The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Read this thread. All of these ICE “facilities” are concentration camps. There is a reason they are not allowing oversight. Keep protesting this shit and informing people about this Nazi regime. Nuremberg Trials 2.0 can’t come fast enough.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Anthony Boyd asked Supreme Court justices to spare him from a torturous death by nitrogen hypoxia. They said no. His execution took 37 minutes. This is barbarous.

Trump demolishing the east wing of the White House is an apt visual for what he is doing to this country. Jesus f*cking Christ.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

Protestors believe that action has meaning. Protestors are exercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution. For me, protest is about love of country. I will be there on October 18th, and I hope you will be too.
