- Reposted by Patrick BiggerRiffing off Brendan's method of juxtaposition in this awesome report, I'd like to offer another comparison: Food assistance cuts versus new funding for DHS in the "Big Beautiful Bill" Republicans cut food assistance by $187 billion while providing $191 billion in funding for DHS

- Reposted by Patrick BiggerRight now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

Both are considered “highly trained.” The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

- Reposted by Patrick BiggerOne of the reasons I am so insistent that everyone remember that only 22% of the US population voted for Trump is that the Christian Nationalists want the myth of a mandate in circulation. We need to reject it. They never had a mandate, and their coalition is shrinking.

- Rebuilding Venezuelan oil production doesn't make economic and would be an environmental catastrophe. My new analysis shows that getting Venezuelan oil production to 1997 levels would create new annual emissions on par with entire countries like France & Thailand- the 19th biggest national emitter
