The US let the seeds of this fester for so long. This kind of expansion is what I wrote ONE LONG NIGHT to try to stop, but even thoughtful people had a hard time imagining what could happen. Someone from the Obama administration I interviewed a decade ago just sent me this article.

The Department of Homeland Security is funneling $10 billion through the Navy to help facilitate the construction of a sprawling network of migrant detention centers across the US in an arrangement aimed at getting the centers built faster. https://cnn.it/4oDFP9W

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.

I wasn’t close enough to see whether he wet his pants but it was over so fast it was like it never happened 🤷‍♂️
At Kent, Ohio a Trumpista leapt into the NoKings march, trying to start a fight.

He was restrained within seconds, held down until police came to arrest him.

Eyewitnesses report he wet himself and was crying as he was led away.

May all MAGA end this way.
Today in Kent, Ohio. Yes, THAT Kent.

A psycho Trumper charged into the No Kings rally, throwing punches, assaulted a woman. He was armed. The crowd tackled him.

I considered going to Kent for the protest. It's an hour drive for me. Went to downtown Cleveland instead.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Just sit with this for a moment. Israel perpetrated what is certainly the largest single mass killing of trans people in history. And it's basically a footnote in an article in the NYT covered weeks after it happened.
Israel bombed an Evin, an Iranian prison that housed dissidents and political prisoners. They ended up destroying the trans wing and murdering over 100 trans people incarcerated there, many for simply being queer in Iran.

This is unspeakable evil.

If we're going to get out of this, we're going to have to stand up for what we believe in and take some joy in what we love rather than just hunkering down and waiting for nasty people to take everything good away bit by bit.

Non-Violence is not pacifist. The intention is to expose the violence of the oppressor in contrast, direct actions are not pacifism, but confrontation. Don’t get these things confused when you hear calls to remain non-violent. It’s a well honed tactic, which, reveals state violence, effectively.

Thank God we didn’t pick the lady wanting to give first time homebuyers $10 K in assistance. We’d be missing out on the serious business of addressing important government tasks that’s on display right now!
