It’s insane that this is what life here has come to. I talked with my kid about going back to school Monday. Told him to be alert, look out for ICE. Stay clear.
Don’t break the law.
But support your friends.
Let people know where danger is. And feel free to tell ICE to fuck off.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Begging credit card companies to play nice is a joke.
I said a year ago if Trump was serious I’d work to pass a bill to cap rates. Since then, he’s done nothing but try to shut down the CFPB.
Trump doesn’t care about affordability. Americans know a fraud when they see one.

When I talk about the NYT as a chronicle of power without any true moral center, this is the kind of shit I mean
This bizarre and dangerous claim violates literally every section of our Constitution, which was built by geniuses explicitly to limit individual power.
Those entrusted with enforcing our Constitution have a duty to every Conservative and Liberal American. A duty to act. Now.

like so much of what US intelligence agencies have done abroad, when you said it at the time people thought you were crazy, but 15 years later it's an accepted part of history that definitely wouldn't happen today c'mon don't be crazy
The United States was responsible for the massive production of opium (used for heroin) in Afghanistan between 2002-2022.
The CIA and US Special Forces ran the largest drug cartel. When they left, production collapsed (Not that you should hand it to the Taliban or anything)

For 248 years the streets of America didn’t feature a roving masked federal kidnapping squad that might send you a Central American death camp or just murder you themselves, but getting rid of it now is some impossible lefty fantasy that professional Democrats lamentably must struggle against.
Classic Democratic no-win. All of them voted against the OBAA, which supercharged ICE funding and hiring. But they won't say they'd "abolish ICE" so they'll get yelled at (mostly by people who'll vote for them in the midterms after threatening not to).
