🚨URGENT: Trump's UNHINGED DHS pick—Markwayne Mullin—confirmation hearing tentatively set for next week!
He defends ICE fatally shooting citizens, backs expelling US-born kids, objected to 2020 election results.
Tell your Senators: BLOCK this nomination!
Quick addendum on this: the one part of the left that truly understood power was ... unions. Union organizers were never under the illusion that they could sweet-talk concessions from bosses with the right framing. They dealt in power.
That's why the right killed them.
If you want to beat them, figure out how to organize a bloc of economic actors whose material interests are served by the transition. Organize a bloc with *more power* and then *defeat* them. That's how this works. You're not going to fucking seduce them with your clever verbiage!
I don't want to do a whole long rant on this, so I'll just say: the reason fossil fuels & other aligned incumbents don't want to transition to clean energy is that it will *damage their material interests*. And folks, they understand their own material interests. Really well!
‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’
‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’
‘Hello’ is not related to either.
Goodbye.
One of the grossest things in the Epstein files is how he just randomly scanned the news for men accused of SA and used this money and connections to dig up dirt on victims.
Footage from Minab, Iran, shows the aftermath of an Israeli-US strike on a girls' elementary school that reportedly killed more than 50 people.

People born in the 2000s will never understand a nation once so innocent that an ice skater kneecapping another ice skater sent us into an existential crisis.
👏👏👏
ICE “left” Chicago in November, but they’ve disappeared three people from my community in two days this week.
Don’t believe the hype about them, leaving Minnesota, either.
Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude
If you've received notice that your TSA Pre or Global Entry has been revoked and you believe it's due to your political activity, I'd love to talk to you.

Multiple deadly ICE shootings later, and they know body cameras are enough to make the public relax.
Trump is raising a private paramilitary police force to execute his slow-motion coup—and the idea of justice?
Body cameras.
Housing insecurity is a real and urgent nationwide issue.
In recent months, I’ve been part of an housing coalition working to pass Evanston’s landmark strategic housing plan. I spoke before the mayor and council last week urging them to pass it and they voted wisely!
Now the hard work begins.
The massive growth of deportation infrastructure has been uneven & inadequate to meet the administration's goals. The bottlenecks of not enough ICE lawyers in MN (see article below) is partly solved by denying detainees the right to appeal (see 2nd article below). 1/

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need a lot more of this.

‘We cannot state political goals that cannot pass at this exact moment’ is some real loser talk.
“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”
ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
Excuse me! Excuse me! May I please have your attention.

If you actually respect a person, you owe them your honest opinion and this is true especially when you disagree.
Increasingly people on the left act like transphobia isn't like "other" bigotries because we're "more controversial" or "scare away voters" or "an idpol psyop" or there aren't enough of us to matter, and meanwhile the right is overtly trying to kill us all.

Look at all the men who are silent while the most powerful man on the planet insults a woman. Big men. Very strong men.
Why does everyone continue to soft pedal this shit?
" because of allegations contained in the Epstein files"
No... she lived it, she didn't wait for emails to surface, she isn't thinking - well that email lines up... she is telling you and still you are still like... well these emails are curious
