I don't have contempt for those people, I have intense visceral loathing.

"[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

A whole lot of people failed that litmus test after Sandy Hook. Turns out that a large swath of the country is A-OK with dead kids as long as it doesn't affect them directly.

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons.

We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team.

We didn't say body cams on ICE. Their murders are already on video. We said no more ICE.

The moderate position is every one of these shitbags from the top down to the dumbest ass Gestapo thug standing trial.

The longer that moderate position is defied, the more people will be asking why we're not making use of all these lampposts.

i think this is exactly right. fascism is the Death Drive as ideology. it's why the catastrophic end of the Nazi Party does not deter people from worshipping Nazis. that the Nazis destroyed Germany along with the rest of Europe is part of the appeal.

OK, so Musk was planning to go to Epstein's island, but it's not like he went there with the intent to go to a wild party or something, it was probably just some business. Excuse me, an email just came in.

*Reads:* "What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?"

Support Independent Journalism | GF

Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon.

A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly – without paying massive fundraising platform fees – through her website:

You speak deep, essential truths. They're better than the cheapest stuff, but there are plenty of better brands out there.

People are asking a lot β€œhow is this happening?” It’s happening the way abolitionists have warned you for decades it’s happening β€” you can’t dehumanize whole groups of people, pay for their brutalization & not expect for more bounty hunters to come.

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by nameβ€”citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Charging a Black journalist under the KKK Act for reporting on a protest is a whole new level of fucked up.

"In theater" is a military term that refers to a wartime theater of operations. ICE and CBP agents are in Minnesota, which is one of the United States. The enemy in this military operation are citizens of Minnesotans and the United States.

Again, there is no legislative fix for the magnitude of the authoritarian crimes being committed daily. Everyone is just pretending at this point:

"You know Bovino leaving won't st..." Yes I fucking know. I shipped 800 whistles across the country today. I'll ship another 500 tomorrow. I will not stop until they are stopped and also I will take the fucking W when one of their top fash fucks gets the boot.

They aren’t backing down. They’re just threatening people in other cities. Still illegal. Still unconstitutional. Even if they haven’t yet backed it up by shooting someone in the face.

Bovino's demotion is not justice and doesn't mean the fight is even winding down. What it does show, though, is that we can make them blink - and when you're in a fight and your opponent blinks, you swing *again*.

It's definitely a win. We need more, but it's a win.

Now do something with it.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

"The bus hungers" is a brilliant piece of poetry. Thank you for your contribution to literature.

We can celebrate Trump throwing Bovino under the bus while keeping the pressure on. Throw Noem under the boss, too. And Miller. Vance. Trump. Musk. The bus hungers. The bus will know justice. (Not a literal bus. A metaphor bus. The metaphor bus hungers.)

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call β€œsymbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

So yeah, they did as their training directed.

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.
