They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale.

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.
It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

Video on social media shows an immigration agent pulling a gun in Little Village and holding it to the side — which is not an appropriate or safe way to hold a gun. (Among other issues.)

The regime doesn't need justification for "martial law," or invoking the Insurrection anymore than they needed justification for demolishing the East wing.
What they DO need is time to make the transition feel gradual and inevitable and so far they have as much of it as they want.

It'll take time to fully execute, but they're setting most of us for subsistence in a company town and prison labor.
If things continue at our current trajectory we will fondly recall the exploitive gig economy.

The farther I get from my divorce, the less I feel the need to cling to the facts of the case. I fought so hard to be seen as a full human with my own valid views backed by reading and science. I argued for so long with a man so sure of himself that I ended up questioning my sanity.

As long as NYT is asking “Did women ruin the workplace” can they also ask:
•Did men ruin safe workplaces?
•Did men ruin domestic safety?
•Did men ruin public safety?
•Did men ruin global peace?
Or is a clear “YES” to all these questions just too difficult for fragile men to accept—so NYT avoids it?🤔

And they are grappling with what scholars call "staggered collapse." This is where a storm destroys a whole region and FEMA doesn't exist to rebuild it. It's what happen when women of color are driven out of the economy in drove through DOGE cuts. Or when all of the rural hospitals close in a state.

Indeed, we can stop pandering to the white middle class vote. Seriously. Take care of the marginalized, and everyone benefits.
Without people of color, Spanberger, Shirrill, Mamdani and others wouldn't win with their huge margins.

There’s no reason ever again for any Democrat to suggest moderating on trans rights. There was never a moral reason but now there’s no political reason either.
