Does anyone else feel completely insane right now

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

NEW — TRIIBE Editor Tiffany Walden spoke with writer and activist Charlene A. Carruthers about why this current moment of rising resistance in America feels racially divided. We also talk about those who co-opt Black liberation language. Sign up to read. thetriibe.com/reshape/the-...

No one, including me, knows what Democrats would do if they won the House and/or Senate. Additionally, everyone who is currently alive now sees that they aren't doing anything now. Unsurprising that people hate them. I'm surprised that they are 2 points ahead the fascists in the generic ballot poll.

you aren't fighting a battle my man, you're entertaining freaks. insane how many libs still have this West Wing fantasy of changing people's minds if they just post good enough. they're either morons or addicts trying to rationalize their addiction to cheap dopamine

They have built a secret police to take us to the camps, kidnapping and killing us in broad daylight and you’re talking about GIVING THE SECRET POLICE MORE FUNDING????? What the fuck is wrong with you people???????

I can’t go to the grocery store alone right now because ICE is racially profiling and abducting people who aren’t white

i think it is simply true that for all intents and purposes stephen miller is the president of the united states

American cops killed 1096 people last year, the total for every nation in europe combined was 47.

I would be hard-pressed to name a more feckless, embarrassing political body in history than the Senate Democratic caucus. Just utterly useless in this moment.

this makes me so sad because I saw Dylan's video announcing she was going to be playing Anne Boleyn and it was so sweet and wholesome and also what an epic song for her to get to sing. fuck these losers.

It remains wild that one of the things that scared the Founders the MOST was a powerful centralized federal govt trampling over people and now the only armed agents of the state we can’t sue for trampling all over us are the federal ones.

I think maybe a lot of bad things could be avoided if the worlds most obvious crooks faced some sort of punishment other than “accumulating great sums of money and power”

The "right to defend itself." Occupying neighborhoods. Blocking ambulances from victims. Building pretext to hurt kids. Taking billions from US taxpayers to do it all. Is this the Israeli military? Or ICE? Yes. @premthakker.bsky.social breaks down the jarring parallels: zeteo.com/p/why-does-i...

taking trump seriously rn would be too damaging to a US in decline so the whole system is squirming to not look at him directly. press translating what he says to sound more sane, democrats just talking about eggs. he's too big to fail

My latest premium newsletter is about the increasing public appetite for getting rid of ICE, and what the centrists who tell you it's not feasible are getting wrong.

per the story, the “Abolish ICE is bad” dude is also a “former Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection official”

a lot of american politics fails because politicians want to pretend their job isn't political, its fucking bizarre and inane

Democratic consultants looking at the UK's Labour Party: "Yeah, let's do what they're doing!" www.gelliottmorris.com/p/the-cost-o...

ICE is seriously going to be Gaza all over again for Democrats isn’t it. They’re going to try it again, insisting if they just don’t talk about it then it’s not actually an issue that matters to millions of voters.

⁉️

COME ON. Almost a majority of Americans WANT TO ABOLISH A POLICE AGENCY. Given how insanely obsequious our entire culture is to law enforcement these days, that is a WILD NUMBER. It earns at least one bucket. It really does.

Quite a quote from Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair, who was asked about his STOP THE GENOCIDE eye black after today’s game www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

ahh a nice night out at the movies. now time to check my phone and see what our mad pedophile king and his evil scheming viziers are up to

SKATE TO WHERE THE PUCK IS GOING! ABOLISH ICE! Stop trying to skate to where the puck was LAST election cycle. Grow a spine and inform the voters that Democrats will un-mask, prosecute, and abolish ICE! @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.org @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov

Really recommend reading Tal Lavin's (@swordsjew.bsky.social) Wild Faith: How the Christian Right Is Taking Over America to understand the long game of White Christian Nationalists in the US & how it is playing out in this moment. The mainstream media has not & will not cover this honestly.

lmao, neighborhood Signal chat full of people who would otherwise be considered “wine moms” has turned against the New York Times for their coverage of what’s happening

americans, please: do not take the bait by resisting ICE yourselves. just give the democrats $20. they will give it to ICE so they can train more guys

i’m a little confused about how “abolish ICE” requires too much explaining to be good politics, but a set of opaque incremental reforms does not.

How embarrassing to work for the organized kidnapping ring known as "ICE." Rolling out of bed every day to be a brainless goon. You are lower than a worm to me

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.

Incredibly emotional to hear my poem has been turned into a song of resistance and is being sung in Minneapolis right now. Please do not give up.

all due respect to Anthony but I do dislike Ilan. his sloppy, shitty scholarship has all been towards the ends of denaturalizing american citizens, creating a permanent underclass, and supporting fascism. he's scum of the earth and some unkind words are the least of what he deserves

Black folks and immigrants have long lived in a "perogative state" when it comes to law enforcement, and maybe pundits at the largest national outlets should recognize that their past support for punitive policing and immigration enforcement laid the groundwork for the current moment.

Update: The admin is moving to quickly deport witnesses who saw ICE detainee die. They say the man was just trying to get his meds. ICE guards shackled him Then they choked him. The admin moved to deport the witnesses — right after they spoke to WaPo. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

I went on Substack to suggest to Simon Rosenberg that there might be some valid reasons for Minneapolis activists to be suspicious of Dem party fundraising. Ooof.

"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!!!!

It's better if the Democratic Party in DC does NOTHING rather than to give ICE more money for body cams and training. NOTHING is better than that plan. I mean it. DO NOTHING.

Three years today. The cops are already killing protesters—it's not a line we haven't crossed, it's a thing already happening—but lots of people never heard about or paid attention to this one. So it goes

Hi-viz over camo to distinguish between state violence forces feels like the ultimate expression of context collapse, of the separation of use/practice from signification/meaning, of the nullification of symbolic efficacy and total absence/impossibility of shared or intuitive interpretation
