Yo man that's TOUGH. Gives me the chills. This guy Holy shit. I wanna say I'd be this guy in the moment but he actually is and I don't know if I have these kinds of stones. But we're gonna need to find them considering who's in charge on our side.
This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line.
If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.

Bari Weiss’s CBS News Won’t Even Condemn Israel for Killing a CBS Contributor
Instead, the network’s new top anchor Tony Dokoupil peddles Israel’s talking points about it killing a Palestinian journalist. A CBS source calls it a ‘disgrace.’

Israeli forces just killed 3 more journalists.
They were on assignment to film a camp in Gaza, to document the plight of Palestinians displaced by Israeli bombs.

People are saying you have to accept repentance and changed minds, but what does that mean, for someone like this? Do we need to accept someone who says “I realized I’m against his anti-Somali policy and looking for someone who likes Somalis but hates all the other people I hate”?

Dr. King did amazing things, but often we only talk about his successes. Dr. King also had some "failures", and they are important to discuss because we often learn a great deal from failure. And failure can inform or grow a movement, like Albany, Georgia's failure did for Dr. King. /1

Fraud is a serious crime that merits laying siege to an entire city and collectively punishing every immigrant from Somalia.
It's also a crime for which you can be pardoned and relieved of compensating your victims, so long as some of the money you stole finds its way to the president.

i’m a little confused about how “abolish ICE” requires too much explaining to be good politics, but a set of opaque incremental reforms does not.

"You might say that this entire argument is stupid because of this point I'm clearly laying out, but it isn't" is just phenomenal writing
It is not "pedantic" to acknowledge that a college protest against Iran makes zero sense. Protests are typically against things, not in favor of rights movements in other countries!

I think Newsom briefly got an inordinate amount of credit for having some very clever folks running his social media accounts. His unassisted moral and political instincts remain terrible.
Ben Shapiro bullied him. Ben Shapiro.
we are still years out from the Democratic primary, and I think it is genuinely deranged that there’s people out there who believe there’s no other choice and thus we must rally around the flag of, all people, Gavin Fucking Newsom to save the republic

Mike Johnson: "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do"
Mike Johnson comes out against additional guardrails on ICE as Democrats call for it.
“I think there's a lot of Democrats playing games right now with national security and with law enforcement. And I think it's dangerous. Ice is doing what ice is designed to do by its very name.”

Claiming to worry about population decline while actively trying to expel as many non-white people as possible from the country is not a real worry about population decline; it's simply and plainly a way for conservatives to call for white supremacy using the sort of words NPR apparently falls for.
