It's better if the Democratic Party in DC does NOTHING rather than to give ICE more money for body cams and training. NOTHING is better than that plan. I mean it.

DO NOTHING.

This regime is inflicting physical terror on thousands of Americans daily.

They're also inflicting mental terror on millions of us, and that burden is also heavy.

Take care of your heart and one another, friends. As June Jordan reminds us, We are the ones we've been waiting for.

i don't really give a shit if consultants think being anti-ICE is "good messaging" or whatever when people are actively being shot, beat, gassed and jailed.

I've read most of the scholarship about US policing since the early 20th century. What you learn from this is that violence is inherent. You cannot "separate" out violence from policing. Police in the U.S. are violence workers.

What Duran Duran did, what the Timberwolves did, what Steve Kerr and Doc Rivers said, what the actors who wore pins did, etc etc etc all are signals/signs to the rest of us of what time it is on the clock of fascism.

The fascists are on a war footing domestically and internationally. I really hope that USians begin to understand what this means soon.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

“What do we call it when a stronger person decides to rob a weaker person because he can? It is just gangsterism. We are the most dangerous gangsters in the world today. Not in the sense of being charming rogues or alluring antiheroes. We are the bad guys.”

A side story is there’s a ton of insider trading on these prediction markets. New accounts making hundreds of thousands on their first and only trade, that maduro would be ousted. Seems like insider trading is legal if not encouraged on these platforms

Once again, one of the primary reasons we have arrived at this point (completely out-of-control & unconstitutional abuse of executive power to conduct wildly illegal foreign policy) is that no one, including the most senior people involved, went to jail for the rest of their lives for Iran-Contra.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.
