The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

The federal government is executing American citizens in the middle of the street for exercising their constitutional right to freedom of speech.
This is tyranny. No free people can accept this kind of government. We need to bring an end to the Trump regime.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Americans are realizing that unfettered federal power to detain and arrest is a very dangerous thing. I learned that lesson as a child when they put us into internment camps just for looking like the enemy. Don’t go further down this road.

One thing I will say, having knocked on thousands of doors in my lifetime, (most recently ~1000 for Zohran), it is very, very consistent that a single conversation massively increases the chances of a person connecting with a campaign & voting if they're a person who is not engaged with politics.
interesting that a single face-to-face contact turned this nonvoter into a voter

To be politically conscious from 2000-2009, and more specifically from 2001-2005, was to have your brain stamped with a feverish Curse of Knowing. So when you see shit like this, all you can think is “Dick Cheney insisting on links between Al Qaeda and Saddam”. You never forget the scent.
