Trump’s EO is a paradigmatic example of elevating abstract symbols of America over the principles that those symbols ostensibly represent. If you value the symbol more than the principles, you are long overdue for serious reflection.

Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war.
She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza.

Folks really need to get clear on the difference between fascist government and totalitarian government.
We've fully arrived at the former, but we still have the ability and moral responsibility to prevent the latter.

One of the things I’ve learned a lot about this past year is how in many smaller towns, the sheriff, judge, real estate developer and construction company are either the same person, same family or just as good as. It’s all landlords all the way down.
Given the prevalence of Real Estate and Construction company owners in local politics, these efforts are *all* about short-term grift for the already-privileged.
Tucson *just* defeated (like, last week) such an effort. The self-satisfied smarminess of the "pro" politicians in interviews is awful

"Cockroaches" the exact literal term most used in Rwanda by Hutu ultranationalists against Tutsis in the lead up to when they killed hundreds of thousands of them in a matter of weeks. Also used by Begin to describe Palestinians, "drugged cockroaches in a bottle."
A reference to "cockroaches" is telling. They see Black citizens of DC, migrants, and the unhoused as pests in need of removal, never mind the preceding centuries of inequality, slavery, death and terror. Please stay vigilant and feel free to report anything you see to us or tag us in your post

“Jews own real state, banks, media. Mamdani taking over the city your fault. It is slap in your face that you are not strong anymore.”
