This is pure, unabashed bigotry. If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party. But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence. A stain on our Congress.

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

people are dying in ICE custody because their concentration camps are like concentration camps always are

Donald Trump sent our tax money to pedophiles

The tsar's advisers whisper evil into his ear. All would be well, if only the tsar knew.

They’re going to try to use the plague that haunted my childhood to kill us off in job lots again. I guess medical neglect is cheaper than a bullet.

“…nobody sane now thinks the answer to abuses at Dachau was to give the guards more training”

Who you gonna believe, me or your lyin' eyes?

You know, I do kinda wonder if instead of “look at the dumb voters who believed they were exempt from fascism” stories these should instead be run as “politicians breaking campaign promises” stories. Just a thought.

Republicans have made a documented effort to mislead these communities with well funded, highly localized Spanish language propaganda campaigns in recent years, which, as is usually the case when mainstream reporters try to tease out a segment of the electorate's thinking, simply isn't mentioned

The debate "rehabilitating" Hanania in particular is profoundly stupid because he has changed none of his views, suffered no consequences, contributes no benefits or assets, theoretical or practical, to the anti-Trump coalition, and is very open about being having total contempt for his allies.

The lesson from the welfare-fraud scandal in Minnesota is that if Democratic state and Federal governments invest time and effort into fighting corruption and fraud they will receive zero credit for it, but the right-wing media-grievance industrial-complex will still use it to justify pogroms.

Be smart: insiders say the president is only attempting to start WW3 with our closest allies to distract from bad optics brought on by the sacking of Minneapolis, which is a distraction from him breaking the law by refusing to disclose the extent of his involvement in the pedophile ring, which is a

genuinely makes me vibrate with anger when i think about what this government is doing

Ultimately if this were acknowledged by the press, by Democrats by other stakeholders it would require them to stop robotically acting like it's 1988. So Democrats do deflections to cost of living, conservatives rationalize it and the press sanewashes his utter derangement.

If the moderates can get behind scrapping ICE and CBP and reconstituting something called "Immigration and Border Enforcement" that is militarized like the Coast Guard and with no independent interior arrest authority, that sounds great.

Like… if you are a Republican Senator what do you do with this? Like he’s obviously insane but you’re also tied to the mast of this ship.

I know it doesn’t mean anything, but I do wonder what Republican senators think right now. Like. The mad king is mad.

Traditionally, politics have been constrained by external factors outside anybody's control that leaders had to respect and take into account, but nobody in America believes that those exist now. It's a problem.

Again reiterating "a war is averted after stealth fighters and commandos get deployed to show the other guys aren't fucking around" is an entirely different outcome than "a war is averted because the system and/or reasonable diplomacy worked."

My Greenland prediction: 1.) The U.S. won't attack. 2.) It won't attack because it was stopped. 3.) It being stopped will be used to tar people urgent about it being stopped as hysterics

Two of the charges at Nuremberg were "participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of a crime against peace" and "planning, initiating and waging wars of aggression and other crimes against peace."

The US is best conceived as a revolutionary state for multiracial liberal democracy beset constantly by a powerful anti-revolutionary movement seeking to overthrow it from within. Will gets this and sits solidly on the side of the revolution.

The more I think about this, the angrier I get. It takes a particularly virulent strain of sociopathy to sit and let hard-working people serve you a meal knowing that you plan to arrest them and send them off for deportation once they're off of work. Really depraved shit.

Now the actual military has to dress like it’s not the military cuz federal law enforcement agencies dress too much like the military

This is madness. Absolute madness. It's Norm and The Parents vs the Federal Government

When the surge ends, Minneapolis organizers are gonna need to come to every other city and help transfer the skills learned here to help others set up similar networks.

They expect - they NEED - the people they threaten to fall in line, like the law firms and universities and media companies and billionaires and Congress did. If you say “No, make me,” they simply do not have a Plan B. TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO MAKE YOU.

I’m physically following them around using my government name telling them to arrest me and they haven’t bothered to arrest me. Also half the US Attorney’s office here in MN just resigned! They do not have a case and they do not have manpower, but their only tool is trying to be menacing.

Yeah people don’t understand how insane the surge here is. The insane videos you see are examples of stuff happening dozens or hundreds of times daily. (Although, again, there are signs they are departing for outstate after being roundly rejected by the community).

Re: Calling other Democrats “cucks”

Show trials are an opportunity. Use them.

Well this was inevitable.

This is the thing I keep thinking about. But I also felt this way about trans people in 2015, and… well… yeah.

this is very much not the core of the issue. we tolerate all sorts of biological advantages and disadvantages in sports. the real fundamental question here is: why is this one different than the others?

I genuinely think this excuse is more pathetic than the original story.

I will vote for literally any democrat in the general, but God, don’t make me vote for Gavin, please.

Holy shit, I did not quite realize how thoroughly the Conservatives and BQ had just become the “surrender to Trump” parties.

Some good news in these trying times. Also TORTOISE BEBES

The key is to force an actual debate on the question of a permanent militarized Federal internal security state, something that nobody actually voted for and very few people want, and not just let them smuggle the premise in via the terms of debate.

This is an explicit admission that all their threats of arrest and prosecution are not actually going to happen.

People in Minneapolis don't like it when secret police come into their city to kill and brutalize them, people in rural areas think it's great. Somehow, this is a problem that Minneapolis is supposed to make amends for.

Posts from Minneapolis residents read like they'll be read in voiceover in a Ken Burns-like doc one day

One of the most fundamental problems for dealing w/ ICE is the GOP provided years of ICE agent funding in the “Big Beautiful Bill.” No govt shutdown will end that funding stream, and there aren’t 2/3s votes in each chamber to rescind the funding & override a veto. Means resistance is what we have.

Unless there is radical reform and soon, we're heading for a new national parallel to most major cities with the Federal government, where DHS (like major police departments) simply operates as it wishes, flagrantly disobeys administrations it doesn't support, and actively intervenes in politics.

The Supreme Court only cleared the way for Kavanaugh Stops four months ago and ICE now openly engages in violent racial profiling, snatching anyone who looks non-white and treating them as presumptively guilty of a crime. Remarkable how quickly our liberties can be crushed when courts go along.

Incidentally, KBJ just sniped at Kavanaugh over his Kavanaugh Stops opinion in a footnote today joined by Sotomayor. She isn't letting this one go. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

looks like donald trump used the military to do a smash and grab for his personal benefit
