We don’t need a celebration we need to abolish ICE and get justice for those murdered and for those whose rights have been violated and return our neighbors. Reminder the Roman Colosseum was a propaganda machine that enforced hierarchy and was a distraction from living standards. Stay focused MPLS.

Notice though that during the most watched event of the year so far, there was no mention of marijuana - it was unvetted betting odds, gambling promotions, and gambling services.
I’d be more concerned that America has a gambling problem first, especially in this economy.

Makary: "We've seen a dramatic increase in teens vaping with THC -- that's marijuana -- in the last administration, in the 4 years prior to us coming into office. So we are taking this very seriously ... the marijuana today is not the marijuana of hippies ... it is a controlled substance."

my political goals include things like abolishing ICE, crushing american fascism, and jailing these corrupt and evil people who have caused so much pain and suffering. i only care about supporting democrats to the extent i believe their rhetoric or candidates will bring those goals closer.

We will never be able to have an honest discussion of immigration until we understand that citizenship and non-citizenship are not moral or ontological qualities, but legal fictions created by the state to codify state notions of belonging.
In other words, we all need to read a lot more Arendt.

This line that the right-wing is committing itself to - ICE is nothing like the Gestapo, because Jews were European citizens and immigrants today are not - is so misleading. Jews were stripped of citizenship under Reich Laws, just as immigrants today are having legal status arbitrarily rescinded.

This worthless mother fucker spent yesterday arresting hundreds of clergy as they were singing Bible verses
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

"Whose rebellion is valued? Who is allowed to be heroic through defiance?"
Defiance is only valorized when it serves to perpetuate hegemonic white supremacy. Agitation is only ever seen as heroic when it serves the oppressor.

A problem with “papers please” societies is that when the masked, armed man asks for your papers he can just say they are faked.
Or he can walk off with them and then a different armed, masked man asks you for your papers.

Roberts asks his first question: whether Hartnett disagrees with the distinction between boys and girls, or whether they want a different definition of girls.
That... totally gives away Roberts position, because that is a false fucking choice.

The US dismantling international law, cooperation, and the rules based order is often framed as being dismantled overnight, but as anyone in the Global South can tell you, the so called rules based order was always about the US creating the rules, and the rest of the world having to follow.

Allowing our neighbors to be evicted because ICE has made it impossible for them to pay rent is unacceptable. Minneapolis needs an immediate eviction moratorium to keep people in their homes.
