It is helpful and instructive to be reminded that the main grievance many arch-Dems have with today's ICE is its tone. Their outrage is that white liberals can no longer sleep through no-knock raids.

If we want to abolish ICE and end the violence of the border, our fight is bigger than Trump's GOP.
Hillary Clinton: "More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or this first year of Trump's second term."

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message:

- the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next
- a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9
Romance alert: Trump's reckless tariffs have Valentine’s Day costs up across the board:

Roses 🌹16.6%
Chocolates🍫 18.7%
Ribeye 🥩 25.4%
Restaurant meals 🍽️ 4.9%

the confirmation of contemporary transphobia as a political movement has been the brainchild of a boys club made up of some of the most disgusting monsters in recent memory to explicitly keep trans women disenfranchised so as to subjugate and exploit us for their own sexual gain is like

a lot, dawg

note that it’s not about the gun owner’s whiteness per se, but what the far right believes he’s allowed to do with that whiteness.

being terrified of POC and willing to kill them/their allies is fine, acquittable. being an ally peacefully protecting POC/their allies is not fine, murderable
The people who'll tell you today's murder victim in Minnesota shouldn't have turned up to a protest carrying a gun are the same people who said Kyle Rittenhouse was perfectly entitled to do the same thing.

This makes sense, because ceding that fascists are right about crime and immigration but off slightly on methodology has historically been super effective.
excuse me?

EXCUSE ME???

I haven't had a Magic card get stuck in my head like this in a long while. Help me obsess.

Thinking a microgame like Dandan, centered on this guy with lots of life as resource/sac for value cards. Burn your own wick to try and extinguish the opponent's first. Thoughts?

He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them.

Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.
The camp is to filter out workers for Trumps new Slavery policy where he sells them to businesses.
He says so in this video

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital.

"Republicans' cruel crusade against trans kids" IS "ripping healthcare away." This not a diversion from the issue, it's the whole issue.

Senselessly cruel for the GOP to be so fixated on darkening the future for trans kids, and so needlessly stupid that the Dems are this useless to stop them.

The importance of rejecting the right's attempts to frame this. It's not about a picture of a burning car, flag, or whatever else they'll bring up.

This is about rejecting a military dictatorship. The marines are occupying LA to assist ICE in disappearing people. You should hate that out loud.
Brand-new polling from YouGov out this AM finds Trump's actions re: LA underwater. Double-digit disapproval on sending in Marines.

This should be a reality check for those people arguing the protests inherently help Trump bc his immigration approval # is positive.

If you play Magic and/or buy cards online, take a quick sec and support the workers who make that possible. Zhuzh up the default script if you can, too - it helps to make it less likely to be screened.

Solidarity with the workers of TCGunion - down with these tech oligarch freaks.

Evil fucking country.

The GOP are queer exterminationists. Dems drift between abetting and accelerating them, so married to gerontocracy that a margin-swinging three reps have literally died in office this term.

Building power outside of electoralism is an existential struggle.
