you have politics my mother wouldn't object to. you dress them up in radical drag so they will. you are going door to door trying to spook people with the word "abolition. "what you mean by "abolition" is reform. you don't care about prisons or anyone in them. you care about saying shocking things.

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

I received notification of yet another death at an ICE facility, meaning 38 people have died in custody since Trump returned to office. ICE is failing to ensure the health and safety of the people it is responsible for. We need immediate oversight of this entire operation.

"What do I think of the Board of Peace? I think it is a colonialist operation: others deciding for the Palestinians,” said Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa: www.ncronline.org/news/us-led-...

One of the priests who went into the Beoadview facility, Fr. Paul Keller (speaking here), said he felt "a society with dirty hands actually asking for the forgiveness of those who are being detained, as opposed to encouraging them to repent of their sins."

Quick reminder that 3 °C of warming would set Europe up for heat domes that kill 30,000 people in a single week. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

Everyone involved in this shit belongs in a cell.

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Crimes against humanity.

"When Lewandowski was told Noem's personal items had been left behind, including a heated blanket, he yelled at Coast Guard staff The pilot came out of cockpit to see what was happening & Lewandowski insisted plane return to collect Noem's items When he refused, Lewandowski announced he was fired"

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

"once you treat him with respect he thinks you're a dope and immediately loses respect for you" when the literal worst person on earth makes a correct observation

"peter thiel is funding clavicular, a meth addict who hits his face with a hammer on livestreams" You bolt awake in the mountains of Carthage. You are not online. It is 217 BC. You are the general Hannibal, and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. Rome must burn

Everywhere this man goes he should be treated as if he murdered millions of children, because he did.

Elimination of emissions standards was one of the pretty clear policy stakes of the 2024 election and it received about 1% as much coverage as whether Tim Walz retiring from the national guard after 21 years was cowardly.

The historical term for this is "looting." The Project 2025 architect who promised to put federal employees “in trauma” is spending $15 million of former USAID funding—money that would have gone toward fighting HIV, polio, malaria, and other diseases—to bankroll his security detail. trib.al/TSV3cmb

Along these lines: if you live in Minneapolis, the Hennepin County Attorney we elect this fall is going to be the lawyer in charge of prosecuting ICE agents for the murders and atrocities they committed against us. That's why I'm supporting Cedrick Frazier.

absolutely brutal finding, especially when compared w the US. www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

Sometime since Nov, a convoy carrying 1,000 tonnes of uranium rolled out of Niger’s remote northern marches, starting a journey to an ultimate destination that remains dangerously unclear. To the military junta that runs Niger, moving the uranium from the mines of Arlit marked a decisive

How cool is it that that a woman who went to medical school in Minnesota and learned to cross country ski here is the first Mexican female to compete in the sport in Olympics. And Jessie Diggins met her at the finish line. The video is heart-melting.

“Children are property of their parents” is a view that southern conservative Christians continue to hold and no joke it is a residuum of the slave power

"the elite of the antebellum South were degenerate gamblers who financed their lifestyles with industrialized rape and would kill you for pointing this out" is a straightforwardly accurate statement

Happy valentine's day ❤️

"By God, I'll fight til Hell freezes over then I'll cut the ice and fight on!"

straight out of those Civil War histories where some ill informed white Union soldier got a view of slavery up close and became hyper abolitionist in an instant

Exclusive: Labour politicians raised concerns about Keir Starmer’s plans to give Matthew Doyle a peerage in the weeks before it was confirmed, citing intimidating behaviour, particularly towards women. observer.co.uk/news/politic...

Trump's wacko-extremist Acting CFPB Director Vought had this worker fired for trying to protect private information. He also loves to starve the CFPB of funds. One way to hold him back is to click the link and demand Congress restore the agency's funding. bit.ly/lovecfpb #CFPBMyValentine #stopvought

Utterly unacceptable in a democracy. In a sane world, House Republicans would be drafting impeachment articles today and Senate Republicans would be preparing for a trial to convict and remove him from office

Too much testosterone, not enough tigers to run away from, the story of war.

People don’t really understand the nature of the problem. It’s not lots of little random ankle-biter tweets. That’s annoying but whatever. It’s when hating you becomes this communal pursuit that exists separately from yourself. Like there’s an entire group of people working together to target you.

May this one day happen to them.

My Trump-supporting cousin-in-law just texted my husband to say he encountered this Mother Jones on social media, read it, realized I wrote it, and told him to tell me I’m doing good work and to keep going. Things are changing, y’all. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

Child detained by ICE: Since I got to the center, all you will feel is sadness and depression. All kids are being damaged mentally. They don't have schools or doctors. Serious situations happen, and there are no consequences.

Lincolnist-FDRism with AOC characteristics.

I interviewed a family of Russian asylum seekers who’ve been held more than four months at the Dilley detention center in Texas. As we spoke over Zoom this week, their daughter Kamilla was one day shy of turning 12. I asked her what she wanted for her birthday. She replied: “To get out of here.”

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.

tribunals are, realistically, the moderate option

“DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law” is excellent framing

it's amazing that people are willing to trust their money with Musk, a man who fails at everything and is also a Nazi.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
