- Reposted by CUI BONO? was CircusNoBreadthey're trying to be coy about salivating over the prospect of raping women, they'll contest that but if pushed to explain, that's exactly what they would describe. forced pregnancy of any kind, by a man or by the state, is gender-based violence

- New from 404 Media: the FBI has been unable to get into the iPhone of raided Washington Post journalist because the phone had Lockdown Mode enabled. Apple markets Lockdown Mode mostly to stop spyware like NSO. Here, a real world example of it stopping access too www.404media.co/fbi-couldnt-...
- Reposted by CUI BONO? was CircusNoBreadHe should be creating a list of planned facilities (which are extremely unpopular with most Americans) and encouraging candidates to fight them. Localities are already succeeding at this. Where they can't succeed, they're finding clever ways to punish contractors who collaborate with them. [3/4]
- Reposted by CUI BONO? was CircusNoBreadThe 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]
- Reposted by CUI BONO? was CircusNoBreadSome 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 CUI BONO? was CircusNoBreadBut to being earnest: plenty of commentators operate in bad faith. I don’t think Stancil operates in bad faith. I do think he said many things which are wrong. I also think he was earnest. I therefore thing he shouldn’t be in elected office. He ran for office! He’s not just a dude.
- Reposted by CUI BONO? was CircusNoBreadNo, genuinely we think he’s saying things and acting in ways that stand to put people in danger, and many of us are folks with experience in these spaces where we have seen the consequences of people being endangered in those ways. Seen people hurt, badly, by authorities.
- Reposted by CUI BONO? was CircusNoBreadjust seems worth noting that (a) this was not nonviolent resistance, and (b) I think most people would think this was not just justified, but righteous. 1

- Reposted by CUI BONO? was CircusNoBreadHeads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

- Reposted by CUI BONO? was CircusNoBreadI’ve been working on the Lawyers’ Committee Election Protection project for more than 20 years. This kind of threat happens in almost every cycle and almost never materializes. The threat - creating fear - IS the voter suppression tool. It costs nothing so any suppression it produces is a plus.

- Reposted by CUI BONO? was CircusNoBreadCrucially, pulling off that balancing act you describe is an insane feat of needle-threading in a cell-phone-camera world where the first ICE/CBP agent to rough up a voter is going to be *everywhere* on social media within an hour or two. You know, while polls are still open.
- Reposted by CUI BONO? was CircusNoBreadWhy? What would sending ICE into Black neighborhoods that vote +90 Dem already do? Do you mean Hispanic neighborhoods? Perhaps--but that only works if there are vulnerable seats there. How many at-risk seats are in urban Hispanic-majority neighborhoods?
- Reposted by CUI BONO? was CircusNoBreadLet’s think through how ICE/BP thugs doing voter intimidation could possibly swing the midterms. Have to pick close races, pick the right precincts, not inspire backlash, and do all that in enough places to overcome a likely national wave. They’ll try, it’s wrong, but I second the anti-doomerism.

- Reposted by CUI BONO? was CircusNoBreadMaybe Epstein did kill himself. But imagine if he was still alive - who would be most concerned about him talking or even testifying? I suppose those would be the most likely suspects if he didn’t kill himself. But did any of those people have control over federal prisons in 2019?
