Anyone else bothered by the term "troops" do describe ICE & CBP goons?
Q: The criticism is about ICE tactics against ordinary citizens who are not sex offenders. What do you say to that?
BOVINO: It's anarchists that actually cause ma & pa America to sometimes be near or involved in very tense situations. The only people dialing dow rhetoric is federal law enforcement

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE LOS ANGELES CHAPTER‼️
Hello all! We are formally announcing that our chapter of General Strike, has voted to endorse & support the strike happening in Minneapolis on January 23rd. We ask if you can, please strike and if not in a position to do so at this time, do not shop. Let us know if you have any questions 💪

This economist gets it. We have to inflict economic violence on the billionaires to get the response we need. Congress does not represent the people, and inflicting economic harm on us would be like shooting the hostages.
We can help with targeted #Boycotting and #GeneralStrike.

During clashes between protesters & right-wingers Saturday, we captured Minneapolis cops rushing in to retrieve a man—who'd framed himself as an ICE protester—and placing him in their truck. Earlier that day, he was wearing a Border Patrol hat. FULL VIDEO⬇️

Most developed nations work to benefit the wealthy by destabilizing the global south, demonizing their cultures, and sacrificing the poor in resource conquests.
The military industrial complex and prison industrial complex are just new appendages on an old capital machine.

You can either deny reality or fix it, Trump is a reflection of your country as it has always been. It's not enough to reject or oust his regime, but also, have a serious reflection as a nation of how you actually got here, allowed corruption & impunity to exist openly for so long, and change it.

Hot, but accurate take:
Calling someone a "bot" or inferring that they are an AI just because they demonstrate an understanding of Data Science principles is in fact dehumanizing rhetoric, and should be treated as such unless the subject is actually AI.

I expect to see this kind of "reception" of Trump's envoys more frequently over the coming months.
UPDATE: Looks like Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry won’t have to worry about juggling his dual role as Trump’s envoy to Greenland — now that they just uninvited him from their dog sled race 🫤🤷🏼

As a person that has experienced a large amount of trauma in my youth, I tend to be very precise when communicating, especially over text.
It is unfortunate that so many people choose to look for "gotchas" in what I say when I leave concepts open for elaboration, by twisting my words.

Q:If Greenland allows American military bases, then why does Trump want control of Greenland?
A: It's obviously not about defense. It's about having a territory where his regime controls the laws without resistance, environmental laws, labor rights, civil rights, etc. All are up to highest bidder.

Just did a grocery drop-off at a donation site and the parking lot was absolutely jammed with people bringing food. There was a line of cars out of the parking lot, plus people parking in the neighborhood and walking food over. What an amazing community Minneapolis ❤️

He's pandering to the centrists and the alt right. The classic corporate dem failing. I can't decide which tragedy is worse, that he would do this, or that many people will still support his candidacy with 0 critical analysis.
Pandering.
He is pandering to go national.

Yes this. There has been a systematic monetization, consolidation, and undermining of the media outlets that western culture relied on and trusted. This, in addition to the ideological entrenchment of social media algorithms, has set the wealthy up for success in the #ClassWar.
Think about who pays their salaries. They like their cushy jobs in front of the camera, so they choose to bow and scrape for the regime. It's corporate media working overtime for the clampdown, and it's been this way for a long ass time.
