I spent a lot of my early social media experience debating politics.
That shit is exhausting. Because it inevitably becomes debating your humanity to folks who will never acknowledge it.
So I'm not gonna do that here. I'm just here for things and people that bring me joy.

The implication here isn't that ICE is wrong, it's that they're killing the wrong people. They're fine when they kill black folks. But when they start killing folks that look like them it's too much.
White people are useless.

Really worth watching this interview with a bystander who witnessed the ICE shooting in Minneapolis: "I'm pretty right-leaning. But seeing this, this is not how we're supposed to be doing things in America.”

John Roberts argued that since America had elected one black president the Voting Rights Act did its job and didn't need federal oversight anymore.

If the Supreme Court weakens Voting Rights Act protections against racial discrimination in redistricting, it could usher in the largest-ever drop in representation by Black members of Congress. n.pr/49tevoK

Bill Kristol was fine with police murdering black people like Breonna Taylor and Rekia Boyd, he was fine with deportations under Bush, he was fine with "the war on terror"
He is one of the architects of this incarnation of white supremacy masquerading as conservative politics.
FUCK Bill Kristol.

America's original sin, going back to the end of the Civil War, is its inability to hold white people accountable for, literally, anything, for fear o f alienating other white people.
It's been five years since Trump tried to overthrow the Constitution.
What unfolded over the five years that followed will be remembered as one of the greatest failures of American institutions in our history.

NEW #INSANITYCHECK episode. Apparently taking off for the holidays was a bad idea. Between kidnapping a foreign leader to Flock Safety's CEO taking no responsibility for the surveillance state he's creating everything is horrible. OH and pay day loans are back and worse than ever
