It's -20 in Minneapolis and organizers are in the streets before dawn getting ready for actions related to the general strike. They've had locals training out-of-town volunteers on how to prepare for and endure the cold. AND IT IS WORKING. THE STRIKE IS HAPPENING. THE CITY IS DOING THE DAMN THING...

An Iranian man being deported last fall told NYT he was so afraid of returning to Iran that tried to slit his wrists on the tarmac before being loaded onto an ICE flight. He soon escaped Iran again, and his family was being harassed by the revolutionary guard.
My org @immcouncil.org represents those two gay men. They had been arrested on charges of sodomy by Iranian moral police, and fled the country seeking asylum. They face the death penalty if returned, yet the Trump admin denied their asylum claims in a kangaroo court process.
They are terrified.

“I’m becoming radicalized,” said the Rev. James Galasinski, who leads a Unitarian Universalist congregation in Canton, New York. “I’m seeing our nation become more and more fascist before my eyes — I saw it. I saw it. I mean, demanding papers? I never thought I would live in a country like this.”

Anyways if rigging the midterms and the next Presidential election is so foolproof why didn't they already rig the NJ and VA elections?
This is the stupidest stuff I've read this year so far and I will tell you why so you don't have to read it.

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

That's okay, I'm sure the kids will *love* being on an app that suffers rapid enshitification, is directly tied to a massively unpopular regime, and is coded to hide their content if it isn't worshipful enough of the decaying husk of the Tang Emperor.

books about this era are going to heavily feature the failed Horst Wesseling of Kirk. it was the first place where the regime wanted something, got elite buy-in, and it blew up in their face
just thinking again about how MAGA’s attempt to suppress all criticism of Charlie Kirk created a backlash so intense that he is now probably the most abjectly Internet-defiled person in human history
genuinely Charlie Kirk may have been more degraded and demeaned by the Internet at this point than anyone else in human history

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

This family did every single thing they’ve been asked to in order to seek asylum here.
Yet in less than 24 hours, this kid and his Dad were nabbed off our streets and sent to Texas, using tactics that can only be described as pure evil.

Los Angeles is almost certainly the worst governed major blue city in the entire country at this point
L.A. Metro, the main transit operator for Los Angeles, just voted to oppose SB 79, a law legalizing the construction of housing near stations. You can't make this stuff up. Legislators should remember this the next time they come to Sacramento begging for more money.

absolutely insane to see Musk feted at Davos as the icon of a boldly "optimistic" future in 2026, as if he hadn't just spent the last year buying elections for fascists, making Nazi salutes, condemning millions in Africa to death, and building "Mechahitler," and a nonconsensual porn/CSAM generator

i think this is correct and i think what it exposed is that our regular legal order was fundamentally incapable of overcoming partisan polarization to impose said consequences
i feel that the failure to impose any consequences on Trump for January 6 is the root cause of everything bad that is happening now

Kash has of course done a lot of damage as the head of the FBI but I was worried he would come in as a Miller-esque true believer laser focused on weaponizing the place and he's mostly just dismantled it largely through neglect because he is laser-focused on Being A Celebrity

JD Vance: "I didn't say that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That's absurd. What I did say is that when federal law enforcement officers violate the law that's typically something federal officials would look into. We don't want these guys to have kangaroo courts."
