There is a difference between people who see the goal as electing Democratic politicians and people who see the goal as trying to stop the violence against our neighbors and friends.
There is, we hope, significant overlap between the two goals.

I need people who were wrong about everything to actually look back and recognize that there was a reason they were wrong and maybe they need to update their understanding of the world.
Otherwise they don't really think they were wrong.

I am the type of person who is going to pour far more hours of research into writing something commonplace and contemporary than I ever am about like geopolitics or topography.

I'm not asking for reform because arguing on paper about what ICE has to do is not the fucking point, because--and this is important--they are not following the fucking paper.
I said "abolish" and I did not stutter, because if fascists goons can take over every four years, there is no paper reform.

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity.
They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

Everyone around the country is panicking about the weather, and I'm chilling in the upper Midwest like "It's just a little cold; it's not snowing or anything. Please chillax."
Everyone located elsewhere, feel free to do whatever. You're in a much worse situation than, "Eh, it's a bit below zero."

I get that there are some people who are afraid that if we don't stand together as a party, we'll somehow lose in the midterms.
Yes, but ICE is casually murdering people in the streets and kidnapping kids. Norms are designed to be challenged in these moments. Challenge them.

Males in most species are all brightly colored and flamboyant to attract mates, but modern day humans have somehow created a dominant culture (at least in the anglosphere) of the most boringly dressed dudes because colors are feminine now.

HEY APub AUTHORS!!!
Amazon has put up a form where they (non legal terminology) sign over their half of any anthropic settlement money to you. Obvs I can not give anyone legal advice, but check this out. This could give you 2x the money.

For any unions participating, this is unequivocally 100% an illegal strike.
Generally speaking, formal job action by unions is prohibited while a contract is in effect - strikes are only allowed once a contract expires (unfair labour practice strikes exist too but I'm trying to keep this simple)

For people asking “why isn’t there a general strike?” earnestly, and not just to be a judgmental prick
Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since.
That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

2026: the year so bad that even the Third Amendment is suddenly relevant
In which I explain that the Third Amendment—the one nobody ever talks about—allows hotels to refuse to house Kristi Noem’s ICE goons.
Opinion: Hotels Have a Constitutional Right Not To House ICE Agents
The Third Amendment prohibits the government from forcing people to “quarter” troops. ICE is essentially a paramilitary force—so why would hotels let them stay?
