I really believe that huge majorities of Americans don’t want masked soldiers shooting priests in the street. They don’t want naked children ripped out out of their apartments in the middle of the night and handcuffed. We win by making sure these stories get told.

The most fundamental political debate of our time: You are integrated into and have responsibility for our complex, imperfect society vs. Nuh-uh.

Immigration is by far the most important political issue of the century for the simple reason that it has the same origins and effects, the same scope of impact, and arouses the same passions with the same moral urgency as the issue of slavery did in 1850s America

If Microsoft is so concerned about me not being able to upgrade to Windows 11 later this month they should just mail me a $2000 Microcenter gift card instead of sending me five emails a week

I know there's a lot to keep up with but someone has ALREADY been killed by ICE in Chicago, its not a theoretical question, and folks are dying in ICE detention and being disappeared constantly, when you say "someone's gonna get killed" youre actually washing the blood from their hands 😘✌️

A tree nestled between two sidewalks in Little Village, Chicago IL.
A close-up of the same tree reveals a camouflaged grey cat that was there all along.

I feel like "objective reality exists and we can experience it" is one of the strongest points of agreement for the left-liberal coalition at this point.

As the people who insist otherwise try to burn the country, it's important to affirm that immigrants, from everywhere, are awesome, and America is better the more immigrants we have. You have to be just empty and vapid and unimaginably small to reject that.

To be a bigoted crank is to reject the values and methods that allow civilization to exist. It is to reject reason and virtue. We are seeing what happens when bigoted cranks get power right now in our government.
Bigoted cranks are evil. As those who have been vulnerable to them know.

These people as so insulated in their civilized liberal bubbles that they do not understand that bigoted cranks commit atrocities, and all the little horrors of life. They are the ones who lynch the stranger. They are the ones who say the child deserved it.

as the person who kicked off a lot of the modern "civil war 2" discourse i don't think we're past the point where that can be avoided. i do think we are already in a state of mass civil conflict. but many nations (see: Italy) have been through similar upheavals without war.

Trump is, in addition to being completely morally rotten, also committed to seeing no need of forgiveness on his part and works righteousness! He is a *literal* doctrinal heretic of the rankest sort! Worse than most mainliners!
