Every single day ICE agents are threatening people and terrorizing communities.

We’ve seen ICE pepper spray babies, disappear US citizens, slam distraught mothers and fathers to the ground—now they’re terrorizing St. Paul.

ICE is out of control and should be abolished.

The rage and anxiety I feel about ICE in NC.

But not helplessness. Lots of good people are out here.

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and it is now clear to me that the President of the United States is a pedophile. But at least I know that the Cracker Barrel logo won't be changed any time soon.

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID

Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

In central MD alone, ICE is rapidly contracting:

- AI skip tracing
- AI face recognition
- Cell tower spoofing vehicles
- Signal exploitation equipment
- 6 months of MREs for detainees
- Detainee transport vans
- Device cracking & data exploit firms

I don't know what fool is being quoted but that is a *staggering* misunderstanding of what Scipio Africanus did.

Scipio Africanus was one of the major architects of a *two century* long Roman military commitment in Spain and also set down permanent security commitments in North Africa.

Between this and the tariffs and the ICE raids and the 'maybe war with Venezuela, Iran and/or Nigeria' I am having a hard time imagining how I would invent a 'GOP actually *trying* to lose' policy plan that would be distinguishable from their current policy set.

Great scoop here!

The Democratic Party Needs to Learn from Zohran Mamdani's Guts and Backbone Zohran Mamdani did something different, and it made all the difference.

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-)

he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

Historical FYI: Nathanael Greene was asthmatic, had a limp and a perpetually infected eye, and was constantly sick.

He was also, as Cornwallis wrote, "as dangerous as [George] Washington. He is vigilant, enterprising, and full of resources–there is but little hope of gaining an advantage over him."

I remember in the early years in Ukraine it was such a target of mockery that Russia put out propaganda videos showing soldiers doing backflips and throwing axes while instead Ukraine focused on mastering logistics, the thing that actually wins wars. Now the US is wanting to go down the russian path

Trump parties, while American families go hungry.

I am hanging out at mile 18 of the NYC marathon for a while. Such a beautiful day! A bit too balmy for a marathon but great for spectators. The elite runners will be coming by Lots of cheers for the wheelchair participants

Great to be out in the South Ward of Newark yesterday! Home stretch going strong!

Mamdani: You know, there wasn’t a single New Yorker I spoke to who told me the reason they were voting for Donald Trump was so he could spend $300 million on renovating a White House ballroom.

I can’t stress this enough: you cannot understand politics without reading this paragraph about why there’s no such thing as a 1/3rd pound hamburger

Vance obviously figured out in 2022 that his only path to the Senate was to go full MAGA and lean hard into the dickishness of the movement for the new persona he created. But deciding that there is no limit to how far you will go in your awfulness is certainly a choice.

We really should lose the neo part post haste. They really are just run of the mill Nazis like they always have been. They know this so we should too.

Conservatives have built their own social media platforms, Trump has his own Twitter alternative, his allies are buying major social media platforms to weaponize for their propaganda and influence and we’re still arguing if having a left-leaning social media platform is a bad thing

The level of kleptocratic corruption in this regime is breathtaking, e.g.:

—Selling off Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae to big banks

—Bribes from ABC & CBS

—TikTok sale to Ellison

—Everything Qatar: the plane gift, the Idaho military base

—Whoever has bribed him by buying his scam meme coins

it makes me angry every day that they’ve arranged their lives so that the right has constant access to them and the left has none but they frame that as neutrality

Absolutely insane that the President of the United States has sent militarized secret police to attack multiple American cities, all at the same time.

The fact that protests now feature people who don’t normally have to worry about what might happen to them in an adverse encounter with security forces is a HUGE DEAL.

It means that the “real” victims don’t have to suffer alone. It means that some people care about something more than themselves
