All of this needs to be ripped down and destroyed once and for all.

Aren't we already nauseated to the limit by tech bro views of the world? 🤢
Facebook's algorithm funnels IT jobs to men at 85% rates while shoving secretary gigs to women up to 94%, per experiments across six countries. French rights watchdog slams this as blatant sex discrimination. #AlgorithmicBias

This is so important…

Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles.

In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected.

REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency.

I have no healthcare at age 62. My job was pulled out from under me due to the current economy. I had to apply for early Social Security retirement in order to eat and keep a roof over my head, but far be it for Trump to wait for his Saddam Hussein Gilded Memorial Ballroom and Money Laundering Hall.

That bldg. is in horrible shape.

Slumlords across the USA now realize they can "ICE" tenants who complain about substandard living conditions.

These renters will be rousted from sleep, restrained, dragged naked out onto the street & have their possessions destroyed & stolen aka "ICEING".

Two of many horrific things stand out to me… 1. the naked children dragged off - tales of abuse in detention will be coming out for decades. And 2. At this point these fuckers could be anybody with a Uhaul and a some fake uniforms bought off Amazon.

"One clinical psychologist [said] he considers Trump such a 'classic' pathological narcissist that he is actually 'archiving video clips of him to use in workshops because there’s no better example' of the characteristics of the disorder he displays."
Unfit for Office
Donald Trump’s narcissism makes it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.

I wrote abt 4 ways to reverse fascism in this:
1) 3.5% in the streets
2) Win 2026 and 2028 (least likely to succeed).
3) Peel off 4 Senators or 8 Congresspeople
4) Clean up after inevitable catastrophe (a la 2008 or 2020)

There is nothing under international law that prevents people attempting to break an illegal siege of an illegally-occupied territory by a country committing genocide.

It is the other way around.

These governments are breaking their own public commitments to stop a genocide.

Democratic Party is treading water, slowly ensuring its own future drowning by trying to maintain a status quo that no longer exists—and which would be untenable even if it did.

They're as out of touch with the majority as the GOP is—they either need to embrace a progressive platform or fade away.

DYK: There was a Jewish Nazi group in Weimar Germany that supported Hitler bc everyone just calm down and you’re stressed but this is for the best.

And that reaction you’re having right now?

One day that’ll be how people react to the story of this ADL tweet.

Something I'm trying to get my head around concerning both the basis for the Second Amendment (a well-armed militia) and the whole fundamentalist white christofascist thing that crosses over … These people always say it's necessary to be able to fight an oppressive government/regime …

We believe healthcare is a right for every American.

But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies.

Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

I often wonder about the time masked ICE 'officers' were starting their little pogroms by going after the people who were *following the rules* and some of them had Russian tattoos …
