ken did a really great thread here that nicely articulates why i block doomers.
the only thing i’ll add is this: doomerism is a form of voter suppression. saying shit like “there won’t be elections” is saying there’s no point in fighting. it’s demotivating. fuck that.

This kind of thing does point out a real ethical dilemma: block or mute?

Lawrence O’Donnell predicts Trump could pardon every single #ICE agent on his last day in office. This is incredibly nauseating to even think about.

NEW: After a tense standoff with armed agents, Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison were blocked from entering the ICE HQ in Minnesota.
This is explicitly against a court ruling that officials must follow the law and let lawmakers conduct such oversight visits.

The media (and everyone else) need to stop referring to ICE as "law enforcement".
They are out to perform "ethnic cleansing" and to terrorize the population.
There is nothing "lawful" about it.

Garcia: Every American should be outraged by what happened in Minneapolis. The fact that there’s going to be no accountability—or that the DOJ wants to investigate it themselves—is insane. They can’t be trusted to investigate anything.

Weird to be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Am Rev while living under a government that has a) sent armed troops to occupy cities perceived to be too rebellious, b) rendered largely irrelevant the representative branch of government, and c) claimed imperial right to rule other countries.
