In the 5 months since I wrote this, things have only gotten worse, with adults stripped of their healthcare at a moment's notice, universities firing teachers & banning the mere mention of trans people, & Democrats helping pass further bans and the first discrimination & segregation laws since 1996.
It's just a sports ban.
It's just a bathroom ban.
It's just a healthcare for kids ban.
It's just a military service ban.
It's just a federal jobs ban.
It's just a university housing ban.
It's just a passport & visa ban.
It's just one Constitutional right.
It's just your status as free citizens.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.
Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Anyone who is part of the federal government who is not doing everything in their power to stop this administration, regardless of the assumed cost to normalcy or career, is a coward and a collaborator.

Most of this year's ICE budget comes from last year's reconciliation bill. House Democratic leaders discouraged its members from offering amendments eliminating that funding. Didn't want the party to come across as anti-ICE.

There is no rebuilding the illusion of a shared vision of America from this. The racist rot that was always at the heart of Reagan’s shining city on a hill, feeding in the sewers for decades, has burst forth for all to see. All we can do is kill it with fire, & build something better in the wreckage
We are dealing with a Western Christian supremacist movement willing to see millions die in the name of racial purity. This is William Wolfe. A year ago he was invited with fourteen other faith leaders to the WH. Today he is praising ICE for killing peaceful observers. This is Christian fascism.

No amount of training could have stopped that trigger being pulled. This is a moral sickness. This agency is a rot and it need to be done away with.

Anyone not working on that project is 100% not your ally regardless of where they claim to be on the political spectrum.

At a certain point my politics are “if we’re going to do authoritarianism either way how about we do the kind that doesn’t do this.”

For me it was a block I guess! I thought Ken was a much more engaged and open minded dude than that lol.
I agree with your larger, more important point in this thread.

I also agree that we should strive to move social media discourse in this direction, but it does seem like you’re pretty closed to any discussion that isn’t in agreement with you. At that point why even leave replies/quotes on?

Every time you see these losers interact with someone it’s clear they’re idiots who have washed out of every authority position they’ve ever held. It’s clear this is their last ride to feel like they’re anything more than bumpkins with no value to society.
I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

I don’t think the average American understands how deeply No Child Left Behind harmed (and continues to harm) a generation of people.

No sympathy whatsoever for fascist thugs, but they were absolutely manufactured to be this way. This was always a potential direction for the conservative project.

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power

- file impeachment articles every day in the House

- withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee

- be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable
