- It feels worth saying that the thing that unifies men as disparate as Noam Chomsky, Deepak Chopra and Trump is patriarchy. Patriarchy, hatred of women, and the need to dominate them, persists across race and class status. Left movements refuse a robust analysis of persisting gender violence.
- We can have government of, by and for the people, with leaders who respect and protect us.
- This is another effort that has taken a HUGE amount of local activism, led by community folks who care. It CAN be done. Get involved where you live and push back. www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/i...

- In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires. I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

- In 1986, Star Trek 4 established that it existed in a world where money had been abolished, confirmed in Star Trek TNG and remaining in continuity through Voyager in 2001. The writers believed (correctly) that a future free from classism and colonialism could not exist in a capitalist society.

- Killing the CIA World Factbook might seem like small potatoes, but it was a touchstone of curated facts in a sea of disinformation.
- It also rigorously compared the size of countries to familiar units (sizes of US states), which is the proper way for Americans to relate to other countries.

- Remarkable: Trump's planned migrant prison camps are hitting deep resistance in red areas. In Virginia's partly rural Hanover (+26 Trump) opposition is intense. GOP leaders in other states are opposed. Voters are rejecting mass deportations big time. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2060...

View full threadThis passed unnoticed: New Pew poll finds 64% oppose mass detention of migrants while their cases are decided. That directly repudiates MAGA. Trumpism treats the release of migrants awaiting hearings as a mortal blow to the nation. The broader public does not. 3/ newrepublic.com/article/2060...
- Vast camps are central to Trumpism. Stephen Miller has long been very excited about them. Backlash is another sign that opposition to Trump/Miller runs deeper than revulsion at ICE. There's real resistance to the whole ideological project of mass deportations. 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2060...
- 🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US. Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records. Explore the map here: tinyurl.com/ICEWarehouse...
- We need more fucking hilarious ads like this and more actually genuinely funny people in Congress.

- You tell me.
- I know there are bigger issues involved, but did a mouse just run across the screen behind Kemi Badenoch on #Peston?
- NOOZE: "Rodent spotted fleeing Leader of Opposition's house - Live on Nashnul Television!!!" (Can you spot it?!?)
- If you can't stand up for a fellow journalist when she's being ridiculously bullied and demeaned for asking a basic question of a public leader, you sure as hell aren't going stand up for anything as abstract as a national principle or ethos. American journalism is dying. And with it, our republic.

- Every few months there's a story called like EVIL GENIUS? STEVE BANNON'S SECRET MASTER PLAN TO RULE THE WORLD REVEALED and you look inside and it's always about how Steve Bannon called them up to tell them he's an evil genius and that he has a secret master plan to rule the world.
- Ice will probably have fewer guys come November than now

- theres only so many guys who love racism enough to put up with this shit and turnover Is high. Also they’re only going to get more hated and by extension find recruiting and retention even more difficult

- The GOP has offered nothing this century except for catastrophic wars. No healthcare plan; no re-industrialization. Now they're losing their only issue, immigration, as people see the violence and havoc that comes with mass deportations.

- “We have created a monster rampaging through the heart of our democracy and are trying to define and restrict which cities it can pillage and how many civilians it can eat. The problem isn’t the restrictions on the Frankensteinian monster … the problem is the monster.”
- Congress has a real chance right now to influence and change the trajectory of immigration enforcement in the US and arrest the use of ICE and CBP as a fascist secret presidential interior police. Here's my research on what would make a difference: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-ways-t...

- The fact that ICE is already massively overfunded should alone be enough reason to refuse to give them another penny. It is insane that Democrats are so deep in MAGA talking points that they are even considering giving that agency more money.
