If and when America finds a way out of authoritarianism, not only will ICE have to be abolished: All these people will need to be held accountable in a court of law for the monstrosities they are committing - those who are ordering them as well as those who are carrying them out.

Every single one.

Rep Pramila Jayapal: "Remember the militarized raid on a Chicago apartment building in the middle of the night where agents rappelled from helicopters and zip-tied sobbing children? It has resulted in ZERO criminal charges two months later.
The cruelty, chaos, and fear are the point."

This convicted thug brought more than 400 tons of cocaine into the US.

That vastly exceeds the annual seizures by individual countries or even large-scale international ops.

The record crop in Colombia alone was estimated to be enough to make about 1,500 tons of cocaine annually.

"The agreement places no restrictions on our transgender community."

Except whether they can play sports, where they can use the bathroom or locker room, what kind of housing they can live in, and what healthcare they can receive.

Stephen Miller is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. His great-grandparents inhabited the Pale of Settlement (western Russia where Jews were allowed to live) and escaped Russian pogroms and the Holocaust. All the same racist, xenophobic, ignorant things he is saying were said about his own family.

If you needed any further proof that the anti-DEI stance = racism.

If you're not white, they simply do not care.

This would be a war crime even if there were an actual war and these people were actual combatants, which there isn't and they weren't.

It's unquestionably an unlawful homicide under any form of law you wish to apply: military or civilian, domestic or international, federal or state. ...

Your periodic reminder that Stephen Miller’s family came to this country seeking asylum from Russian pogroms. He quite literally owes his existence to America’s benevolence toward immigrants.

There is an unfathomably hot corner of hell specifically reserved for this man.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Probably not ideal to publish a long piece on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving… Would you help me spread the word?

I wrote about some persistent myths regarding what’s happening in American society and politics we desperately need to discard:
The Myth of a Rightward Realignment

Let’s discard some stubborn misconceptions about Trump’s support and what happened in the 2024 election that are obscuring our understanding of a profound de-alignment of the established order.

In this piece, I tackle three myths / building blocks of the misleading “realignment” narrative: The idea that U.S. society moved right in accordance with the broader outlines of Trumpism’s vision; that Trump is the tribune of the working class; that he is building a stable multiracial coalition.

If and when Trump leaves the scene, the country will still face a daunting task: Who can channel the disruptive political energies of a society in which the established institutions have lost the people’s trust into a (small-d) democratic direction?

1. It would appear that in recent reporting, the BBC is now using the phrase "biological male who identifies as a woman" when they mean to talk about a transgender woman.

This is an incredibly demeaning way to talk about transgender women in news pieces.

BBC Now Calling Trans Women 'Biological Males Who Identify As Women'
These stories come in the aftermath of allegations that a small but mighty cabal of “LGBT reporters” had somehow seized control of the BBC and “censored” right-wing views.

🧵Trump’s State Department has declared abortion, DEI, and LGBTQ+ rights “human rights violations”

“Countries ensuring their citizens have human rights are infringing human rights.”

This is the new guidance sent to every embassy and consulate.

The classic paradox of white supremacy.
US says countries with DEI policies as infringing human rights
US officials say the rules will stop "destructive ideologies" but others argue it is redefining human rights principles for Trump's goals.

This is the Trump doctrine in a nutshell:

Oppression is liberty.
Equality is tyranny.
Human rights are whatever Trump says they are.

It is fanaticism wrapped in the American flag, and Trump is now imposing it on the entire world.
