"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants" No you don't. If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

Gavin Newsom routinely invites white supremacists to hang out on his podcast. There's a photo of him smiling as he steals from a homeless person. He is openly anti-trans. This is the public stuff, before anyone does any opposition research.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

"The four stars of the Chicago flag are tattooed on Martinez’s right arm. 'I was raised and born in Chicago,' she said, 'and I love my city.'"

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Fuck Jack Horner, fuck Neil Gaiman, fuck Nobuhiro Watsuki. So many men I admired in childhood are scum, and I'm happy to burn them all down in my memories.

Chris Rufo is so upset about the Minneapolis protests that he is resorting to anti-Nordic racism christopherrufo.com/p/the-curse-...

"For years, a certain kind of liberal has either minimized such culture war rhetoric...in favor of “material” and “kitchen table” issues—as though the state regarding one’s life as “garbage” has no tangible consequence, as if the terms of a fight can be determined by the person getting punched."

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.” The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

jack daniels can be classified as either bourbon or whiskey, since bourbon and whiskey are simply different names for identical products

Republicans are making it illegal to live openly as a trans person, and sending people to internment camps for having brown skin, but Pete thinks Democrats need to stop talking about "identity".

Happy partially muscled skeleton screaming before vanishing day to all those who celebrate.

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

durbin should get primaried even after he retires. if he's trying to sit down at a restaurant somebody should take his seat

While there is uncertainty about the deployment of the National Guard in Chicago at the moment, there already is U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity targeted at the unhoused community. Here’s what you should know about your rights when encountering ICE agents if you’re unhoused.

Pay for local journalism that’s not afraid to report unpopular truths.

As promised, if you’re inspired by the march today but don’t know how else to get involved, how to sustainably fight fascism, that can look a few different ways. Here’s a thread of thoughts, short of nationwide withholding of labor / sustained protest:

ICE is thanking the Illinois State Police, under @govpritzker.illinois.gov's authority, for helping them kidnap Illinoisans.

I am telling you this is the best city in the U.S. and it’s not even close

CHOTINER: So your son is 14, is that right? IKARI: It's complex, Isaac. If— CHOTINER: And the “robot” he pilots, that’s actually the child of an alien you keep crucified in the basement, which is possessed by the spirit of his dead mother? IKARI: Look, let me answer the question. CHOTINER: Sure.

We’re gonna need a bigger reconstruction.

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot. one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

“I’m sick of these purity tests. NO CANDIDATE is perfect. Newsom may not care about homeless people or trans people but he’s the ONLY ONE hiring social media posters to ask ChatGPT to talk like Trump”

My read on Hakeem Jeffries’ latest ‘remarks’ about Zohran Mamdani is that Jeffries helpfully confirms that, whether done within the Democratic Party apparatus or without, the objective cannot be to convince these people or win them over, but rather to defeat and marginalise them permanently.

What with the specter of the military terrorizing Chicago being an actual possibility, hearing fighter jets boom overhead is no longer merely a nuisance. It's trauma. Time to end the Air & Water Show, or limit it to the actually charming and entertaining stunt pilots, wing-walkers, and such.

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

New piece. A long deep dive piece into the reasons beyond the punditry and headlines as to why Harris and Democrats as a whole failed in 2024. I firmly believe this is about far more existential, psychological, and structural reasons than it has been depicted as. Here’s why.

I'm often asked what Democratic politicians can do to learn from pro wrestling and combat Republican neokayfabe The simplest answer to that question is just, "Practice doing Dusty Rhodes's 1985 'Hard Times' promo in front of the mirror every morning until you really MEAN it" 🗣️ #wrestlesky #polisky

"We have to pull back on palestine support" "we have to pull back on trans rights" "Dems should be more centrist" EAT HOT ASPHALT YOU FUCKING LOSERS!!!

i need to start a social media empire catering to young men except instead of encouraging them to become insane loners who hate women it teaches them things like how to take care of their skin, make a nice vodka penne, do their laundry properly, etc

anyway here's the email I sent to jim bankoff last week. i'm still heartbroken. I have been insanely, destructively angry for weeks, and I think I will be for a long time.

Update: Yesterday after court, I called @duckworth.senate.gov's office. A staffer told me that whilst the Senator "personally supports trans rights," she feels that "bipartisan requires" that she meet with these transphobes in order to "start a dialogue towards a compromise."

@duckworth.senate.gov why are you meeting with a hate group?
