white guy never heard of slavery
This has to be right up with one of America’s darkest time. ICE KILLING Americans, arresting honest hard working immigrants, similar to the same white immigrants arresting them.
DISGUSTING, HORRIBLE AND EVIL. America cannot survive as a nation with this kind of leadership.

Should be noted that undocumented immigrants have a VERY low propensity to commit crimes, so that's a low bar. But still the comparison is damning.

deleting now! there are too many apps these days anyway!
INBOX: @sbworkersunited.org is escalating its rolling strike by calling on supporters to delete the firm's popular app off their phones until it agrees to a contract. It's an ambitious move that will test the depth of popular support, given how much value users have tied up there in rewards points.

Absolutely this! And, like social media (but more permanent), what you've written in a particular context may well be revisited in a different one years later. People try to control how this happens but it doesn't always work.

How might things be different in this moment if the writers of the Constitution gave us a positive Right to Bear Witness (akin to the Right to Bear Arms), rather than the kind of negative right ("Congress shall pass no law... abridging the freedom... of the press") that the First Amendment provides?
The arrests of journalists for simply covering a protest a personify the Trump regime’s accelerated sprint toward fascism.These arrests also remind us that no one has been more instrumental than Bondi in the assault on rule of law domestically and internationally open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
