In national elections, liberals like me ask leftists to be coalition partners — hold their noses and vote for a candidate they don't love to beat someone truly terrible.
In New York, the shoe is on the other foot. And we should be clear that we're willing to do what we ask of our partners.

"No one voted to deport moms" — yes they did. This is why Critical Race Theory needs to be taught to everyone.
It was common for white people to have their "favorite" Black individuals they worked with or employed, while still supporting the Jim Crow system that oppressed Black people as a whole.

i really, really need people to understand that they *didn't* vote for this, no matter how much you insist they did. insisting "they voted for this" elides the information environment that led them to vote the way they did in the first place, the thing that actually needs fixing.

Trump effect since he came to office on Canadian polls. Quite incredibly has now resulted in the Liberals returning a minority government in yesterday’s election after polling at under half the Conservatives on Trump’s inauguration day earlier this year.

Make no mistake. Torturing migrants is a blueprint for torturing citizens. Dehumanization is highly infectious.
Make no mistake. That Guantanamo memo CBS recently reported on is a blueprint to torture migrants without ever having to directly, explicitly approve torture. Here’s why.

“I’ve been disappeared because a rainforest killing plagiarism machine picked me out of a hat”, coming to a dystopia near you
Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.
