All Senate Democrats (and independents) must vote tomorrow against the DHS appropriations bill.

Please call your senators today and say NO more funding for ICE: 202-224-3121.

If they won't say what the warrant is for, they probably didn't actually have a warrant

Today we remember the millions of lives lost during the Holocaust, the millions of stories of individual bravery and heroism, and one of the enduring lessons of one of the darkest chapters in human history: that while humans create beautiful things and are full of compassion, we're also capable of unspeakable brutality. And we promise never again to go down the darkest path.

Legitimately a feat of carefully calculated writing to issue a Holocaust Remembrance Day statement of this length without mentioning either (1) the people who perpetrated the Holocaust or (2) the people against whom they perpetrated it

Daily reminder that if youโ€™re a right wing anti-government extremist, you can point high-powered rifles at federal agents and the media will declare you to be within your rights, and a noble patriot, but if you are a lefty protestor, even having a gun that you never touched means youโ€™re a terrorist.

I swear, once you see the way trans people are systematically misinterpreted to the most ridiculous possible extent by most cis people (and sometimes other trans people!) you can never unsee it.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call โ€œsymbolic compliance.โ€

Thatโ€™s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

To understand Miller you need to understand that his core political strategy is โ€œevil works.โ€ He thinks the bad guys in history are cool because they feel strong and hurt the weak, and thatโ€™s what he wants to do. Heโ€™s roleplaying the villain and his only solution to any problem is โ€œbe more evil.โ€

The right-wing mind cannot imagine the spontaneous logistics of like five bored punks around a pot of lentils and are thus spooked by what is literally just an average zine.

He knows Hitler wasnโ€™t a leftist because he personally had Grok changed to be a Hitler apologist, and he knows the Nazis werenโ€™t socialists because he personally had Twitter Safety stop censoring pro-Nazi content! And IMO it is even stupider to lie this badly than it is to just be ignorant

Yes, you should assume there are some right-wing freaks and MAGA Feds lurking in huge, highly publicized Signal group chats like the Minneapolis ICE Watch chats.

This does not mean itโ€™s now unsafe to use Signal for smaller, highly screened chats (as compared to say, normal texts or FB messenger).

Thereโ€™s just zero excuse for any Democrat to not support Abolish ICE at this point when even Republicans are laying the groundwork to throw the entire agency under the bus.

It needs to be a litmus test in every single primary race this year, I donโ€™t care if itโ€™s a red district or not.
