"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology" No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.

The majority of Americans believe the president sexually abused children in a notorious sexual trafficking operation.

“Why can’t America do this” * proceeds to declare the best candidate someone who is having Steve Bannon on his podcast. Or Someone whose taking money from MAGA “ … long as they aren’t certain kinds of people …… But we wonder why the difference

Bolsonaro in prison, Yeon sentenced to prison, Andrew arrested on his birthday...and America still holding on to a 34 count felon as President.

'Fix your hearts or die' doesn't just mean protect trans folks. It also means that if you let white people continue to harm Black and brown folks, you are going to die with them. It means you are going to kill your community. It means start loving other people or fucking die.

Children have spent more time in prison than the child abusers named in the Epstein Files.

The lasting way to fight fascism—and the thing each of us can do—is to liberate your mind from the fascist framework. Stop being frightened of the things that fascists say are frightening. Start looking at those things as liberation. Fear the things fascists say make us safe. See them as prisons.

The more of these fascist atrocities I see, the more I become an immigration maximalist. Let everyone in, give everyone work permits/green cards. Make it possible to get citizenship within a few months. Make it as easy as getting a driver's license.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters. The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

Like, USAID still legally exists, still receives budget from Congress, and the few dozen remaining employees (who work at State) still have usaid.gov emails and all our systems and databases still exist. It's just the 10k of us who actually did the work are gone. Just do that to ICE and CBP.

I still think the best way to think of the ending of US AID is as the single worst genocide committed by any one US presidential administration. even given all the horrific things the US has done, it's not really that close. 750k dead already; expected 14 million.

I know this makes me an extremist but I think our baby concentration camps should be abolished.

Feels like you always hear a neighbor calling a serial killer a nice guy or that a despot loved dogs. One thing forcing us to accept that evil people can seem layered. So it’s wild that there’s not one positive trait to trump or musk. Not one person who attests to a single kindness. Evil to the core

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

Can’t believe we are still doing this

If those who claim the authority of law do not obey the law, and the law does not stop them, then they do not have the authority of law, because there is no longer any law.

We will never advance morally nor will Dems gain durable power electorally unless we actually MAKE THE ARGUMENT. And it's not hard: immigrants are great. Continuing to shit on or apologize for or insist only on mitigating evil against immigrants means we will never actually win.

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

I, the raspberry. I like the milk chocolate and cherry slightly less than the others, but I would eventually consume all but the raspberry.

"If the only way to identify concentration camps and name them, if the qualifying criteria must be that they have already lain at the heart of a genocide, what good are these conversations at all? Are we really honoring the memory of the dead by sacrificing the living?"

I have voted Democrat in every single election since 1994 unless there was a viable Green party candidate, and I fucking hate Newsom with my entire soul. Do not nominate this smarmy fucker.

The stealth transphobic rhetoric simultaneously argues; 1. That younger people must wait to know they are sure 2. That older people have waited too long to transition and be socially accepted. The end game is the elimination of trans people.

Republican fascists will tell you that the people in parkas and bathrobes are domestic terrorists who threaten our way of life and the armed paramilitary thugs who are terrorizing them with kidnapping and gassing and beatings and murder are legal officers who ensure our peace and safety.

Legal status doesn’t matter: if you exceed ICE’s melanin threshold, you get snatched. It is ethnic cleansing. There is no other word for it. The news has shown you video of these often violent detentions. What you don’t see is what happens to these individuals after. I’ve had a front row seat. 7/

Democrats keep saying there is nothing they can do. In the Senate, they can begin by refusing to allow unanimous consent to advance anything, for any reason. It does not stop everything, but it would render the Senate almost unworkable. They don’t, because it will make their jobs harder.

well i for one couldn’t be more excited for the possibilities of AI. finally a technology that answers the age old question ‘what if clippy was wormtongue’

If these MFers actually wanted to "protect kids", they would: Pass gun control Stop demonizing vaccines Fund education and healthcare Punish every single creep in the Epstein files Censoring the internet does nothing to actually help kids. It only makes them ignorant.

A friend of ours was able to be a test subject for an mRNA vaccine for an aggressive form of breast cancer. Completely worked. It is one of the greatest miracles of science and like 40% of the country turned it into The Jab because they are mushheaded simpletons.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

None of this is necessary. We don't need 100K people in ICE detention. We don't need 400K people in pretrial detention. It's all just fascism. Racism is fascism practiced on Black people first. If we had cared more when it was mostly anti-Black racism, We wouldn't be building ICE warehouses now.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

The choice to frame this rhetorically as a negotiation *with ICE and DHS* rather than, you know, a decision about their future made by their rightful superiors in the popularly elected legislature is, to me, incredibly grating.

No, Chuck, you’re making them the fifth highest paid military in the world. You ain’t reforming shit.

Don't look away from this horror our country is perpetuating.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

The fact that they’re running the full Kilmer Abrego Garcia playbook on a fucking five year old in a bunny hat…it was outrageous when they did it to Abrego Garcia. It’s monstrous here

The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose 29%. (Published May 2025)

If you won’t say this, you should not hold public office

This is the thing you say when you’re not a marginalized person who has experienced GENERATIONS of workplace harassment and bigotry and racism and begged every day of your life for your employers to just fucking tell people in your workplace to stop slapping your ass.

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are his net worth is $253.2 billion. so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire and then do it again tomorrow and again the day after that and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

i feel like we've had a good enough sample size for like two decades on whether or not body cameras on cops do anything whatsoever to stop them from killing people. the guy that murdered renee good was filming it on his phone for fun!

We have to understand that this is an ideology that will destroy anything and everything, including the ability for humans to continue to live on this planet, in defense of the vile myth of white supremacy they rely upon for fortune and identity. That’s what “Republicans are a death cult” means.

there are dozens of cameras on them all the time. we already know what they’re doing. this is not any sort of concession.

To all those who get offended by calls to abolish ICE: A lot of government agencies have come and gone over the years. ICE (as well as CBP) have only existed since 2003. Before ICE, the organization that did some of what ICE is SUPPOSED to do was the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

This is what letting RFK jr go wild on health looks like

To be clear, abolish ice is a compromise position at best. I also want the DHS dismantled. And am in favor of open borders. Anyone who talks about "coming into the country the right way" probably doesn't have common ground with me.
