I'm gonna say it again: I am done with the "why are you surprised" trolls. The capacity to remain shocked and upset by what is happening in our country is a sign that you are not numb to fascism. We have good reason to be shocked by SCOTUS endorsing the sale of migrants into slavery, for instance.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

I’m no fan of the Iranian nuclear program. Which is why President Obama signed a treaty with Iran to dismantle it. The only reason Iran is enriching uranium is because Trump tossed out the Obama-Iran treaty the minute he got into office. This was all preventable.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission. They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again. And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.
