Two queer women with a 6 year old in school today stopped to film ICE and for their bravery ICE agents murdered one before the other’s eyes. The grief in the survivor’s voice is a knife to the gut. Destroying people and their bonds is what ICE has always done.
NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do."
“We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs.

Fuck man.
I want the media to understand just how close what happened today is to where George Floyd was murdered. 0.8 miles.

Amazing to live in a country where every day you can watch Republicans gin up issue salience out of nothing but attitude and 4chan posts and a sizeable chunk of people think Democrats' only power is to vote yes or no on bills placed in front of them

Dawg this is what I mean. They don’t have to put troops in the street to rig in an election.
Mail ballots currently lean overwhelmingly Democratic and the party is likely to be disproportionately affected if thousands of votes are tossed out because of bans on grace periods for mail ballots in Ohio and elsewhere.
Ohio Bans Grace Periods for Mail Ballots, Fulfilling Trump’s Wishes
Ohio is the fourth GOP-run state this year to ban ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive after. A Supreme Court case could force that policy nationwide next year.

Yikes. Yet this stark unpopularity does not matter to them because the billionaires and fascists have taken or destroyed every institution of democratic governance: the courts, the universities, congress, the papers, the civil service, unions, elections, all of it.
And we let them.

The fascists are doing unpopular stuff like jacking up food prices, taking away health care and making colonial war because our ostensibly democratic institutions have been so thoroughly captured by the ruling class, they are betting that it doesn’t matter what we think. They think they have won.

It’s hard to argue racism doesn’t make you a dumb rube when we don’t have healthcare and these stupid motherfuckers are cheering for the deporting of nurses.

The 4yo is average height for his age, but being the smallest in our family he has a very profound napoleons complex. It comes to bear with a larger than life personality, body builders physique, and very short temper. Like he gets *so* upset at the notion that anything happened before he was born.

“Agree or disagree with the anti semitic rhetoric, you have to be in awe at the might of the Reich’s powerful blitzkrieg in Poland on this September day in 1939.”
the most braindead kind of take in these situations. we've had the unquestioned power to turn most countries into glass parking lots for most of our lifetimes. who on earth is still impressed by this?

💯 This is also one example of how hard it can be to bridge well intentioned folk instinct with (often paywalled) evidence that you might need specialized training to access and/or thoroughly understand.
I also think this is why fascists spend so much time discrediting academics and journalists.

It’s one of those things that feels intuitive but just doesn’t work as people imagine. I try to hold space for the folk knowledge ie the problem people are trying to name but experts haven’t helped them accurately diagnose. I think people say term limits when they mean less money in elections.

This is such a patently disingenuous framing man. They are not going to let him breathe.
NYT returns to character assassination. Note the framing, which implies Mandani targeted Israel exec orders when in fact, it was all orders after Adam’s was hopelessly compromised by indictment and bending a knee to the Trump admin.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches
