having high-attention-getting, well-attended events where people bid money to destroy trump shit would also build consensus in the public that trump sucked ass and everyone hated him

Just a year ago, we heard reducing the deficit was so important Elon Musk had to fire as many scientists, forest rangers and Black women on the government’s payroll that he could find. Now? 🤷🏾‍♂️

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

We have no functional national media in the way many people still think we do, so the more regular folks we can show this stuff to, the better. Make sure your friends, family, co-workers, REALLY see what’s going on. If you still have personal Facebook, blast it with these videos. Make it inescapable

the failure of Dem opposition still comes from the party being without shared beliefs such that the only message they can agree on is affordability. the party as a whole won’t condemn cops. they won’t call for a wealth tax. they won’t call for expansive labor rights. they’re lost but hate the left.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

(4) If you are arrested, you simply must do the following: - Identify yourself - Prove or attest to your citizenship - Invoke your 5th Amendment rights and demand your lawyer - Literally do not say a single thing besides the above. Do not talk shit, do not mouth off. There's time for that yet.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Gregory Bovino, leader of Trump’s LA and Chicago raids, personally testified that he saw a protestor strike a Border Patrol agent. The jury did not believe him and the protestor was acquitted. The Trump admin is losing these cases left and right. Their credibility with jurors is virtually nil.
Protester found not guilty of assault despite top Border Patrol official's testimony.

There is a clutch of pundits who treat the world like it’s an Ivy League seminar course, mostly because that’s the environment in which they emerged. They think debate and white papers are the pinnacle of political action. They fume at anyone who approaches politics in any other way.

Journalist Wendy Fry made a fascinating observation. Sightings of immigration enforcement in CA dropped from 224 on July 10 to 191 on July 11 to 80 on July 12.
WendyFry @WendyFry_•1h
A day after the TRO was issued, the number of ICE sightings in California dropped significantly from the peak of the 36-day crackdown in L.A.

Underneath is a screenshot of an immigration alerts app. It shows peak of 621 sightings on June 21. On July 10, there were 224 sightings. On July 11, 191. On July 12, 80.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

The attacks on USAID are so telling about the whole blinkered worldview of this admin of goons. The cost to the US is minuscle, the benefits to recepients massive, the capacity to manage crisis abroad sustained, and they're happy to destroy it because they cannot concieve of anyone else as human.

The ordinary questions you might ask: Is Elon Musk a government employee? Are his lieutenants? Does he personally hold a security clearance and do his “lieutenants”? Have they all undergone a background check? Are they subject to foreign influence? Have they ever done a sieg heil on stage?
