Prosecute individual ICE agents sure, and also ensure any salary during 2024-2028 used to support these thugs is recovered. We have 100s of
supremacists making >100k and this cannot be allowed to stand.

Caught Death Panel’s, Abolish ICE, Abolish Borders, live episode. Two things I hope stick out, 1) Obama’s administration in many ways aided the current immigration architecture and 2) Many of the ghouls you are stressing about are career bureaucrats. Like, they’ve been in our gov for a while.

There is no easier or more important political position to take than to do everything possible to stop this. It will change our society forever, and Democrats are going along with it.

Cannot be allowed. Have to get folks massively moving in the opposite direction.

HHS is canceling $600 million in CDC grants for HIV and STD prevention in CA, IL, CO, and MN that were marked for state and local health departments, hospitals, universities and non-governmental organizations. These cuts conspicuously correspond to areas of DHS operations as well.

“I have nothing to hide” folks 😤
A student attended a protest targeting companies that supplied Israel with weapons.

He was banned from Cornell University and ICE subpoenaed Google for his personal data, including credit card and bank account numbers:

How serious we take your analysis, its accuracy, the recommended approach to address societal ills, the degree to which you are correct and others need to “see the light”, will now be tied to the number of potlucks you’ve gone to in the past year.

+1 for each potluck

We really fucked up by realizing the nonsense of “serious business people” and their silly games while not also taking all decision making power away from them tbh.

In commenting on the enlightenment writers emerging from the dark ages and being “naively optimistic” re: the future of capitalism I can’t help feeling similarly whenever I speak with folks in the tech bro space. Thats the phrase I wanted, naively optimistic.

At least 4 homeless folks froze to death in DC during the recent winter storm.

In the capital of the richest country in the world.

Where we're spending $1.65 million a day to pay for the Nat'l guard to do nothing.

It does not have to be this way.

Excellent work thank you.
The Trump administration is planning to terminate $600M of CDC grants to CA, CO, MN, and IL. We're publishing the full list.

They are using vulnerable communities as a weapon to dismantle public health, targeting partisan enemies, and manipulating media. 🧵 1/5

Watching the Va dems who hold a trifecta in state gov completely fail working people, as is tradition. 💅

Allow workers to organize? Nah

Tax the rich? Nah

More MH stuff to avoid addressing root causes? Sure

Its okay to be driven mad by this society. Better that than giving workers more power.

Nothing but love for these folks. If this happens to you, I hope you have the strength and means to resign. Or, the ability to organize in the belly of the beast.
Public health workers are quitting assignments to Guantánamo and other ICE jails, saying they’re being pressured to enable a man-made humanitarian crisis rather than protect health, according to one nurse who resigned.

2020 dishwasher: 2 catastrophic failures, repaired both times.

This is not random.

THIS IS A STUPID FUCKING SOCIETY.
