I'm going to hold everyone's hands when I say this. Citizen's United injected so much rich people money into politics that it has completely fucked American elections and everything we see has a direct line back to that decision. You cannot have an effective labour movement until it's overturned.
If you're ruthless for the right, you get money put behind you. If you're ruthless for the left, you get money put against you.
America First Legal got >$50 million in funding. A left version of the same would get attacked by Dem orgs and donors, and everyone associated with it blacklisted forever.

I will note something I keep hearing from different lawyers, immigration activists, Dem operatives et al:

When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds who’d just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. “I’m willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,” he recounted afterward.

I think we’ve gotten to the point where the endless footage of fascists attacking people and invading their homes has started to become normalized and holy hell stuff like this is so far beyond okay or tolerable.
These people need to go to jail. Abolish, yes, but call for them to be put away.

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this?
Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids.
She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms.
Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen.

So many videos of these masked thugs Making Us Safer
ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A.
After realizing he’s American, they just slink away.
Their only explanation: “Why were you running?”
Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

This is a jaw-dropping lie. Check my feed for videos of ICE at Dodger Stadium trying to get into the parking lot and being blocked by the LAPD.
FWIW: ICE spokesperson tells HuffPost it "was never at Dodgers stadium, and thus never tried to gain access;" referring one of our reporters to Border Patrol

Fascism is here. Union leaders assaulted and arrested, members of Congress prosecuted on ludicrous charges, a Senator violently assaulted and handcuffed, threats to "remove" duly elected leaders, refusal to obey court orders.
We the People must rise up and say no. We will not tolerate it.

This is much the same logic as arresting the judge in WI. There is obviously nothing wrong with asking law enforcement, including masked officials, to confirm they are, in fact, law enforcement. The goal is to create an absolutely subservient population.

73% of Americans drink coffee every day. Nobody wants to see 250 million people simultaneously go through caffeine withdrawl
I mean this is not a big deal in the scope of things but the US produces less than 1% of the coffee it consumes and there's no room to chance that because there's nowhere to grow it.
What kind of utter dumbass puts a protective tariff on coffee under those circumstances?
