i think the big middle event between george floyd protests and covid that accelerated this hard right turn in elite circles was tech employees using slack to stage walk-outs and force concessions from management. tech bosses got a first whiff of organized labor's power and started reading mein kampf
Only in America could a white man with a current net worth of $2 billion see himself as part of a victimized group. 🤦‍♂️

Did y'all catch the fascism in this? "Step into national restoration."
DontMessWithOurKids wants you to accept parent-inflicted trauma and abuse as "normal generational tension" and "common parental failures." They say if you reject your family over this trauma and abuse then you "trade real belonging for empty self-worship." 😠

This group endangers kids.

Another ICE "assault" case unravels. Border Patrol and ICE are arresting US citizens and then after they find out that they are US citizens, they are charging them with "assault" to justify their actions. This is clearly DHS policy at this point. We've seen it repeatedly now.

But the "king" thing is astoundingly direct in how it replicates that old joke from police states. To repeat something once so innocuous & ubiquitous as "sic semper tyrannis" is immediately taken as a treasonous threat. Don't you dare call him a king, but also any opposition to kings is about him.

You can print and mass produce paraphernalia calling for the vehicular massacre of anyone protesting, but if you share a photo of a nintendo character around a news story about another healthcare CEO you're instantly somehow seen as making an actionable and specific threat of violence.

This article is going to be shared with a fuck ton of posturing into the void. We all agree that ICE are genocidaires who have forfeited their humanity. Mocking their whining has no consequence.

You want to know the internal divisions and tensions of the gestapo because the goal is to DEFEAT them.
NEW: I spoke to a dozen current and formers about low morale at ICE amid the Trump admin's relentless push for more and more arrests. Officers and agents aren't complaining or looking for sympathy but they're facing public anger & political pressure from above www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
Trump loves ICE. Its Workforce Has Never Been So Miserable.
A “mission impossible” deportation campaign has left many employees burned out and morally conflicted.

"Arbeit macht frei"
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

Rest In Peace to Philando Divall Castile who was taken from us by police on this day in 2016. (7/16/1983 - 7/6/2016).

If somehow every single person involved with a major news outlet was abruptly thrown into the sun, the genocidal march in this country would dramatically slow. It's not even a question. The engine of fascism pumps through the NYTimes and FOXnews. Everyone knows it.

How about you try to improve conditions for the people who live there?
At this point, anybody who willingly goes to Idaho, Texas or Florida is not ok. I am so sorry to anyone who is stuck there, but honestly, try to leave, ok?

Ultimately it’s that we don’t value human life. If you are inconvenient you are expendable. If you cost the machine anything you are expendable. If you are Black or trans or an immigrant, you aren’t even considered human enough to be expendable.

Humans are not inherently valuable in this equation.
Almost everything comes back to the fact that the baseline of dignity this country affords every person is just way, way too low.

Conservatives hate trans people so much that they will censure us for speaking against bills that physically harm our community.
