Today is a great reminder that we can never be too ready.
A chart outlining the RIP BOZO Readiness Condition (RIPCON), which is a riff off of DEFCON. There are 5 levels, with 5 being lowest and 1 being the highest. The chart details descriptions of these levels, examples and actions to take in the event something occurs.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Their whole point is to smash up functioning government and use the spoils to terrorize everyone, while installing a state based on mafia-style patronage. Don't give them more tools. Don't fund the terror.

The purpose of the United States Constitution is to prevent the rise of tyranny. It failed to achieve that purpose. We can obviously blame political elites across the spectrum for its failure; but it’s also worth contending with the fact that our political system is no longer fit for purpose.

Important thing to beat people over the head with: Trump has turned American cities into warzones and for fucking what? Prices are way up, jobs will be way down, the dollar is worth less, and now the highway is blocked off by cops. Maybe the Great Mythical Immigrant wasn’t the problem after all.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

It's #Socialistsunday, and to remind everyone, they are going to keep raising prices regardless of what we do. Also, I think all private corporations should burn. They exploit their labor and accumulate wealth.
