1. If you cause the Nordics to seriously consider building a nuclear weapons program you have seriously fucked up 2. If they do it, it will have the most metal name imaginable

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

Prior to Trump, I always thought someone could do a cutting satire of US politics with a show about a president who loses his mind while in office, and the lengths to which his party will go to justify and defend his increasingly insane pronouncements. We’re living in that show.

I know in my heart that the Siege of Minneapolis will go down as one of the biggest political blunders/grossest abuses of federal power in American history. Just a matter how long that consensus takes. Next week? Next year? Next decade?

The segment included multiple people, including Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew, expressing some concern about Chinese EVs collecting data on Canadians for some vaguely malevolent purpose. Such concerns are never voiced about Tesla, a company run by a racist man who does Nazi salutes in public.

Denmark is a model ally to the US. They fought in every war Washington asked for. They granted the US unlimited military access to Greenland. Trump threatening them is a massive betrayal that tells every other ally: your loyalty means nothing

(Far too many of) the same urban white liberals that talk about good game about walkable communities will fight the slightest rezoning in their own neighborhoods as though their very lives were at stake, without ever making the connection. Looking at you, Duke Park.

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country

Again, I’m going to keep banging the lonely drum that the fact that we are threatening the territorial sovereignty of our closest allies is a gross violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations, poses a massive threat to national security & world order, & should immediately end this presidency.

If the US is stupid enough to attempt taking Greenland by force, the net result will be a vastly reduced ability to project US power. It will lose all EU bases. No one will benefit more than Russia. I don’t think Trump is a Russian agent but he is absolutely a Russian asset.

I think we need to understand the extent to which this use of "liberal white women" is a way of saying "race traitor." They aren't attacking these women for being white but for having a lack of loyalty to whiteness.

Thank you CNN for pointing out that everyone opposed to this regime has normal, pro-social links to the organizations that make up a liveable society where you can do normal shit. Next article you can talk about how the vice president, by contrast, is in nazi groupchats with minors

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

Whatever groups Good may or may not have been a part of have no bearing on what happened the day she was killed. Nor would her membership in any group justify her killing. This is not an investigation. It's authoritarian propaganda.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face. If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

lots of political space to convert those “not sures” into somewhat supports and those “somewhat supports” into strongly supports on eliminating ICE. also, with a funding battle coming up, plenty of political space to say “no government funding unless we claw back last year’s new ICE funding”
