This is a hell of a speech (and a reality check). The post WWII global alignment is history. The US is no longer the friend of the world's democracies. It's time to move on. (Is it possible to apply for Canadian citizenship?) Worth a read.

I feel like we’re living in a dystopian novel so dystopian that even if Huxley, Orwell and Bradbury had collaborated on a book, the three of them together couldn’t have dreamt this shit up.

Writing Tip: Be consistent. If you just write 'when you feel like it' you might never get that writing piece off the ground. You don't have to be a drill sergeant about it, but try and create a regular routine when you have decided you're going to write. Start small.

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

For the first time in history, the state of Virginia has a female Governor and right after being sworn in today Governor Abigail Spanberger’s first official act was to end cooperation between ICE-Gestapo and Virginia State Police. More of this. 💙👊👏

Yep, if you *had* to make a comparison, all of US history from 1800 to 1960 would be pretty relevant. I’d highlight the years leading up to the Civil War, the late 1920s, or the Civil Rights era, but this is very much an American experience.

An administrative warrant is signed by ICE, not a judge. Without a signed judicial warrant, agents do not have the right to enter your home. You have the right to ask to see the warrant. You have the right to refuse entry without one.

I am, in fact, triggered by someone being murdered by the Gestapo and our government lying about it and celebrating the murder. It’s time for decent people to decide where they stand — with the Gestapo and its supporters, the juvenile shitposting government, or with America.
