listening to some of their victims tonight made me even more certain that the single best thing any of us can do to bring about justice for DHS is make sure that in three years everybody you know is ready to demand nuremburg type stuff.

All I’m asking is for the millionaires in the Senate to show the same courage in standing up to fascism that regular people are showing in streets every day.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

I actually think what ICE is doing under Trump 2.0 is shaping up to be a world-historic campaign of human rights violations in an advanced industrialized ~democracy
I’m not sure I have many modern parallels. Japanese internment? Treatment of French-Algerians in the Algerian war? Those were wartime.

Yes and yet several European countries are embracing a far-right worldview that would burn these policies to the ground, so let’s be not be smug or complacent here - particularly as Mamdani‘s pro-immigration stance is radical by European standards.
Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’ -- Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I knew that Mamdani had it; he had the people and did the work, and has been the clearest and most lucid in rejecting the untenable current state of things. But the vile, bigoted shit against him was so constant, and I am conditioned to that working better than I want. This feels like an exorcism.

There is no economic rationality to the demands for the mass removal of refugees. it is a plan to change the ethnic composition of the country and remove the other for reasons of bigoted aesthetics to the detriment of all.

The efforts to mass deport Syrians is an attack on the well being of all Germans.
Ohne migrantische Ärztinnen und Pfleger wäre das Gesundheitswesen längst kollabiert. Engpässe entstehen primär durch Fachkräftemangel und Unterfinanzierung- nicht durch migrantische Patientinnen. Wer Gruppen nach Arzt-Ratios bewertet, will spalten, nicht verstehen.

Very revealing that several Germans have got in touch to say that their chancellor’s comments about migrants were not directed at me. First of all, that would imply I shouldn’t care. Secondly, to imply that non-white races are inherently more likely to commit crime is an attack on *all* migrants.

i think i would honestly find this whole discourse more tolerable if people simply said what they were actually saying, which is that they think the Democratic Party is too associated with femininity (and secondarily, with black people) and that they want to correct this

To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?
