Yeah I don't know how to fully express that I feel like my soul is basically damaged by the way I feel about the regime & its agents at this point.

I don't know that I've ever really felt this level of visceral moral CONTEMPT for other humans. It veers into cold hate at times in ways I worry about.
y'know, i never hated a person until i was in my late 40's. ask anyone who knows me, i'm a squish. it still doesn't come naturally to me, but holy hell i *hate* every single person involved in making this DHS/ICE reign of terror possible.
It's a campaign of terror.

Her terror (and the terror of entire communities, forced into hiding) is not incidental.

It is a product they are manufacturing, a key part of the spectacle for their intended audience.

Which is the terrorized, but also the terror consumers.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Hey @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.org when you are "Deciding to Win," remember that throwing us under the bus will not win you the election. It will just make the next one harder. We will not be the cost of doing business.

ALL for-profit prison and institution companies are committing crimes against humanity.

Listen to prisoners and their families about this. We may be a long way from solving inequities and injustices that make institutions necessary, but anyone charging caged people for flatware visits The Hague.

Reminder that the federal government was once the largest employer of Black women in the country.

DOGE fired so many Black women that it massively spiked their unemployment rate.

The government shutdown was already here, just not equally distributed.

Looking at you @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @democrats.org.

I've been voting D for 28 years, and look where it got us. You keep appealing to far-right US "moderates" when Christofascists already threaten your lives.

Well, we will not be the cost of doing business. Link arms or risk your coalition.
What we want:

• access to affordable healthcare for everyone
• safe food, clean water, and reliable shelter for everyone
• bodily autonomy for all
• the right to work and unionize

What they want:

• the bodies of trans, BIPOC, and disabled folks in mass graves

Don't tolerate devil's bargains

Pritzker: "For Donald Trump and the MAGAs in Congress, this is not about fighting crime or public safety ... this is about consolidating power in Donald Trump's hands. What he plans to do with that power now or during the 2026 elections should worry all of us."

For @truthout.org yesterday I wrote about how the government's lies about tylenol and autism reminds me a lot of the government's lies about trans people.

Anti-Trans Policy Deserves Same Scrutiny as Trump’s Tylenol Disinformation
As a trans journalist, I see corporate media outlets as inconsistent in their treatment of right-wing disinformation.

One positive thing that's happening is that the "let's meet in the middle" people are looking more and more unhinged in the eyes of regular people. My FedBook page which includes a lot of normies is on fire regularly. Folks are done.

Where are the @democrats.org standing up to the idea that the US is pro-fascism? Where are the leftist leaders organizing against the slander of trans people?

ICE put some of them in straightjackets for 16 hours. They had credible fear determinations but our govt doesn't care and now they're going to be shipped back to their home country where they will be further tortured and murdered. And apparently no one has jurisdiction??

While we're at it can we talk about high #femmes with executive dysfunction?

⚠️PSA⚠️ There's a widely circulating photo of a pink-haired kneeling trans girl labeled as the Chrl Krk shooter. She is not the accused or a public persona, making this potentially LIBEL. The og repost of her photo is 4chan 🗑️.

Please copy & paste this widely to stop the spread of stochastic terror.
