- yes this. bezos massively sucks and was always an anti-union turd with the post’s workers, but in the 20-teens he was almost the only person EXPANDING a newspaper. i was a working journalist at the time and the post was THE place to be for people who wanted to thrive in an old-school newsroom

- Reposted by brian j.It’s day 64 of the ICE occupation of MSP. Today ICE officers once again arrested observers at gunpoint, caused lockdowns of neighborhood schools, and harassed people on the street simply for their skin color. Nothing has changed, despite the rhetoric from “leaders.”

- Reposted by brian j.the practical effect of arresting lemon et al is to spark widespread condemnation, especially since these arrests will certainly be thrown out. this doesn't mean the action isn't a dangerous escalation, it does mean the white house doesn't know what to do but spam its only attack
- Reposted by brian j.the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

Tell them you want ICE, CBP and all the rest of it defunded and dismantled. Tell them you will be voting against anyone who doesn't do this. This is our chance.
