Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

It’s the time of year when i consistently mispronounce Tara Lipinski’s first name, because i’ve been conditioned by EHG to say it like @taraariano.com

One of the hardest things to explain to people who aren’t here is the very real feeling that we are in a war against the federal government. Not only are we occupied by unaccountable armed, masked paramilitaries, but we are constantly aware our neighbors might be abducted in the blink of an eye.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

I really can't state this enough. Federal agents have been teargassing parks and residential neighborhoods for weeks but didn't show up for a fight downtown today and look what didn't happen. Wishing absolute worst wishes to our occupying forces. GTFO of Minnesota.

Where is our national press? The government has been shooting at and harassing clergy for months. This used to be a red line. The reality is their red line moved, not yours. They’re cowards.

It's hard to adequately describe how scary it is to watch mainstream political journalists barely push back against a sitting U.S. president accepting a $400M plane from a foreign government that would literally be designated as an emergency command-and-control center during a nuclear war.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

It is the darkest of all possible humor that Disney is publicly rolling back their DEI initiatives and removing content warnings from older, racially-insensitive work on the same week that they are releasing a new MCU movie with a Black man as Captain America.

I'm still baffled by this: why doesn't a United States Senator like @markey.senate.gov bring actual law enforcement along to shove the rent-a-cop aside? Contrary to what many of you are lunging to reply, we're not at the point yet where there is no rule of law whatsoever!

One reliable way you can tell if a politician, pundit etc is worth listening to - if they spend ANY time at all blowing smoke at Elon Musk* as a leader, an intelligent man, a man with good ideas, etc etc. That means they're either bone-stupid, a coward, corrupt, or a Nazi. Maybe all of the above!

Lots of people have experienced this before, but a lot of supposedly smart folks who think they’ll be protected for whatever reason (race, class, citizenship, etc.) need to come to the realization quickly that the federal government is now explicitly hostile to your existence and way of life.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

How are y'all dealing with the cognitive dissonance of much of your daily life continuing as normal right now even as really really really bad shit is happening in government (that will certainly have ripple effects that will reach us all)? Because I'm honestly feeling a little insane right now.
