True American Century of Humiliation stuff. China is using AI for data analysis and streamlining logistics and production processes, because that's what AI is good at. The West has decided that there should be a friend in the computer that tells you to kill yourself but will be God one day.

The idea that they are hamstrung is their own propaganda. Few people in the world have as much power, freedom of movement and action as Democrats at a national level. They could use that freedom to resist, but doing so might cost them. So they are busy maintaining and fundraising off the chaos

Reminder: the Dems aren't "doing nothing", they're doing exactly what they want to be doing. They're not failing to be opposition, they're succeeding at staying in power as part of a fascist regime.

This is Liam Ramos. The five year old that ICE took from a Minneapolis school and sent BY HIMSELF WITHOUT HIS FAMILY to a detention facility in Texas. There are monsters among us and they are wearing masks, carrying guns, and work for the US government.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

I will never understand the mind of someone who can watch the man speak and not panic at the thought of that addled brain being in control of a massive nuclear arsenal
the president is absolutely crushing it at this press conference. i am on the edge of seat waiting to find out if his mommy loved him very much because of how good he was at little league baseball which was played in the park outside of an insane asylum. i wonder if we’re invading greenland.

If your solution to the ICE problem is more training and body cams, after Jonathan Ross, a 10 Year ICE veteran, murdered Renee Good and captured the act on his OWN PHONE, you are an enemy of the people and cannot be trusted as a public servant ever again.

This is not **any form** of anarchy.
This is authoritarian fascism, to which all forms of anarchism are diametrically opposed.
How the hell are you a professor at a "respected" institution and apparently incapable of understanding this.

Hey so this isn’t actually what anarchism is!
Trump’s aggressively hierarchal, centralized form of government is diametrically opposed to anarchism, which even the worst definition characterizes as a *lack* of governmental authority, not an *excess* of authority concentrated on a fascist!

It’s really upsetting to see people repeating the same talking points that got us here.
The only way out of this is not just abolishing ICE but a transformation of our democracy. One that is durable and actually democratic.
All we keep doing is slowing down fascism. And sometimes speeding it up.

To this point, it’s crazy to me that the “abolish ICE” position is seen as some debatable policy measure rather than a prerequisite for building structural guardrails against authoritarianism.
This isn't a left-right ideological issue. But it blows me away that anyone who is actually anti-Trump would think running back Joe Biden/Merrick Garland 2.0 will work the second time. No political party can tolerate a very large, armed secret police force committed to murdering its voters.
