The Illinois legislature had passed the “Illinois Bivens Act,” allowing people to sue ICE agents in state court. Just waiting for Pritzker’s signature.

“When people’s needs aren’t being met, they need an alternative, and so far, only the far right was providing an alternative in the form of authoritarianism, in the form of fascism, in the form of hate, turning against immigrants, against queer people, against Muslims.”

I’m no statistician, but if you buy your first house in your 30s on a 50-year mortgage, and life expectancy is low 80s, isn’t this just called — rent?

This is it. We know exactly how to fix the climate crisis. We have all the technology and we know what actions we need to take. What people are hoping for is a technology that will fix everything without us having to change anything at all, and that's a fantasy. We have to do the work.

Interesting thread!

Something to consider about the growth of the 'No Kings' movement in America: normal neighbors standing on street corners read as very radical and enraged in America, though some activists see it as pretty blah.

Always thought it was sad that Ayn Rand—one of the most successful authors of children's fantasy books of all time—had little enough saved in the bank in her old age that she had to rely on public assistance until her death, but I'm glad it was there for her.

Attacks on trans rights are often framed as efforts to "protect women."

But the reality is that such attacks only protect the patriarchy. Because enforcing a strict sex-based gender binary makes it easier to tilt that binary into a hierarchy where women are subordinate to men.

YouTube video by Democracy Now! "Rubio's Ideological Project": What's Driving Trump's Campaign Against Venezuela?

Good to look at what Rubio is getting out of his devil's deal. And let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that Marco Rubio doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing,

Canada could end up winning the World Series and taking over the United States.

ICE is out of control and beyond repair This agency needs to be stripped down to the studs. Dems should start preparing now.

"Reform of ICE can start with firing every one of the unqualified thugs hired between 2025 and 2028; if you joined during the Trump administration and consider yourself a solid civil servant, you’d be welcome to reapply. And wearing masks should be barred."

Latest in PN:

Who looks at what’s happening and says to themselves, “I’d love to put on a mask and a bulletproof vest, then go around smashing car windows and tackling terrified housekeepers and landscapers on the sidewalk”?

I sat in the British Library reading League of Empire Loyalists, BNP & National Front literature for my book and even they claimed to promote *voluntary* repatriation. Forcible deportation was always the ghost behind those ideas, but it’s amazing that UK politicians don’t even bother to hide it.

The fact this juvenile Stewie Griffin shit is cast as some great emotional toughness-of-war is proof of how far we’ll go to infantilize the most powerful and dangerous people.

Here we go?

I know there's a lot of controversy about the Cracker Barrel logo, so I worked up a new option that should be good with everyone... The barrel is back, but it's now guarded by Scubble, The Cracker Goblin. I also worked up a new slogan for the company!

This is where we paid tribute to Carmen Sandiego and left Dorito crumbs at her shrine.

If it doesn’t already exist I want to make an 80’s style corded phone base to set your smartphone in, which turns it into a basic phone with an analog ringer- a tiny hammer clanging on a little bell.

The Young Wolf

Jackson Mississippi doesn’t have water or trash pickup and the highest murder rate in the nation, but sure, send your national guard to one of the richest cities in the country with far far lower crime and functioning services.

I know the weak/strong thing is core to fascism but it's so exhausting to experience in real time. Like these guys run on platforms of being manly men and then once elected all they do is talk about how they're afraid to walk through Kroger and we need machine gun robots in every 7/11.

Not to mention they’re cool with the US govt burning billions to beef up a violent national police force and build concentration camps to arrest and detain immigrant laborers, which also makes food more expensive, which was why I thought they hated that senile old democrat guy in the first place.

I’m imagining a conversation between a contemporary “natural” anti-vax/medical prophylactic-hesitant mother with a mother in the 1700’s who’s survived 7 live births and has 3 children who lived past the age of 5.
