Everyone deserves shelter, food, water & healthcare.
Even the people you don’t like.
Even the people you feel made “bad lifestyle choices”
Even the people who you don’t think “contribute enough”
Every person should have their basic needs met
This shouldn’t be controversial.

"abolish ICE" is like "abolish serial killers"
the presence of even one ICE officer is a threat to every single member of a given community, they need to be treated like roving bands of Night Stalkers

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.

The notion that Donald Trump (or MAGA) is anti-war is one of the most catastrophic misreads in the history of mankind.
MAGA's approach to every political issue is maximizing belligerence to secure their objectives, and there were people who seriously believed this somehow wouldn't apply to war.

Prominent MAGA figures are making it 100% explicit that MAGA is a neo-imperialist movement that's all about pillage and plunder justified by assumed racial superiority:

I do think more people should appreciate that Sarah has to be selective about when she draws attention to her identity given the obsessive focus on it by some of her colleagues--she is in a uniquely impossible position. But it also makes it more impactful when she does.

Officials in Tennessee aren't just banning books, they're now demanding information on who checked out contested (largely LGBTQ+) books, including names, addresses, and "household composition."
A librarian who was given the directive has come forward asking for whistleblower protections.
