An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

The only way that makes any sense is if they are a) suggesting that Pretti was specifically targeted as revenge for a tail light and that the murder was premeditated and b) that reflects positively on CPB?
News Movement posted this video of Alex Pretti on Jan 13, showing him spitting at ICE agents and kicking their taillight.
Now conservatives are suggesting this changes things.
That would mean they are suggesting he deserved to be target of an extrajudicial execution.
The video changes nothing.

Indeed, I think a core part of our problem right now is that people with humanities degrees and humanities jobs have felt obligated to constantly *apologize* for it for a long time now.

If you want to know what I want Democrats to do, please look at everything the GOP has done to fuck shit up when it was the minority party and copy and paste those tactics.
I want Democrats to use every lever at their disposal to shut things down. They have the power to obstruct and gum up the works, the only thing stopping them is outdated norms.
People are being executed in the streets and if elected Dems aren't prepared to do dramatic things, they can fuck off.

What do y’all expect Dems to do? Undo the Big Beautiful budget bill (that the GOP majority passed)? Even if Dems hold up the budget resolution and shut down the govt, DHS and ICE will continue to operate. So what, exactly, can they do as the minority party?

Wow. I wonder why.
New: DHS now says that two weeks of missing surveillance footage from ICE's Broadview Detention center isn't "missing," it was never recorded in the first place and thus can't be produced in an abuse lawsuit. An utter shitshow:

The fucking gall of these people and their embarrassing cover up. An institutional guiding practice that sees an officer turning off their body cam as the highest calling, and should be taken as an admission of guilt of crimes against humanity.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

A lot more people should know about the bravery Marimar Martinez displayed in the midst of Chicago’s occupation and the murder of two observers in MSP. They tried to kill her, shooting her 5 times, and it’s a miracle she’s alive to push for transparency like this after being persecuted by the DOJ.
