It'd be poetic if an oil crisis and stagflation ends up being the thing that first killed New Deal liberalism in the 70s, then revived it in the 2020s.

Democrats Are Misunderstanding the Trans Rights Trap The controversy stirring in Democratic circles over transgender rights is a classic framing trap. Republicans have manufactured this “issue.” Democrats are about to fall for it, again.

"White Democrats under white supremacy are forever Atticus Finch, forever losing, forever consoling themselves that they served honorably while ignoring their own failure to disrupt an evil system."

Gavin Newsom, Kristi Noem Nod Silently To Each Other In Plastic Surgeon’s Office

My opinion: Jamelle Bouie is the best national political columnist in America. This doesn’t mean he is always right or you always need to agree with him. But he consistently elevates the form. Conservatives and liberals who make deranged personal attacks on him just make themselves look bad.

You think "the online left" is unhinged, dog please talk to an independent voter IRL. They want universal healthcare and abolish taxes. They want to dissolve the coast guard. They want to rename the army the coast guard. They want their alien implants removed, and they also want more alien implants

i can't describe directly what should happen to this 39% of people but let's just say i have some ideas

A fake ICE tip line reveals neighbors reporting neighbors A Nashville comedian’s deportation hotline, set up as a joke, has gone viral among viewers who say it shows the “banality of evil personified” in the U.S. immigration crackdown.

New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

The drunk uncle theory.

You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

It ain’t over til Minnesota has ICE’s battle flag

Has the right ever NOT complained about a Super Bowl halftime show ever?

That Ring “search party” ad was unsubtle enough that even my 10yo watched it and was like “are they gonna use this for ICE?”

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Opinion | This Is Just Who Trump Is

"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

This is what one afternoon drop looks like for one (1) Minneapolis mutual aid distributor (read: random mom who wants to help families at her kids’ schools)

We need to use the rhetoric and framing that Bush used with Iraq against the Trumpers.

Regime. Regime elements. Etc

oh commuters just found the motherlode of ice agents at a suburban hotel, including, potentially, bovino himself. a bunch of confirmed ICE and CBP cars from the bovino convoy there. spring hill suites in maple grove.

people of the twin cities, do with this info what you will.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Why does he keep saying "thank you for your attention to this matter?" WTF is that?

Every poll these days is like:

- Mad Nazi Pedophile King: 39%

- The Democrats: 42%

Unarmed woman executed by state may have been on committee to fight against unarmed women being executed by the state

Basically, using GoFundMe as murder for hire

The hack Trump has discovered is that if you escalate endlessly, at some point Democrats will stop escalating their response to you, because they’re scared of acknowledging what you are and what it obligates them to do. At that point you have total freedom to break any rule, do anything you want.

Soon...

The only just ending for this mess

The only appropriate end to this mess:

How the Trump Era ends

basically the resistance vibe is that donald trump is the only bad guy and that everyone else was kinda nasty but not super duper evil, and if you even hint that its a little deeper than that youre suddenly a trump apologist. which is kooky stuff.
