We've already seen Waymo footage used by cops and those little delivery robots require you to meet them and verify who you are (in addition to taking gig worker money away). Don't be stupid.

"the elite of the antebellum South were degenerate gamblers who financed their lifestyles with industrialized rape and would kill you for pointing this out" is a straightforwardly accurate statement

sometimes you'll learn that, like, Napoleon did legal reforms which are the basis for many countries legal systems today. with slavery you learn that men would rape people and enslave their own children

The American right does not defend slavery because progressives say it was bad. They defend slavery because racial hierarchy has been an important and increasingly explicit component of their ideology for 70 years. Read a fucking book.

Chuck Schumer and his band of Dems just want a kindler and gentler ICE - which will do the kidnapping of children and shipping people out to concentration camps - the right way.
Seriously, why is it so difficult for Dems leader to say - they need to dismantle, gut & restructure this agency?

This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own.
And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.

there's a lot of talk about how the US has permanently destroyed its position in the world and while I do think it's done some real damage I also think we underestimate how readily a lot of former allies will be willing to rekindle a relationship if we replace this regime
AOC: "I think we have to recognize that we are in a new day and in a new time. But that does not mean that the majority of Americans are ready to walk away from a rules-based order, and that we're ready to walk away from our commitment to democracy."
