Everything is a “redistribution of wealth” — the only question is which direction it’s heading in.
Stop letting them convince you the only valid direction is from the bottom to the top. They’ve been selling that snake oil for decades.

One of these photos is how HBO's The Watchmen depicted a fascist police force back in 2018
The others are real photos of the ICE agents who are rounding people up and disappearing them in Boston, Denver, L.A., and elsewhere

It's important to know that when tech bros say they are "data driven" what they mean by "data" is their own experience and the assumptions.
This is why you regularly hear things like "UBI will destroy society" and "if you give away housing no one will work" despite all studies showing the contrary.

I know, norms and all that, but the default Dem position should be:
We think this is illegal but if the courts say you can do this then we are going to rip the guts out of the entire conservative movement. No more Heritage, FedSoc, etc. All of them lose their tax exempt status.

3 things autistic kids will actually never do:
1. Pick up a roadkill bear from the side of the road and put it in their van to eat
2. Realize they could get in trouble for eating the bear
3. Leave it in Central Park to frame a cyclist for its murder

I’m going to pull my teeth out if the left tears itself apart over whether Pete or AOC would be a better candidate while Trump dismantles every single check on his power.
Let’s have the debate while deep down adoring both of them as insanely smart, principled politicians that we are lucky to have.
