years - while they’re not checking the phone right now, the urgency of the moment is important.
Show them you care enough to make the weekend call, and be counted that way. Staffers will clock and report this upstream.
