I'm cool jumping out of perfectly good airplanes but scared to climb ladders around the house. Makes perfect sense.

Here's what I expect from Democrats. Their goal is to win big in the midterms. Do some tepid sanctioning of the Trump regime. Then hopefully win the presidency in 28. They want to reinforce that the status quo still works. They don't want to acknowledge the institutions are broken.
Democrats are still committed to letting this regime shift blame. If they ever find a suitable scapegoat, we'll be back where we started.

I'm getting pissed off over the expectations projected onto Obama over the folks currently in elected positions. Give them this energy. Or ask yourself why you aren't insisting Bush or Biden "do something".

Target in Minneapolis has pulled Hispanic employees off of pick-up order duty after ICE arrested two US citizen Hispanic employees while on the job.
“I’m literally a U.S. citizen!” one shouted as they escorted him into a van.

Because it shouldn't have taken this long to realize you were supporting an adjudicated rapist, 34-count felon who is also a fascist, authoritarian who would prefer you not exist than disagree w/ him politically. You don't get credit for finally coming around to what should've been common sense.

I talk to MAGA voters a lot. They are open and honest about supporting mass deportation. They think it's a good thing, and they support the mission of ICE.
The language they use to justify it and to excuse the horrors, is *exactly* the same language that centrist Dems use to justify US policing.

When was the last time you talked to a Trump supporter about how happy they are about all this? I experienced this the other day, and the advantage they have is how morbidly stunning their alternative reality is. They hate being called Nazis, yet refuse to see why violent terror forces are wrong.

Whenever you're accused of being "Un-American," remember:

The KKK said "America First" meant "love of country"
J. Edgar Hoover said MLK was "motivated by hate for America"

ICE detained Purple Heart veteran William Vermie for hours at the Whipple Federal Building.
He says he’s speaking out because he’s white, he has privilege and if he doesn’t use it to stand up for others, who will?
That is what solidarity looks like.
