The whole lot of them spent Jan. 6th lying about what happened 5 years ago. Why should anyone expect them to start telling the truth on January 7th?

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

I always frame citational practice as relational:
Whose ideas do I want to inherit and carry forward?
Whose/which ideas am I responsible to/for?
Which thinkers have offered me intellectual, emotional, spiritual guidance?
Who are my ontoepistemological ancestors?

Fascinating.
Root question is, what kind of intellectual and social practice is citation? What work does it do for us?

I’m begging you to stop with the twins separated at birth who miraculously run into each other later in life stories.

It is a played out trope that perpetuates harmful stereotypes about orphans, adoptees, and fosterees.
It is also lazy writing.

The Republicans timed the Medicaid cuts to hit right after the 2026 midterms so that the idiot masses will blame the Democrats after they take back the House.

The fiscal conservatives in the GOP just added $4 trillion to the deficit to give the wealthiest people on earth a tax cut. The pro-family party just took healthcare away from 17 million Americans to give ICE a bigger budget than Brazil’s military. The single most inhumane bill ever passed.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers.
That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.
