I’ve spent years of my life trying to explain to people that anti-trans conservatism naturally flows from their belief that children in the American nuclear family are not individuals with autonomy, but instead property of the parents and state, and this guy just… tweeted it out

What doesn't get addressed enough on the left (because most of it is statist, and directly or indirectly, nationalist), is that fascism is the logical outcome of the modern nation-state and political order, because of its inherent contradictions which it can't transcend.

Pat Parenteau is a legend and American treasure. Listen to him.
“I don't see any plan, any strategy, any end game,” says Pat Parenteau, a professor of environmental law at the University of Vermont. “I don't see anything from this administration, just fuck everything up as much as you can. You can print that.”
Sounds accurate to me.

And here’s the absurdity of calling the police on ICE. You’re calling their backup.
New reporting shows local police are tapping school security cameras and license-plate reader systems to assist federal immigration enforcement, raising serious concerns about student privacy and surveillance.

The man who was killed last night wasn't the first Black man killed by government forces in DC since the government occupation of DC. He's like the 6th or 7th. If you're Black, you know that's how it is, no one makes a fuss over our murders & they're not big news.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.
