The anger people have at media institutions and college administrators can’t be detached from this, it’s not just that people can perceive cowardice it’s that they see others with more on the line doing more to stand up for their values than the people who have been trusted to safeguard things

A lot of folks who, in other circumstances, would be legally barred from going within 500 feet of a school are now deemed to be 'experts in dealing with children'.
Bovino: "Here in the US Border Patrol, I will say unequivocally that we are experts in dealing with children"

So you think kids should be vaccinated at gunpoint against their parents’ wishes or removed from the home?

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Just going to reiterate the idea of blasting "Baby Shark" every time Bovino appears in public.
Minnesotans are the perfect people to bring back the next wave of mockery. Fascism is powerless against it.
With arms linked and snow falling, Minneapolis ICE protesters dance as ICE agents retreat back. "Nah nah nah, hey hey hey, goodbye!" WATCH ⬇️

In response to the Renee Good killing, Dems propose ICE reforms that would have done nothing to prevent the Renee Good killing

Hard but worth it
The only way out of all this is comprehensive immigration reform, which means the only way out of this is eliminating the Senate filibuster. End of discussion. When you hear the word filibuster, think about Renee Good. About kids being detained. Don't let Senators bullshit you about this anymore.

BREAKING: There is an attractive looking woman in the stadium. We are filming her so men can imagine having sex with her.
UPDATE: Apologies to our male viewers - we have learned that the woman we wanted you to imagine having sex has *had* sex. We have begun an aggressive campaign to punish her.

A thought about constantly talking abstractly about "prices": Prices being high as an issue is self-evident. People either notice their bank balances and care about it, or they don't notice and the message doesn't resonate. You have a platform! Use it to actually shine a light on something.

absolutely insane to see Musk feted at Davos as the icon of a boldly "optimistic" future in 2026, as if he hadn't just spent the last year buying elections for fascists, making Nazi salutes, condemning millions in Africa to death, and building "Mechahitler," and a nonconsensual porn/CSAM generator

journalism would be a lot better if every story was framed with “the purpose of a system is what it does.” who gives a shit what politicians say. what’s the actual outcome of their actions? that’s what they achieved. report on that.
