"The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
'T is not too late to seek a newer world."

We need not always mourn what is dying.

Fairly erudite. More than fairly iconoclastic.

The default position of the democratic coalition has to be this:

Everyone. Gets. To. Be. Free.

Everyone.

We do not throw members of our coalition to the fashy wolves.
We do not concede that some state-sanctioned bigotry is okay.

Nope.
None of that shit.

We. All. Get. To. Be. Free.

That's it.

Someone should start writing the same “how the left made me leave X” hot take over and over, but sub in a different city each time. See how many times you can get published before someone catches on.

That trope is catnip for heterodox opinion mills.

I get especially frustrated when local officials don't hold accountable the police departments that they hire, pay, and supervise on behalf of their citizens.

Teach the police that they work for the public.

Far too many of them refuse to accept that fundamental reality about their employment.

Yo, Los Angeles,

Our neighbors getting snatched by ICE goons are being taken here
detentionreports.com/facility/DES...
and here
detentionreports.com/facility/CAL...

Just look at the criminal/non-criminal breakdown of incarcerated persons.

This is government kidnapping. This is human trafficking.

Even *before* ICE established these indoor concentration camps, the U.S. incarcerated a higher percentage of its population than any other country in the world.

Fascism is taking root here and will only get worse unless we stop it.

Emerging from his viewing of the UNRELEASED Epstein case files at Justice Dept, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) says:

"The Dept of Justice has been in a cover-up mode for months... trying to sweep the entire thing under the rug"

Oh my gawd, Elon Musk thought that the Earth and Mars are just, like, hanging out in a line waiting for him?

He never knew that the planets, like, fucking ORBIT THE SUN? And that they're not doing so at the same pace?

Jesus, all y'all who ever wrote about Musk's "genius" need to take the damn L.
SpaceX to focus on Moon settlements instead of Mars?!? Wow, it is hard to overstate what a change -- what a climb-down -- this is for Musk. It has always been Mars for him. Full stop. Supposedly the goal behind *everything* he does.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

You don’t gotta care about sports but you do gotta care about the human condition. You gotta try to treat people different than you with dignity and patience and respect.

You gotta care about each other.

We all just got here to planet Earth, we are doomed if we don’t.

More Superbowl commercial hot takes:

1) Ring is an invasive Big-Brother-esque monster and I want that company's spying awfulness out of my neighborhood.

2) It is a fucking travesty that a for-profit tax return industry even exists. Taxes suck, but it sucks worse to have pay to pay your taxes.

My biggest takeaway from the Superbowl is that Generative AI is a plague on humanity and that the dickless tech-bro overlords trying to replace us all with algorithms are terrified that we're not on board with their master plan to destroy the human race.

The people running ICE detention centers ought to face human rights tribunals.

Those are concentration camps.

They're paid for with your tax dollars and administered by your government.

The reality is America is a huge multicultural multilingual country, not a white ethnostate, and venomous white supremacist MAGA crybabies lose it whenever that reality becomes unignorable. We should always seek to increase, not decrease, their discomfort. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
