Just a basic summary of my views: I am a liberal antifascist. I believe in a large regulatory state and free markets and open borders. Immigration is the best thing that can happen to a country. The greatest threat to freedom is large individual fortunes. The solution is taxation. UBI. Free college.

We need Nuremberg trials.
The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should

Elite impunity must be treated with utter mercilessness if we're going to have a living world for our own children and grandchildren.
An endless theme of my millennial life is perpetual bailouts for irresponsible and reckless corporations.
Dude who just got the SV Bank bailout two years ago is back banging the cup. It’s a tell.

This is identical to Russia invading Ukraine. Illegally invading a country for their resources and likely killing thousands—if not more—is immoral and should not be supported by anyone with any shred of moral conscience.

I think Democrats should double down on trans rights now. It's obvious that most voters don't care about it so you might as well stick with your principles and goad Republicans into focusing on it at the expense of everything else so they're the ones who look like freaks.

Who's going to get Massie to throw the House to Jeffries?
Trump's dangerous rhetoric makes us all less safe. His actions today must be condemned at all levels of leadership, and he must be impeached.

It does feel increasingly like the winning play for Democrats in all upcoming elections will be to promise to end secret police kidnappings and crack down hard on the government corruption that is rampant and undisguised in the current administration.

This is a good argument for abolishing the Department of Homeland Security and replacing it with a number of smaller, independent agencies; or another umbrella organization without such a fascistic name.
