He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them. Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.

republicans keep making life worse for working people and better for the rich and then we have elections and they’re like no that’s not true! and people believe them and then they just do it all again and it’s enough to make a rational person feel absolutely fucking insane

Republicans whisper “Trump is dangerous” in private, then vote for him and every bill he supports in public. Total cowardice. If you’re afraid of the man you support, maybe it’s a sign you shouldn’t be supporting him?

Had Trump LITERALLY did nothing with our existing partnership and trade deals with our allies, the American economy would be in a much better place. Instead, he interferes and makes everything worse. Example: the Vietnam "deal." Now we're going to pay more for goods. Because...MAGA.

Every so-called "red state" is a place where Republicans have refined voting districts & other election systems to control how they'll break in advance. Imagine if the Boise area weren't split between two districts, for instance! Dumping on an entire state always means gratuitously punching down.

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods… I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.
