under trump (and frankly under biden too), there is a palestinian exception to the first amendment

history will look with great shame on this. to detain & deport the fiercest advocates for a people experiencing a genocide is unconscionable.

The Dallas area Palestinian Youth Movement reported yesterday that Ya'Kub Ira, an activist and martial arts instructor, was abducted by ICE despite Ira's legal status under DACA.

"This is the second unexpected arrest of someone with proximity to the Palestine movement in the past two weeks."

Also Gingrich and Buchanan. You just do not get the current GOP as it currently is without them, and it's baffling seeing people pretend that this crisis (which it is) just came out of left field with no direct forebears.

She truly is the boringly horrible person imaginable. Doesn’t even have the decency to be horrible in an interesting way. Just working in the most bland way imaginable to make the world worse.

Sometimes I'll be struck with the realization that we live in a world where fully grown adults believe that demons and angels are real things and man, it never feels good.

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

that’s why running “fuck da man” candidates works

Obama was a “fuck da man” progressive, running against a political establishment that had led the US into Iraq and destroyed the economy

but since then, all of democratic national candidates have been dyed-in-the-wool establishmentarians

William B. Fuckley @opinionhaver.bsky.social · 5d

ehh I think it's more accurate to say there's a kind of general 'FUCK DA MAN' low social trust style of politics that is sometimes left-inflected and sometimes right-inflected in mostly incoherent ways

Low social trust leftism is developing in real time, the democrats can lean into this or they can ignore it

"cancel culture" was an overblown thing where some people got fired for sexually harassing their employees and others got yelled at on Twitter. The conservative version, which some claim as an inevitable counterbalance, is doxxing & death threats for making fun of self-proclaimed white supremacists.

idk guys, "we're going to train our military on our cities" seems like the kind of thing that's 1) very bad and 2) very easy to message against but what the fuck do i know

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 8d

Trump to top military officials: "I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military. National Guard, but our military. Because we're going into Chicago very soon. That's a big city with an incompetent governor. Stupid governor."

i keep saying this but what i hate most about the ezra kleins of the world is their insistence is that politics is about messaging and triangulating. its never about offering a compelling vision of the world, its about trying desperately to capitulate to whatever moment we are in

"The too sides have gotten extreme! The left wants to FIX problems and the right wants to make MORE problems! But me, I just want the problems to stay exactly as they are now, forever."

A centrist is someone who generally agrees with the left on many of the problems in the world and who also generally agrees with the right on how to make sure those problems never get fixed.
