If your candidate is making a bad decision not to stand up for human rights, then the logical thing to do is to join a coalition to get them to reverse their position and support human rights instead looking for voters to scold.

“The overall product is a factually accurate portrayal of American politics that misses the big story: The Republican Party is a far-right entity at war with democracy; the Democrats are a normal party in a liberal democracy.”

This is such an understated point when it comes to “reaching across the aisle” like I come across super normie so I have a lot of convos with conservatives and the most I ever get is “well yeah not those specific people I know, they don’t count” bc it’s easy to make exceptions w/o changing mind

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

Gone are the mass raids and militarized metro operations. Gone are the pomp and pageantry. But ICE arrests have hit record levels. ICE operations are no longer concentrated in large American cities. Immigration enforcement officials are also working in suburban and rural areas, all across the US.

ICE is now lying in wait outside convenience stores, or at busy intersections. Agents are arresting people at international airports. Local police and sheriffs, deputized by the federal government, are detaining immigrants during traffic stops. ICE is now detaining more immigrants than ever before.

As has long been the case, ICE works with jails and prisons to take custody of immigrants after they have been booked in. Since Trump took office last year, only 46% of detainees have been previously convicted of crimes.

But an increasing proportion of arrests have been made by local law enforcement in partnership with ICE, via 287(g) agreements. In many regions, it can be difficult to know when local officers are conducting routine policework or immigration enforcement. In many cases, they are doing both.
A chart showing immigration arrests by local police, which have increased steadily since ICE's new enforcement strategy began in April 2026, reaching its highest amount above 200 arrests per day in late June 2026.

Four panel comic. Panel 1: two guys playing basketball outside. Guy 1 looks off to the side and asks, “is someone in the window?” Panel 2: a creepy ghost woman stands in the upstairs window of a house, watching them. Panel 3: Guy 2 calls up to the creepy ghost, “you wanna hoop?” Panel 4: the ghost is outside playing basketball with them. She bricks a shot from the free throw line. Guy 2 says, “that’s H-O-R.”

If the Dem consultant class were just "following the polls" they'd be encouraging candidates to go hard against "ai," stop arming the Israeli regime and embrace impeachment. They are doing the opposite, and their targeting of trans people is, likewise, about their own twisted ideology and cruelty.

“but the candidates have been decided already!” The election hasn’t. It’s in two months. They can change their stance TODAY. They can stand up today and say “I was wrong and I’m going to support trans folk now”. They can just do that.

i want them to know that this issue alone will absolutely lose my vote. i want them to listen to me. i'd rather them support trans folk because it's ethically the right thing to do, but if they're only supporting human rights because they have to do it to get elected, fine, good enough

Fuck yes Macklemore. Beautiful statement. Also, aside about him as a person, a friend used to work at a restaurant in Seattle he used to go to often. Apparently he was an extremely generous tipper. So just a good fucking guy all around.

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer):  You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.
