ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Fascism selects for people who think they see through the lie of liberal democracy but who are actually just too broken and malformed to eke out a reasonably satisfying life on conditions of general equality with their fellow citizens.
The fascists certainly aren't very good at this, are they

I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering.

Because the issue of population change is so widely misunderstood, here's a short thread which seeks to lay it out simply.
It explains why there is almost nothing anyone can do to change the global population trajectory, both as numbers rise, then as they fall.

Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

“Either you cowards or you with them.” 💯💯💯 I will never forgive these institutions, especially the deep-pocketed universities. They have the MEANS to fight back but they do not. What is that money for?

2. What you don’t know is that that’s a false deadline. While the Republicans have until 12/31 to make up their minds about whether to renew, or do something else to address soaring premiums, the deadline for the rest of us is next week. I live in CT. I have to decide by Monday.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

These are better numbers than I would have anticipated, and they're only going to get bigger.
Ok, with 15 votes to go we're very close to doubling the number of pro-impeachment representatives in congress..... AND we've managed to make 44 representatives too nervous to actually vote to table the question. Can't wait to see these names and work up the next phase of the pressure campaign.

Kommissar is pleased to announce generous allocation of two pencils per child. Thank the kommisar for his bounty!
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

Most analysts, pundits, academics, and terminally on-line Bluesky posters are high-info voters, who likely have somewhat stable policy view bc they think nonstop abt the issue. It's why they do what they do!
But most voters? ARE NOT THAT WAY.
Which means a survey is measuring SOMETHING ELSE.
