and I feel like we were steadily heading in that direction for a half century (as i type on a shard of glass) and then this dude showed up, and a few other dudes like him, and now we’re in the mirror universe where people are trying to bring back slaves.

I know it's been said elsewhere, but if Aaron Rodgers' final NFL play is a pick-6 in a playoff loss, I may die of schadenfreude

Reminder that aside from asking if you're being detained or identifying yourself in a stop and ID state, the only thing you should EVER say to law enforcement in the US is
I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT.
And then SHUT UP.

If he wants to declare martial law, he will. It won't be based on reality. I don't know why some people continue to say: "be peaceful or he'll invoke martial law." Are you all living in this country in 2026???? Haven't you seen them make things up out of whole cloth???? Are you 10 years old?

Too many people are trying to differentiate between ICE and police.
I will hold your hand as I say this:
Police in the US treat marginalized people the way ICE treats everyone. They're far more similar than you want to admit.
Defunding the police and abolishing ICE are the same fight.

ICE is now going door to door in Minneapolis/St. Paul and there is footage where they forcefully entered someone's home. THIS IS HORRIFIC. DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE YOU ARE HOME.

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

“Someone at the puppy-kicking factory killed a protester!”
“That’s outrageous. We need to train the puppy-kickers.”
“Train them in what?”
“You know. Professionalism. More humane methods of kicking.”
“More humane…Shouldn’t we stop kicking puppies?”
“Come on, don’t be an extremist.”

Chris Murphy: "The amount of training that's given to an ICE officer has been cut in half by this administration. The number of days of training they get are 47. You know why they get 47 days? As an homage to the vanity of POTUS. No wonder the number of violent incidents are going through the roof."

It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.
