if you’re not willing to be criticized, I don’t really have any interest in having a dialogue with you, and especially not with working with you

if AOC is too right-wing for you to support, you do not believe in electoral politics and should just be honest about that
Someone who won’t vote for AOC because she’s insufficiently left for them is someone whose vote we will never get and they should be treated as such. Also they only exist online

The fact that this is even being debated in this setting is the problem.
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

This has zip to do with criminality.
"Using social media to enhance general 'operational awareness' and for investigating targets in a criminal, civil, or administrative context"
Noseying around for "administrative" violations? They want to learn personal stuff to make up lies about. That's all.

Remember when an Irish politician tried to honor JD Vance by having a genealogist research Vance's Irish ancestors only to discover he didn't have any, and it turns out Barack O'bama is more Irish than JD Vance
its weird how they all ideologically align with Roman and British empire but also identify with a kind of mythic Scottish and Irish anticolonial struggle in consolidating their whiteness

This is from a larger thread I did about the oligarchs that influence our state government 9 months ago. Sabey corp is behind a lot of the data center BS. They also plan on leasing one of their buildings to ICE so they can expand the concentration camp in Tacoma. bsky.app/profile/casc...
Now imagine that, real estate company that now builds data centers IN WASHINGTON STATE, and a farming “operation”. I wonder what other LLC’s these people have. And why would they donate to Trump? 🙃

Abolish ICE. Nothing less counts for anything. ICE exists to serve as the shock troops of autocracy. All the personnel signed up to do precisely that. Nothing less than abolition will serve to avert catastrophe.

This is a first: I’m trying to get federal contracts from a county in California and they’re claiming they need the federal govts permission to fulfill my records request. They lawyer cited The Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution. Article VI, Clause 2 and Comity doctrine. Huh?
