Another ICE "assault" case unravels. Border Patrol and ICE are arresting US citizens and then after they find out that they are US citizens, they are charging them with "assault" to justify their actions. This is clearly DHS policy at this point. We've seen it repeatedly now.

Folks in LA please be careful and refer to this guide for protest gear from Hong Kong’s 2018 anti-extradition protest, in case you need some helpful, well-tested gear suggestions against heavily armed police that are liberal with tear gas.

I’m also seeing video on here of ICE going ham in an LA Home Depot parking lot, just a few days after it was reported that Stephen Miller was yelling at DHS/ICE officials to target Home Depot for migrants to sweep up.

People disappearing and silencing students are moves of an authoritarian regime.

I feel the same horror I felt watching an authoritarian regime crush democracy in Hong Kong in 2019 as I do now, except with more sadness about the reality that our unserious nation chose this. kwokpuilan.substack.com/p/cultural-r...

Cultural Revolution: Mao vs Trump
Mao Zedong might be laughing or turning in his grave, depending on how you looked when he saw President Donald Trump taking a page from his playbook for the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976).

Thank you @janehongphd.bsky.social for pushing us to better understand the nuances and narratives we need to address within our immigrant and refugee communities if we want to see a better society for all. time.com/7207388/lati...

The Idea of 'Demographic Destiny' Was Always Flawed
The narrative assumes that disparate groups of non-white Americans had the same politics.

There are families who will never be able to come back from this devastation, and many of them were in generational homes, passed down from people who bought homes in the 1970sand 80's in Altadena. All of the fires are a tragedy, but especially for those who don't have the resources to rebuild.

“It will be a moral failure that as immigrants work to get Southern California back on its feet — cleaning up mountains of debris, erecting wooden beams, installing drywall and wiring electrical systems — they will be doing so under threat of family separation.”

Not sure we’ll ever have another one like President Carter. religionnews.com/2024/12/29/j...

Jimmy Carter rid the presidency of lies. His fellow evangelicals? Not so much.
(RNS) — One of the many paradoxes surrounding Carter’s presidency is that he was unable to fend off the deception of fellow evangelicals, including Jerry Falwell and Billy Graham.

Thankful for the clear explanation from @janehongphd.bsky.social about neoliberalism’s role in how we got here. How do we offer an alternative in our organizing if it’s this difficult to define? www.theguardian.com/books/2016/a...

Neoliberalism – the ideology at the root of all our problems
Financial meltdown, environmental disaster and even the rise of Donald Trump – neoliberalism has played its part in them all. Why has the left failed to come up with an alternative?
