Morgan Fahey
Trying to keep the politics reposts from overwhelming the usual stew of film, food, art, science, books, & cats (w/ occasional French) and mostly failing at the moment.

- Reposted by Morgan Fahey‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’
- Reposted by Morgan FaheyI think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.
- Reposted by Morgan FaheyThe country is furious about what's going on. 86% of Ds and 47% of independents nationwide support *abolishing* ICE. He should offer a vision of how ICE & CBP can be fundamentally diminished or dismantled, even if he can't do it today. Creating a road map generates pressure and possibilities. [2/4]
- All of this
- Some people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]
- Reposted by Morgan FaheyWe have enough evidence for UBI in general that this policy should be a given. But the difference is, to understand UBI works is to believe that people are fundamentally good. And a big chunk of society is built around the belief, *must maintain the belief* that people are fundamentally bad.
- Reposted by Morgan FaheyI don't know what it is about idiots who buy newspapers without understanding why they exist or what their business is, but I think gutting books coverage is some kind of canary in the coalmine. These jackasses don't read books, so they assume no one else does either.
- Reposted by Morgan FaheyBezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

- Reposted by Morgan FaheyPer Yahoo, Le was previously an immigration court attorney for ICE and volunteered* to help the U.S. Attorney's Office in MN. And it broke her. “We have no guidance or direction on what we need to do,” Le said. * "Volunteered" could be her boss saying, "you must volunteer for this."
- Reposted by Morgan FaheyIt's a continuous indictment of the press corps that they don't walk out en masse when this flatulent meat sack says things like this.

- Reposted by Morgan FaheyI don't know if non-lawyers understand how insane this statement is. I honestly can't think of anything remotely comparable in non-lawyer speak. I guess the closest would be a surgeon saying "Imagine if I had to wash my HANDS before doing surgery!"

- Reposted by Morgan Faheyfurthermore, fuck Neil Gaiman
- In Neil Gaiman’s “I did nothing wrong ever” statement he says there’s been no good journalism about him or his assaults. There has been, of course. Thing is, he said the same thing in 2018 when @moryan.bsky.social reported on issues behind the scenes on American Gods www.moryan.com/a-burn-it-do...

- Reposted by Morgan FaheyI was a White House ethics lawyer. I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules. I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.
- Reposted by Morgan FaheyThe thing that bothers me the most about the election doomering is that people are really overindexed on the the heavy boot stuff like “troops at polling places” that I’m not sure would actually suppress turnout and underindexed on the GOP just refusing to seat everyone.

- Reposted by Morgan FaheyIf you still don't think ICE is secret police who's job is to terrorize neighborhoods and nothing else, here you go. Plain as day. If you can't get on board with abolish and dismantle this immediately then you should take a long time to think about what path this leads to. And quickly.
- 404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for the Palantir-made tool called ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address. www.404media.co/here-is-the-...

- Reposted by Morgan FaheyIt’s been 8 days and we still don’t know the names of the men who murdered Alex Pretti. DHS must be abolished. No ICE. No palantir surveillance police state. There’s no “fixing” a sociopathic agency designed to trample on our freedoms.
- Reposted by Morgan FaheySome jawdropping CBP crime statistics here...
- I testified Friday before Gov. Pritzker's commission studying abuses of ICE and CBP and tried to explain how the agencies went so far off track. It's actually way worse than I ever realized. Please read and share my testimony as Congress considers reform: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...
- Reposted by Morgan Faheymany people are going to be tempted to say this proves the weakness of peaceful protest. this is incorrect because it assumes this happening is a failure of peaceful protest rather than the mechanism by which it succeeds
- Reposted by Morgan FaheyWe live in a world where a convicted child rapist and sex trafficker is treated better in prison than the children who’ve been detained by ICE. Ghislaine Maxwell gets to be in a cushy minimum security facility … 5 year old Liam Ramos is locked up in a camp where kids are screaming “let us out”.
- Reposted by Morgan FaheyAnd just to further put a point on it, this is very explicitly the point of militant nonviolent protest. To demonstrate incontrovertibly to even the low info news consumer that agents of the oppressor are engaging in an entirely one-sided brutality against the vulnerable

- The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll
