Girl, why you reposting all this Bernie bros nonsense into my timelines? This cult just as crazy as the one currently in power.

Um, I mean, Clarence Thomas is pretty self-hating. Tim Scott. The few Black Trumpers i know definitely are. Black people can be just as loathesome and stupid and damaged as anyone. It's not racist to say some folks have internalized racism. That jerk hit nail on the head here, unwittingly.

One of the most melodramatically malevolent federal officials ever to do it. If we live through this he should maybe become a stock villain of Italian theater.

The headline is enough to make my head explode. I'm not going to read the rest. The Washington Post has become a mouthpiece for authoritarianism. Katherine Graham is rolling in her grave.

The US is deporting a journalist today

Mario Guevara was live streaming ICE atrocities

They grabbed him

Detained him for 100 Days and are sending him to El Salvador without letting him say goodbye to his family

The ACLU confirmed he was working in the US legally

They’re attacking the free press

Don’t believe anyone who tells you that intelligence shows anything β€œwithout a doubt,” but even if the intelligence was water-tight, this strike was still murder. No law permits the deliberate, premeditated killing of civilians.

Scenes from immigration court in New York’s Federal Plaza. Till Eckert spent two weeks reporting from the twelfth-floor hallways, where ICE agents have had charged encounters with immigrants and reporters.

β€œThese are scenes I was not expecting to see in the US. You have detentions in Germany, but …they’re certainly not carried out by people who are wearing masks. There’s no comparison to that in Germany”

Just read (skimmed) that piece in The Atlantic about "warrior culture" and all I have to say is: come live as a Black woman in America for 24 hours and then get back to me.

Y'all are exhausting.

If the governor of Massachusetts called for residents to not pay their federal taxes en mass i would do it. If only 20 percent of Ma (or California) residents withheld, the under-resourced IRS could not pursue them all.

Correct. The majority of my family are Black church-going Christians who oppose abortion but absolutely do not vote on any single issue, unless that issue is trying to keep a racist out of the White House.
