In America, we don’t use federal agents to intimidate citizens out of participating in their own democracy. Yet more than a dozen Border Patrol agents showed up Thursday in downtown LA at a rally Gov. Gavin Newsom held on congressional redistricting an event that had nothing to do with immigration.

So let me get this straight, an unelected South African fraudster is wandering around government buildings with a bunch of podcast-addicted NeoNazi groypers, stealing sensitive taxpayer data, and the billionaire-owned press doesn’t see a story there?

I don't want my appliances to be connected to the internet. I don't want them to have blinky lights or touch screen controls or be accessible by phone. All I want is for them to do the one thing they are supposed to do, and to beep less.
Hear that, manufacturers? Less beeping.

Poverty is a policy choice. Mass incarceration is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. Insulin rationing is a policy choice. Climate disintegration is a policy choice. Billionaire tax loopholes are a policy choice.
