How do Democrats frame their arguments? For this piece, we interviewed a man who covered up a murder.

the entire administration right now is like, "that man aggressively attacked a canister of pepper spray until he was in a fetal position, the most dangerous position from which to be confronted with a firearm we'd already taken from him - this is basically what al-qaeda did on 9/11"

Maybe instead of buying Minnesota-themed anti-fash gear from well-intentioned out of state sellers (hello The Onion and those guys with that Hamms design) consider looking up some Minnesota artists and retailers, and buying from them directly instead? For instance!

If you weren't tracking it, it's hard to explain how hyperventilated the NRA's rhetoric about looming government jackboots was while Barack Obama was president. It was their/LaPierre's central sales pitch.

I’ve been saying this for a while now. Most Black folks who lived under the Jim Crow regime didn’t see the end of it. Yet people kept on keeping on.

Friend and comrade, I hate to tell you my own family history, let alone that of millions... for my people, it was 99 long years from the Emancipation Proclamation to the Civil Rights Act. Entire generations lived and died. (I pray that the fire this time is kinder. I do pray.)

I would like Democrats to understand that doing literally anything is not the escalation they think it is. Doing something is DE-ESCALATION. Doing nothing is ESCALATION because it will cause people to take matters into their own hands.

Something lost on JD Vance—and much of the news media—is that no legal or other reason existed to arrest the 5-year-old child’s father either. Not even the administration has articulated any reason to cage people while their asylum or other cases are proceeding.

Here's the thing about the second amendment: Whether it's an excuse for you to have a thousand guns or an excuse to shoot someone simply for HAVING a gun even if there's no immediate danger is entirely up to how cops feel.

there is some level of gleeful participation in state-sponsored brutality at which i think people forfeit their humanity. this isn't banality of evil stuff, people "just doing their jobs." they enjoy it. they only understand and respect physical violence and terror

Guys nothing personal but if you rub your a.i. generated anti-ICE, anti-Trump memes in my face I gotta unfollow and mute you and also you’re dead to me. It’s the sewage that fascism both shits and eats, it’s like blowing smoke in my face to show me how evil the tobacco companies are.

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to “the opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

"If Walz fights this, Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act/send in the Marines!" And then they'll start shooting people. You know, like what's happening now. If you can't fight back against fascists because fascism will happen, the battle is already over and you lost.

This is pure violent escalation from ICE from step 1: They attack three observers who're directing traffic--in effect, making ICE's job *easier.* Each step victim tries to de-escalate, each step they immediately escalate. They murder him for *not* fighting. They murder him because they can.

Your call whether to watch. What I saw: Victim directs traffic. ICE rushes him & two women, violently knocking a woman down. Victim tries to shield her, *hands in air,* gets blasted with spray. As he tries to help her up, ICE pulls him off. One agent *holsters* a weapon right before another shoots.

No one needs a strong border anywhere and any anxiety about immigrants - any concession to being anxious about immigration - is a victory for the most evil motherfuckers on the planet. The whole thing is wholly and entirely needless. It's a real tragedy.

This is, without qualification, the logic behind Judge Dredd. When you declare that an officer is 'judge and jury' combined, it stands to reason that 'executioner' follows.

I didn’t catch the He-Man pronouns gag the first time through because I’m such a Masters of the Universe nerd that I was distracted by the fact that they gave Adam his mother’s last name from the original cartoon series where we learned that she was actually an astronaut from Earth.
