For folks still struggling with the math:

There are ~345 million US citizens.

There are ~245 million white US citizens.

This is what they mean by "Peaceful ethnic cleansing." Their plan ends with deporting all non-white people.

Not "undocumented criminals."

Not even "all undocumented people."
This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

We’ve already got sitting Democratic Senators using misogynistic and transphobic language about their own supporters. Do we think this is happening in a vacuum or are we seeing the influence of conservatives in the party?

Like the idea greeting MTG is a no risk, no cost move simply isn’t true for trans people who are currently being targeted by her and experiencing a push with the Democratic party in the name of pragmatism.

I genuinely think people are underestimating how much influence never Trump conservatives have in the Democratic coalition right now and how their influence is acutely felt by the people they’ve targeted throughout their political careers.

Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience.

Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense.

They admitted it.

The "nobodies" doing "nothing" are the ELITES and most of the politicians representing you. PEOPLE in their communities are in motion, everywhere. You just have to pay attention and importantly you have to JOIN THEM.

People not in the US routinely downplay the degree to which law enforcement in this country is willing to kill us.

In grad school I referenced this analysis that found that cops in the US kill more people than "criminals" do in other countries. And that's routine.

A leaked DoJ memo calls for prosecutors to charge people who film ICE with “domestic terrorism”

They don’t want their atrocities documented.

They don’t want a historical record.

They don’t want the world to know.

That’s why we have to keep filming. Keep speaking out.
Justice Department says filming immigration raids is 'domestic terrorism'

We should ask why it’s so easy for terms and concepts like “Heritage American” and “Western Chauvinism” are met with earnest analysis and exploration while academic theory produced by Black scholars are summarily dismissed by people reading introductory texts if that.

I think that some of you are mostly venting. And I get it. But venting is not organizing. And I'm sorry but I don't think people know how to get 10s of millions of people to do anything besides voting in this country.

Don't listen to the doomers, y'all. These motherfuckers had their grim reaper hands wrapped around every lever of power imaginable in January and we threw *so much sand* in the gears that they are about to drive off a fucking cliff.

If you weren't throwing sand, that is a you problem.

Kennedy is now upset that tortillas have added folate, calling this a war on poor families.

(1) Added folate has been present in starch products for ages
(2) It's a water-soluble B vitamin
(3) It's the low-cost form of the thing he was swearing treats autism (leucovorin is folinic acid).

We can live without billionaires but billionaires cannot live without us, in the same way that a body can live without cancer, but cancer cannot live without a body.

Despite threats, billionaires don't leave the largest population centers, because it's where there is the most money to be had from the collective value generated by human beings, and despite what they insist, they don't generate wealth; they collect it.

I think it’s important people pick up on the recurring theme that the *existence* of anything which isn’t about them is interpreted as a personal attack on them. Kwanzaa can’t be about Black people it must be about hating white people.
These "War On Christmas" types literally find problems instead of enjoying time with their loved ones.

more confirmation that lurking clearly behind this idea of the “heritage american” is a straightforward contempt for the actual history and tradition of this country, such that vermeule has to hallucinate a framework to justify his desire to jettison the clear meaning of the 14th amendment
I had missed this latest delirium by Adrian Vermeule on birthright citizenship

'Common law?! NAH, it's the Roman law of adoption that should govern the interpretation of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution!'
