"I'm not scared of a germ... I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats."
This is a direct quote from the secretary of Health and Human Services. I lack words to describe how unhinged it is to have this person dictating healthcare policy for 350 million people.

They aren't going to stop and they aren't going to stop lying until we stop them. Get to know your neighbors, do mutual aid projects. Carry a whistle and do not under any circumstances shut up.

The only thing more powerful than hate is love.

yes jeremy carl is a white nationalist, he wrote a whole book about it. he also trains sheriffs.
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.

On my flight today, a chatty lady said, “I can’t go to New York with all that’s going on over there.” And I said, “What? Free child care?” And she stopped talking to me.

We turned our neighborhoods into surveillance panopticons to help Amazon get a foothold in thousands of law enforcement agencies, chiefly because it wanted to cut its annual shrinkage from package theft by a few percentage points.

Cops lie. I am hoping for the best, but EMTs don't cover patients heads with sheets for nothing. I personally don't know of a medically necessary reason to do so. If I'm hurt, I would want access to air.
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

please do all your planning for this year with the thought in mind that ICE has bought a billion dollars in warehouses to use as concentration camps and they probably don’t intend to leave them empty

Meanwhile, we’re spending as much on policing as ever, the police are killing as many people as ever, “crime” was successfully used to normalize military occupation of US cities, and despite these trends being longstanding, the Trump admin is now touting these numbers to argue for more policing.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.
