Ominous given this is how people typically affiliated with swastikas get to the locations they terrorize. Usually in a U-Haul.
ICE raided the Westlake Home Depot in Los Angeles this morning. LATU organizers snapped some photos from the raid—one sticks out: ICE agents rolling up in a Penske rental truck.

Wonder where they got the idea😬

Trying to avoid detection? Is this policy now? Are they now doing roving gangs in this?

I do think this matters. A Democrat should be willing to support the status quo of 2020 on trans rights. If that's too much then they're supporting the removal of our rights.
3) when people try to say "patience, optics, don't scare the average joes" like it's SSM/gay rights in 2010, remember those were new rights we were lobbying to get for the first time. what THIS discussion is about is TAKING AWAY rights trans people have HAD for decades

Another ICE "assault" case unravels. Border Patrol and ICE are arresting US citizens and then after they find out that they are US citizens, they are charging them with "assault" to justify their actions. This is clearly DHS policy at this point. We've seen it repeatedly now.

YES, I think about this insight from Marilyn Frye all the time. When I first read this essay in college, it was like a lightning storm in my brain in the best way. So many questions were answered.
Yup. I love this piece on how so many straight men are actually homoerotic and only truly love other men, they just unfortunately aren’t sexually attracted to them:

They murdered somebody during one of their raids.

They actually did it.

Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

The discourse around affirmative action and Zohran’s self-identification is rooted in anti-Blackness and is divorced from the facts or peer-reviewed work around both AA policy or Identity. Also trying to separate African Americans as those who “descend from slaves” and those who don’t is… bad faith

Ah yes, the guy who shrugged it off in 2023 when I informed him the AI "Harriet Tubman" his company is peddling to schools claimed Tubman said some anti-Black bullshit she never said. And even helpfully explained the racist and ahistorical meaning behind the totally fake quote!

I feel like the people defending Colbert should rewatch that interview and compare how he speaks to Lander and Mamdani. The way he constructs the questions, including the “Cuomo knows where the bodies are buried” question, was bad faith. He didn’t HAVE to phrase it that way to “give them runway.”
