Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted: When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs: 1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt? 2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies? 3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

If you don't walk (or wheel) a mile in shoes of someone with chronic illness OR their caregivers, you can't fully understand the struggles we face. We fight SO hard to keep up w/forms & paperwork & granted FORTUNATE access to healthcare to LIVE. To dangle healthcare & RIP it from us is MERCILESS! 🤬

Ronald Reagan–appointed U.S. District Judge William Young: “ICE goes masked for a single reason — to terrorize Americans into quiescence… To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed, masked secret police.”

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

It would be irresponsible not to assume that the amount of violence the president, intentionally or not, will be prone to urging his most unstable followers to embark on...in retaliation for the assassination of Charlie Kirk...is something every U.S. citizen should hold in their mind as high risk.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Trump is really tough on crime, folks. So tough. That he allows Ghislaine Maxwell, a pedophile, to move to a minimum security camp and an Israeli official, arrested for trying to have sex with a minor, to flee to Israel. Any questions about this?

A really excellent article, on imagination over blind optimism and collective preparedness over despair. Flipping from blind optimism to despair feels like two sides of the same coin, but Butler showed us a long time ago that there are other paradigms, even when collapse is a real possibility.
