Disappointed idealist, rude energy. I like when things are good instead of bad. Living poorly in the boring dystopia.

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

More unaccountable thuggery, via the AP Twitter account. After being screamed at not to knee him in the face, the agent...knees him in the face again. See for yourself

In this context it is also worth noting that the quorum for both houses is 50%+1, wherever they may meet. If the Republicans and Trump's goons occupy the Capitol and refuse to seat a newly elected Democratic congress, they can just meet *literally anywhere,* meete quorum and be Congress.
here's what happens after house elections, which are conducted by each state and locality:
the state certifies the winner
the winners go to washington
they convene a new house
they choose a speaker
notice who isn't involved here? the president or the current speaker or the senate.

I think people need to realize that this only stops at the physical limit of their ability to do things.
"They can't do that because it's an enormous logistical problem they'll never solve" is absolutely not going to stop them from trying and causing enormous amounts of damage in the process.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

This is the insane, racist shit Harris ran on.
It's why none of them are doing anything now.
Federal Democrats are fully in support of ICE, they fund them year after year.
Don't let anyone forget or try to pretend they ran a good campaign.

There's a very small number of folks on here decrying "accelerationism" such as wanting political accountability and the abolishing of the Gestapo.
These people should shit, or keep hiding in the fucking toilet. None of us have any fucking use for you.

man this is true, isn't it? I read the shit out of the comics, so did basically everyone I know, and I assume so did everyone on this website since we're all 38
felt kind of grown up reading the newspaper, even if it was just the comics page, and the collections were all over bookstores

why did so many millennials read so many newspaper comics? easily 60 percent of my reading diet in elementary/middle school was collected editions of calvin and hobbes, farside, dilbert, peanuts, doonesbury (!), foxtrot (?!?) and i know im not alone. historically unique phenomenon
rather than talk about Scott Adams I want to talk about something weirder (me). Who else was really into Dilbert when you were 12. Who else was like, boy, I can't wait to work a cubicle job

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Not sure how parroting the right wing "paid agitator" talking point helps at all here. Seems suspect.
I think in reality the reason so many people think both sides are the same is because they generally seem to answer to the call of fundraising over solidarity with whom they supposedly represent.

While many are paid, many more join in out of ignorance. They are the "useful idiots" for that cause. If you can convince people that there is no difference between a blood thirsty dictator and a dedicated leader who is human and thus unable to solve every problem, the dictator wins.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

The one silver lining in Trump's daily rampages is that they have exposed Democrats' most insidious lie - the lie claiming that Democrats' own presidents never had the power to change much.
It was always a lie. Now everyone can see that - and nobody will believe it next time.
