The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.

Is it not the rich who oppress you?

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

I have blogged again.

Suburban wine moms will really be like "you believe in voting? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, firebombing a concentration camp" and then very effectively firebomb a concentration camp

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell

It should be illuminating that prosecuting sex trafficking, the thing that prosecutors and police across the country have been using as a cash cow to fund surveillance and weaponry, is actually not something government prosecutors care about at all. The system does not hold people accountable.

ICE’s pending $30 billion budget exceeds the military spending of nearly every country, including Canada, Brazil, Mexico, and Iran. ICE + CBP funding for 2026 would total $66 billion, higher than all but 7 militaries worldwide.

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

these people are evil. There is no other explanation or reason. They are fundamentally evil. You cannot negotiate with evil.

Making it make sense: Epstein wasn't a global mastermind. He did not orchestrate a vast conspiracy that led us to today. He was a very rich man with connections to other very rich men. The shared culture of these men is that they have a right to dominate and abuse others without consequence.

Sure, Tesla drivers are out there having phone sex with their cars, but I saw a bicyclist do an Idaho stop last week.

legislators should be staging sit-ins, they should not leave the fucking chambers until there are votes on impeachment. make your colleagues defend this piece of shit on the record. show history what you fucking did in this moment you god damned cowards

Congressional Dems want to "reform" ICE to look more like "regular" cops. The same "regular" cops that killed over 1300 people last year—a nearly 20% increase in killings since 2020. mappingpoliceviolence.org

When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?

Todd Blanche circulated a memo telling DHS goons to commit a prima facie 4th Amendment violation DHS thugs committed that violation, violently, multiple times. This by itself should be enough to have Democrats shutting down the government, not just blocking a single funding bill.

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

how the fuck you gonna reform a children’s concentration camp asshole

218 people voted to fund the child kidnapping ring and masked death squads.

One of the most unexpected media events of this moment has been entertainment (Teen Vogue, People) & trade (Wired) publications accurately reporting the news & cogently calling out fascist falsehoods, while our Serious News Sources (NYT, WP, WSJ) avoid truth or sane-washes it, and publishes pablum.

"Should we vote to give more money to the people shooting my constituents in the face?" is not a complicated political question. And yet, Democrats don't seem able to answer it.

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

Minneapolis schools are closing because non-white families can't go outside and Senate Dems are like "ok but you gotta buy some body cameras for ICE"

There is no reason every Democratic Party elected official can’t say what he just said. Nothing he said is politically outlandish. It’s common sense. Abolish ICE.

Fantastic. ❤️ Especially, "Remember you're not alone - Don't worry about doing everything. No one of us can fix all the problems of the world alone. Pace yourself and don't burn out! Just pick your lane--the one or two things you know and care about--and trust that others will pick theirs!"

I wrote a quick blog post in 2014 titled "police reforms you should always oppose." It went viral and became the basis of a chart created by Critical Resistance to evaluate abolitionist steps. Money for training and body cams were the first two on my list.

💯 The man who shot Renee Good was *a trainer* who was recording it. Anything short of clawing back all ICE money is sick. Adding in things that permanently increase their budget, like bodycams and training, is literally worse than doing nothing

no honor, no dignity. a lifetime of trying to atone for the wrong they’re doing will not be enough. The appropriate posture for them all this morning is on their knees in the Minnesota cold begging the God of the universe, Who is against them, for forgiveness

The "ICE is using military tactics suited for a warzone, not for American streets" rhetoric kinda misses the point that warzones are not naturally occuring. The US military creates war zones from residential neighborhoods and the tactics are not more justifiable just because it's overseas

Child abuse is a central plank in the conservative platform, because physical mastery of the weak is how they establish dominance, their only value. It's not just something a lot of conservatives do, it is part of being a conservative.

"we don't want people thinking Democrats are for open borders" I am! who gives a shit!!! my life has been immeasurably improved by the presence of immigrants in my community, regardless of their status, there is literally no downside there! why would I give a shit!!!!

Yes in thunder. My syllabus statement:

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

ICE is bad for youth sports. Brought to by the assholes that claim trans teens are somehow bad for youth sports.

The Virgin Democratic Party Establishment Candidate: "ICE isn't coordinating with local police. This is no way to bring down prices!" The Chad Episcopalian Bishop: "I have instructed my priests to prepare for martyrdom."

ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

ONCE AGAIN TAPPING THE "IT'S NOT NON-LETHAL" SIGN, PLEASE JOURNALISTS CALL A 40 MILLIMETER CANISTER A 40 MILLIMETER CANISTER

A U.S. president cannot be held accountable. Therefore, a U.S. president must never make a policy decision.

There are approximately 8.3 billion of y’all missing out on my blog.

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

Let's be clear (and I'm not being cute): this is DHS trying to get ahead of the inevitable moment when they shoot a baby.

430k of us vs. 2k of them, we're gonna win this Cedar & 31st I think

These fucking politicians need to STOP CONSTANTLY admonishing protestors to be "peaceful" while they are being brutalized regularly by the gatekeepers of the state. You should be up there telling ICE and Border Patrol to be fucking peaceful.

Anyone who has read Copaganda knows that we are in the crucial early moments of virality after an extra-judicial police murder. It's extremely important for ICE that the media plays along with the idea that what happened is contested and there are multiple perspectives.

"what are we going to do with 20,000 ICE agents if we abolish ice" well to start with I think we should all literally spit on them in public for the rest of their lives

While CBP and ICE are giving piss-poor training, more training really won't stop the problem. Greg Bovino is very well trained. The call to train better will just be pouring money into a violent organization that literally trains people to be violent.
