The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned
Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

Those who need to read this probably won’t. But as someone who could smell Trump’s fascism long before 2016, this is a cathartic piece.

What do I want Democrats to do? If they can't call for the total abolition of ICE and the full prosecution of all its employees for crimes against humanity, what I want them to do is resign or retire.

I wasted so much time trying to think through their strategy. They don't fucking have one, they are just rage-filled husks stomping on everyone else's toys.
All they know how to do is break shit.
And they are coming for even the rich kids' toys now and that is not gonna fly

What if those ICE agents simply let her go?
If they had succeeded in stopping her and detaining her, what public good would they have accomplished?
Instead, they shouted contradictory commands and escalated. For what?

Authorities *should* be afraid to escalate.
Authorities *should* hesitate in crucial moments.
Authorities *should* be in more danger than civilians.
If they don't want to be in more danger than civilians, they need to see if the Post Office is hiring.

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands.

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

Misinterpreting the most vulnerable and self-defensive attempt to survive as a hostile act? Who do you think you are, a cop?
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

Yeah, one of the many nightmare scenarios facing us is that a badly led and mostly destroyed intelligence infrastructure fails to prevent a major terrorist attack and that attack is then used as justification to speed up the fascism.
I do in fact stay awake at night sometimes thinking about how the MAGA ghouls are destroying actually-essential counterterrorism efforts in favor of directing resources towards brutalizing elderly taco truck workers
NEW: Oregon could lose nearly $18 million worth of terrorism prevention and emergency funding.
In the past, the money has paid for bomb detectors, law enforcement training and barriers that prevent cars from plowing into crowds.

The thing where conservatives think they should be able to go to college to teach experts instead of to learn from them shows how coddled they have been by society. We need to stop disrespecting them by shielding them with accommodation; let’s respect their beliefs by releasing them to the effects.

“Jewish space lasers” ALONE should disqualify her as a Dem
I refuse to believe politicians are forgetting how rancid MTG is. Sure we can have a big tent but we do not need to welcome someone like her. Please everyone get a fucking hold of yourselves.

Tonight should remind everyone: As destructive and dangerous as Trump is, he's a trust fund kid who inherited a fortune and went bankrupt six times. He's going to crash and burn. A new generation of strong bold leaders will rise from the ashes. Tonight is only the beginning if we work for it.

Starting to think the best way to address MAGA is to also make shit up. “I can’t address Chip Roy’s comments because I can’t see him; like all Republicans and their tiny king, Jesus F. Maloney, he exists on a microscopic plane undetectable to human eyes. They murdered Gandhi for saying as much.”
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."
