i really hate the notion that has taken hold that bush is not responsible for the shit bush did as president. yes, cheney was his advisor and wingman and his soul is soaked with the blood of iraqis and americans, but at the end of the day bush was the decider.

In the spirit of “no one knows what will work” and “try a diversity of tactics,” ICE hasn’t shown up at Chicago’s immigration court since June 16.
It's been another quiet morning at Chicago's immigration court. We have not seen any feds on the premises. Activists are handing out flyers and chalking the sidewalks.
ICE hasn't returned to attempt any arrests since autonomous protesters established a constant presence here last Monday.

Tom Homan says the National Guard might be deployed — and I’m telling you, he wants violence.
They’re baiting us to react so they can escalate.
Rule #1: Never protest at night. That’s when the worst happens—under cover of darkness.

Exactly. It's the expectation that poor people need to earn the right to live in society through contribution while the rich just skate by on their untaxed generational wealth.
The primary resource of a community IS people. So treating a poor person who has children like a burden on society is some goofy ass eugenics shit.

This is the whole of his tarrif plan, nicely summarized.
Again: he is not going to back down from tariffs because the imports collapse is an explicitly good thing to him. It’s the whole goal of the policy.
He sees the number of containers going to zero and thinks *that is a success* because it means we’re not buying things from those foreigners anymore.
