(Dude I am one of the whitest people I know, and the one thing that really bothered me about that shit?
Other white dudes saying dumb shit like this, or "why can't they just Act Normal" talking about people acting completely normal in their cultural context!
It's embarrassing to listen to that.)

I cannot stand the "this is a good start" discourse. The Democrats in Congress do not want to abolish ICE. They have proposed a series of bog-standard reforms regurgitated by a think tank. Everyone knows they do not work. The Democrats supporting this do not care. They just want to move on.

All these men driving women out of their fields with giggly idiot grabassery and then bloviating to the public about how the lack of women is proof of male intellectual superiority... I hate them all. I hate them so much.

If this proposal happens there will be ZERO reforms to Border Patrol or ICE. Nothing will ever change. Once something like this is agreed to, that will be the end of all negotiations as far as Republicans are concerned. Dems will get no reforms on immigration enforcement.

This is the thing you say when you’re not a marginalized person who has experienced GENERATIONS of workplace harassment and bigotry and racism and begged every day of your life for your employers to just fucking tell people in your workplace to stop slapping your ass.
It is critically fucking important to get that people hated that stuff - and the general business Maoism shift of Late Woke - because of how incredibly insulting and demeaning it is to be lectured about your personal culpability in inequality by your evil corporate overlords. That's what sucked
“Diversity trainings were annoying” okay, name a work training that you loved to do?

When you agree to pass 5 of 6 appropriations bills, then you later agree to pass funding for everything that is in the 6th bill except for one agency (ICE) that has already been prefunded in a previous bill, you are giving up every bit of leverage you have and selling out.

3. Defends evil without actually defending it, ensuring you're still invited to give keynotes at Evil Corp Dinners but also to MET Gala.

This happens with*everything* now. No matter how grave the crime or one-dimensional the injustice, after four days the hivemind of American punditry decides that the Real Story is how the people upset about it are the real villains.

The fact that mainstream media stopped covering ICE kidnappings in LA isn't because ICE stopped kidnapping (they didn't)
Or ICE slowed down (they have actually increased their tempo)
Or that resistance to ICE slowed down (it never stopped, it grew)
It's the "political showdown" that stopped.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.

Why aren’t more people warning about the GOP’s SAVE Act, including its requirement that states launch new voter purge programs??? History shows that Rs “love* over-broad purges. Tellingly, SAVE proposes *no penalty* for faulty purges but potential *prison time* 4 a single faulty voter registration.
