When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

The "pronoun thing" is fucking dead simple:
Person A: tells you what their pronouns are
Person B: refers to them by those pronouns
Sometimes you fuck up, especially when you knew Person A before they told you their pronouns. Okay.

Compromise w Trump regime is useless. There is no reward for cooperation, no fruitful compromise. They do not want anything save your subjugation. They want ultimate power & wealth forever. Anything they pretend to be interested in is incidental. There is no upside to anything other than resistance.

I'm white, CIS male, born in 1973 in North Dakota. We (midwestern white males) are not a victimized group. How can you be so rich, so fortunate, and such a fucking whiny baby?
Only in America could a white man with a current net worth of $2 billion see himself as part of a victimized group. 🤦♂️

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Mayor Bass: This morning, it was frightening in Los Angeles to see tanks essentially rolling into MacArthur Park.
It was an egregious show of force. I have no idea what their purpose was. I don’t even think they detained anyone.
Los Angeles was peaceful before June 5. We need to go back to that.

Why don't the three liberal justices simply devour the other six.

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.
In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.
And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

People on this app get really angry every time I point out that social media manipulation is a real phenomenon that we are all stewing in and that’s having real world consequences and I’m sure part of that is engagement farmers who do that manipulation not liking people talking about it

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.
