Truly. I need all non-Black folk to understand that your surprise at how Good is being handled and her death is being laundered right now is an indictment of your understanding and belief in things Black folk have been saying for your whole life. You cannot both believe us and be surprised by this.
Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there
Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

We all already know ICE never left Chicago, but just to emphasize: several vehicles have been spotted out and about this morning. Unconfirmed (for now) reports of several abductions.

not to go all identity politics but I think it’s also because the victims are women
one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

It should be fairly clear by now that our ruling class is banking on an oligarchy hardening into place and all of them will do whatever depraved shit the admin asks for to have a seat when the music stops
Hilton said it is breaking from a franchise that was accused of canceling ICE agents' reservations at its Minneapolis-area location

So they like to use Hilton hotels? Probably others, too, but they use Hilton enough to be pissed off by this? Interesting way to dox themselves, I guess

Chicago yesterday—
In the wake of an attack on Venezuela that killed at least 80 people and resulted in President Maduro abducted by American forces, anti-war orgs gathered in the cold for an emergency protest against U.S. intervention.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Full citizenship and the destruction of the DHS is still the moderate solution the actual leftist position is the abolition of borders
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
The median position needs to be "abolish ICE," the vanguard left should be more "burn down the DHS, salt the earth, restore protections & path to full citizenship for EVERYONE who suffered from these pricks' depradations (& is still, you know, around & WANT to be here).
Every Dem candidate ought to be saying abolish ICE.

Sports are sex segregated so that totally average men can walk around thinking they could probably beat Serena Williams, Megan Rapinoe or A'ja Wilson at their sports if they really had to, just cause they're men, in much the same way those same men think they would probably do alright vs a bear.
Say it with me y'all sex segregation in sports is to protect mens feelings
(From 2019): A breakaway female cyclist was forced to stop during a prestigious race in Belgium after she started to catch up with the men’s competition, which had started 10 minutes earlier.
