GOP/DHS/BP/ICE delenda est.
exactly this. do you correctly view MAGA as an evil force that jerks off over murdering women and flash banging babies, which must be crushed and destroyed forever? Or are you still clinging to a dangerously naive delusion that these creatures can be won over with the Power of Debate?
the dividing line amongst democrats is basically do you view republicans as existential threats to the country or do you view them as sparring partners.

“The entire operation is becoming slower and more resource-intensive. There is good reason to believe that more immigrants are with their families tonight because of ICE Watch.”
For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

Me to same owl handler: "Owls are super wise, right? They read loads of highbrow Russian literature and stuff, don't they?"
Owl handler: "No, they actually have very tiny brains, due to the hugeness of their eyes. In reality they are one of the thickest animals you could ever meet."

Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.

It's absolutely insane, and so is the rotten old man.
All of this -- the domestic violence, the international looting & threats of war, the fracturing of health & science, the self serving attacks on the federal reserve, the arrests of US citizens, the pollution of our air & water -- all of this in deference to an old man who won't live 10 more years.

When a TV guest goes the predictable route of claiming they're "paid protestors," hosts must immediately ask if they have any proof.
When they sputter that they're guessing, ask if *they* were paid to come on TV and lie about it.
No? You're offended by that? Gosh, I'm just guessing here like you.

"You're seeing a lot of paid protesters" -- Rep. Mike Haridopolos's attempt to defend ICE's tactics in Minneapolis during a CNN panel discussion this morning did not go well. Bad used car salesman vibes.

Worried about the midterms? Read this insightful thread.
the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

Remember that the assertion that the US must grab Greenland before China and Russia do is a lie, and so is the argument about security. It's about delusional grasping imperial greed.
