Abolish ICE. Prosecute ICE. Prosecute Greg Bovino. Impeach and prosecute Kristi Noem. Impeach and prosecute Pam Bondi. Impeach and prosecute Donald Trump. I want to see all of these fuckers tried for human rights violations in The Hague. Oh and by the way, WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

The MAGA guys on X who defend the executions of Renee Good and Alex Pretti would do that with mass murder on a scale you can’t even imagine. They are beyond reason or empathy. Completely brain poisoned, tribal fiends.

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy
Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

If this is what they do when they're out on the street with people pointing cameras at them, what do you think is happening inside the ICE prison camps that they keep denying Members of Congress access to?

Remember that literally every single one of the billionaire freaks behind generative AI has very publicly aligned themselves with trump and his policies
Their CEO's are in and out of the oval office for photo ops, they're donating mountains of money to him, they're literally getting military titles

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Boycott Hilton. Boycott Target. Boycott any local establishment or major corporation that serves ICE agents. Primary any Democrat that votes to continue funding this American Gestapo. Call your reps. Protest. Donate to legal orgs doing work on the ground in Minnesota. All hands on deck.

Excellent thread explaining the how/why of where we find ourselves. Please read the whole thing. Really cogent insights.
🧵 @jburnmurdoch.ft.com is spot on about the conditions in his FT piece. Liberal democracy held it together thanks to growth, good demographics, and the promise of a better future. Those days are gone, and that’s the "why" behind the erosion. However...
Democratic politicians have, though, pursued growth in GDP at the expense of other values. One response to @jburnmurdoch.ft.com pessimistic scenario is refocus on those values, combined with egalitarianism, sufficiency and quality of life. Not "it's the economy, stupid" but "it's the the society"

I went on a foreign exchange summer school program to Germany when I was at university in the 90s. I was in a bar in Köln talking with a mohawked punk guy who was about my age. At one point, he told me that his grandfather had been in the SS. 🧵

Sad news: the owner who was going to surrender wee Marvel got cold feet and decided to keep her. So I won't be getting a new doggo after all. I'm disappointed, but I feel like what's for me won't go by me. This just wasn't the one for me. 😢
