Hard agree. It’s just wrong! There’s a reason my community is full of Latino and Hmong and Somali people, and it’s because another America does exist and has existed. A free and welcoming America we can return to
I've said this before, but "america was always fascist" is simply not an effective messaging strategy for fighting an american fascist movement. you should not cede them control of the national identity! that's what they want!
People who say this are clearly speaking aspirationally about a shared American creed they hold dear. “Have you heard of the Trail of Tears?” is not a very helpful response, because they probably have and the priority right now is moral opposition to fascism and not fake-educating each other.

ordinary americans closing ranks to defend their immigrant neighbors so swiftly and ferociously is the greatest prime facie refutation of all the vile nativist lies and xenophobic propaganda put out

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.

Vance's conduct this week is obviously impeachable. I'm talking about his public conduct. Whatever private murder coverup he's participating in is what you find out once you start impeachment.

The operative part of "Don't Tread on Me" was always "on me," not "don't tread."
Similar to how the keyword in slogans such as "Fuck Your Feelings" and "Facts Don't Care About Your Feelings" was always "your," not "feelings."

Vance, to a greater degree than Trump’s inchoate lizard brain impulses, believes it is good and proper and desirable to murder not just political opponents but anybody he vaguely dislikes because they have left-coded attributes. He would gleefully run American death camps.
Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it
