ICE has billions upon billions to spend. They will build their fucking concentration camps somewhere unless Congress finds the gonads to rescind that money.
Only rescission will stop ICE. The Big Billionaires Bill funded the agency for the duration of Trump’s second term. That was no accident.

The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

A friendly editorial suggestion to @npr.org from a supporter: Regardless of what the top story is, maybe starting NPR News Now with the two words, “President Trump,” seemingly EVERY HOUR isn’t a great experience for listeners.
When I hear, “Live from NPR…” I think, “Oh God. What now??”

Others have said this, but how shameful is it that RFK Jr. works for this administration that is laying waste to his family’s monument?
Then again, how shameful is the damage he is doing to his family legacy all on his own?

THIS ARTICLE from the estimable David Glenn Cox is a must-read.
And he's absolutely right: Trump has never NOT been a racist, and his escalator speech 10 years ago made that plain.
The question isn't his racism, it's our complacency in the face of it.

This is excellent & draws out something the rest of the media is ignoring: among other things, the Epstein files have made it super, super clear that the entire "anti-woke" cultural hysteria was engineered by powerful men averse to accountability.

I don't post enough about the other central pillar of my politics, aside from anti fascism: being anti car
cars are bad in almost every way, especially in cities
if you go to even large, bustling cities that are actually dense, they are quieter than US cities because you can get away from cars
