One point that may have been lost: I’ve never seen this ad before.
It’s only when I searched for Mexican folk music tonight that YouTube started running it.
Google’s surveillance technology has enabled the government to selectively terrorize specific groups in service of white supremacy.

Listening to Mexican folk music on Youtube and they're running this horrible ad urging people to self-deport.
Fuck you Kristi Noem, and fuck you Google for taking her money.

The most tone deaf and hypocritical statement you wouldn’t believe until you actually saw it.
You cannot recognize a day of mourning when your government’s anti-trans discriminatory legislation is causing the incredible harm.
The duplicitous double speak is so Orwellian.

You can get your knee and shoulder fixed faster, but have to wait longer for your cancer surgery times.
Govt knows and refuses to acknowledge (there’s no profit to be had for their friends treating those surgical conditions)

Not to continue to do this Cassandra bullshit, but here is a clip from two years ago that outlines exactly the playbook in this moment: a government and private law enforcement army run entirely on grievance, culture war slop, and weaponizable data points, deployed against boogeymen, absent facts.

Kirk didn’t debate out of some spirit of democracy or whatever. He did it to expand the Overton window, so that the humanity of marginalized groups could be seen as being up for debate. His “change my mind” schtick was a sham: he was never, ever willing to change his mind.

Remember how CBC dedicated an entire call-in show to "The US is going to annex us. What are your thoughts on that?" and they had Kevin O'Leary on as an 'expert'? And they doubled and tripled down, defending their decision to do that?
CBC, he does not respect you. Why do y'all respect him?!
