Research from 2022 that every Democrat apologist should chew on:
“We do not find any evidence that accommodative strategies reduce radical right support. If anything, our results suggest that they lead to more voters defecting to the radical right.“

One of the things mentioned here is that they arrived in unmarked cars and wore casual clothing, so if staff hadn’t had the courage to tell them to go away, how would you know they were federal agents and not random adult men abducting children? This should be the biggest conservative mom panic ever
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

ICE can't do anything about protesters in cyberteucks or else they'll finally be labeled as terrorists.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

It can often be difficult to tell Sheep (right) and Goats (left) apart, but to the trained eye there's an obvious difference:
While both commit Crimes, only Goats are aware that their actions are wrong, and are thus capable of Sin.

Easy does it. You don't have to solve everything or figure everything out in this moment. Breathe; check in w/ yourself; remind yourself of who you are & what you're all about; remind yourself of your micro goals today; & focus in on the next teeny, tiny baby step.

I do not think it is a coincidence that Trump and Karoline Leavitt are both floating the “US Citizens sent to El Salvador” a few days after massive, distributed anti-Trump protests.
It is a threat, and we need to be louder and angrier than ever before on behalf of everyone who has been sent.

Hiring your brother is the original affirmative action for white people.
Diversity initiatives were meant to overcome the old patterns of nepotism, so I guess it makes sense that the enemies of diversity are big fans of nepotism.

For years, political experts have warned that America is in a state of democratic decline. Now some say democracy in the US could be giving way to something else entirely: an oligarchy.
