Love this for him. Lest we not forget, the Trump regime negotiated the safe passage of a trafficker-rapist and his trafficker-rapist brother to the States. Not a single Republican “party of family values” fuck batted an eye. Bc birds of a feather and all that. The GOP = pedo protector party.

the question isn't "do you have faith in the democrats" the question is "do you have faith in the ability of people to work collectively to impose their will on the political system?"

Six months ago, the federal government indicted me, my friend Andre, and four others for protesting ICE. Our trial is this month and we are facing up to $250k in legal debt. Please help us win our case and protect all of our rights by donating to our legal defense: tinyurl.com/katandre

Yes, rebuilding USAID from the ground up must be a first priority for the next admin. (I’d certainly love to devote my career to that).

It’s imperative that programs like USAID get reestablished under a new saner administration. It would be a first step in salvaging our reputation and go a long ways in showing that the cuts weren’t so much the US but were Trump and Musk. It’s at least a start.

as a software dev I find the way AI companies market their products as magic boxes pretty repulsive. software brain would involve actually thinking about how the thing works; their real problem is investor brain. they believe the line must go up, and they'll burn the world down to do it.

We are a country in which a majority can witness (what most of us now think of as) an authoritarian nightmare scenario at Kent State in 1970 and approve of it...AND ALSO a country a majority can look back at Kent State and think "that was bad and we shouldn't do that again."

It’s a little confusing because on the ground everyone uses “ICE” as an umbrella term for feds of any stripe, but there are many agencies that have been thrown into this paramilitary invading force - ICE, ERO, Border Patrol, HSI, FBI, US Marshals. Border Patrol is easily the most militarized

trying to self-reflect on the many times in the past i have failed to empathize and stand with black americans as they experienced what us white folks are feeling for the first time under this regime. i failed to see and respect them. i have a lot to make up for. i hope others can do the same

Renee Good was peacefully sitting in her car. Ashli Babbitt was aggressively lunging at a police officer in a threatening way. Guess which one conservatives think had it coming when she got shot? They don't even try to be coherent, much less principled.

What's weirdly missing from coverage of the Dem video is any discussion of this Q: Is it reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal orders, or not? The answer is, yes, of course it is. On the boat bombings, for instance, evidence is extensive. Here's a look at it: newrepublic.com/article/2035...
