John Brown’s Body

yes

just to make that clear for the rest of the world, that's -9 degrees *fahrenheit.* -23 degrees *celsius*.

True.

The Jan 21, 2029 list needs to include collecting the $800 billion civil penalty from the tech firms that flouted the law for a year.

Someone should tell her…one of the few times I wish I still had Twitter:

"This is my country and I believe in her. I'll protect her from all enemies, both foreign and domestic."

This. When folks from all walks of life are bravely resisting oppression, they are *living* the aspirational vision of America. Honor that. This isn't inconsistent with recognizing America's deeply rooted history of violence. Many on the front lines are chewing this gum and walking at the same time!

"You are now on your way home. You fought not only the enemy, but you fought prejudice--and you have won. Keep up that fight, and we will continue to win--to make this great Republic stand for just what the Constitution says it stands for: the welfare of all the people all the time."

I'll say yet again: Trump & his party do something virtually every day that constitutes a more violent & alarming suppression of speech than anything that happened during the entire alleged tyranny of woke. Every day. Yet the entire Free Spech army has just vanished into mist.

just saw graffiti on the upper west side that reads: “HABEAS CORPUS IS SACRED”

there’s something happening here, what it is ain’t exactly clear…

The Americans who let their fear & greed grant them permission to break the American promise were the ones who had given up on America, on liberty, on justice, and on freedom and that if we were given a 2nd chance to do right, we should live & die defending the promise instead. Pick your side. 4/4

Used to go to church with a Japanese American WW2 vet. He was so proud of his service in Italy during the war. When he got home, he married a woman who was white, and faced persecution for it. He knew ALL about the good and the bad of this country and wouldn't have changed one thing he did.

Hard agree. It’s just wrong! There’s a reason my community is full of Latino and Hmong and Somali people, and it’s because another America does exist and has existed. A free and welcoming America we can return to

People who say this are clearly speaking aspirationally about a shared American creed they hold dear. “Have you heard of the Trail of Tears?” is not a very helpful response, because they probably have and the priority right now is moral opposition to fascism and not fake-educating each other.

This theory of politics always lags public opinion. Good, or even just decent, politicians should be shaping policy!

You are a disgrace to your constituents, of which I am one. You swore an oath and ICE willfully abrogates the constitution. Grow a spine you coward.

You can’t be fucking serious. Can’t wait for someone to primary your deadbeat, faithless ass. You swore an oath and while your constituents constitutional rights are violated, you can’t even be raised to care.

Bro was negotiating with the voices in his head

why is everyone debating the Biden DoJ's legal process

everyone relevant openly committed, suborned, or conspired to commit insurrection, which is punishable by death, on national TV. the moderate position should have been to arrest them immediately and shoot them later after a trial

Secret police keep their identities secret, and they operate by secret procedures that override ordinary law.

This is a secret police force.

Abolish ICE.

Hung a guy at Nuremburg for doing this, FYI. Not "a thing like this" but literally this, exactly.

I remember an interview on British TV with a guy from a normal British rifle unit who volunteered and he talked about American volunteers trying to get air support and being told “my brother in Christ this is not Iraq, we have no planes”

A very telling interview from early on in the International Legion days is that the vets with basic infantry experience were gold, but most of the ex-SOF guys cracked psychologically the second they realized they weren't fighting with every single advantage possible.

It's as though the media heard Don Corleone say, "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse" and reported, "Don Corleone backs off threats of force. Promises only to make a really nice offer."

I’m becoming socially conservative in that I’m becoming a real tightass about civic virtue & honor. Fuck your boyfriend & his husband wearing dogsuits in private if you want, I don’t care at all, but I’m becoming pretty humorless about people feeling they have no obligation to any civic project

YES! We’re truly a disgusting people.

What sort of temp shift are we talking to make temperate inhospitable?
