For the record, I am an American and a patriot, therefore I am whole-heartedly anti-fascism. If "AnTiFa" were an actual thing, I would probably join in a heartbeat. That isn't a controversial stance. What IS a controversial stance? Americans who think anti-fasctists are the enemy. Check yourself.

I need to hear from the folks in the 60/70s and protesting Vietnam (and everything else)...did shit feel as corrupt, unjust, overwhelming, and impossible to overcome as they do now? Not inviting you to compare, more how you felt in the moment, not knowing what you know now

Another senseless death of our most vulnerable, more blood on the hands of the conspirators and cowards who allow this taxpayer-funded reign of lawless terror to continue.
In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization
It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

The leaders of Albania & Azerbaijan were filmed mocking US Trump for claiming he ended a war between the 2 countries, even though they have never fought each other.
The world thinks that the occupant is a joke.
He’s destroying our country. Congress must act.

ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.
"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.

We should also talk more about how too many Republicans do not see entire swaths of people as actual people. You don’t casually muse about starting a war if you see troops as humans with lives and families. Normal people don’t fantasize about those from other countries dying for their own amusement.
Rep. Greg Steube: "You see Macron and the French sending troops to Greenland. I would love to see the US military up against French troops in Greenland, because it would not last very long. It would be a very small skirmish ... we don't care about what Macron and the French want."

It seems to me Congress should hold off on funding elaborate conspiracies to violate the Constitution.
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Really would like even a single major newspaper or TV media outlet to lead with this when discussing everything related to Trump and Greenland.
Threatening allies is a violation of the NATO treaty. Which makes it a violation of federal law.
Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties

He should still be immediately impeached & removed for even threatening this stuff with our NATO allies.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

If the king is so easily mislead on such insane things, he never should have been king in the first place.
The king cannot be wrong, only misled by wicked advisors.

We have an entire class of Democratic "leadership" that has been told that it's dangerous and extreme to say this, and that does not understand that what Democrats want is for their leaders to articulate what they believe and why they believe it. That should not be as big an ask as it apparently is.
Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."
