People are going to die because of the pending insurance premium hikes. I know the terrain of discourse is inconsistent and goes through a tumble cycle every 24 hours, but I really think we need to hone in on this reality and drive it home for people.

I think it’s ok to admit that the Nazis borrowed from US white supremacy and current US white supremacy is borrowing from their innovations and previous US white supremacy
Both can be true at once

Sadistic, marauding fascist monsters having a tourist moment. “The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, ‘Everyone say, “Little Village!”’”

I've been following the aftermath of a car crash where a federal agent was captured on video placing a Black man in a chokehold.
We obtained the 911 call made by a US Border Patrol agent who was on the scene through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request

Listen to a Border Patrol agent’s flustered 911 call following a West Side car crash • The TRiiBE
Dispatch asked the race of the victim; the agent responded, “Uh, she’s, uh, African.”

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here.
And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.

Years of US police impunity conditioned USians to accept this as acceptable.
Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.
