Federal immigration goons use their vehicles to confront a crowd of demonstrators protesting ICE in Tacoma, in what eyewitnesses say was an attempt by the suspected Feds to intimidate them. You can see the crowd stand their ground, and the goons drive off.

I’m gonna make a general comment here: every person who comes into a Black woman’s mentions to say she doesn’t know her intellectual place thinks that race and gender has nothing to do with it. BUT: The decision not to consider how Black women are targeted before commenting is itself misogynoir.

And the 'strategy' thing, where people betray basic principles & overlook mass child murder, is precisely how Dems got away with genocide in the first place, and why we continue to slide into full-on fascism. Because #BothPartiesSuck and the "progressives" sell out routinely for 'strategic' reasons

The government legislation affirms they know they’ll kill these orcas. Why else would they need ministerial abilities to ignore laws that prevent projects from driving a species to extinction/extirpation AND to ignore conditions put in place to protect these orcas from this specific port expansion?

The GOP makes clear its cruelty while the "Democratic" Party is more subtle about it. But the psychopathy is bipartisan. Dems (Biden/Harris/Schumer/Jeffries) let US workers sit while providing the bombs to drop on entire families and ensuring mass starvation of children. They get a pass for this.
