ICE’s own director *said it out loud*: agents wear masks so they won’t be ID’d online. Not for “safety”—but so they can keep terrorizing families in secret. Cowards. If you volunteer to carry out racist raids, don’t cry when the public holds you accountable. Actions have consequences.

The decades of right wing media has a lot of responsibility for that soil.

Also tariffs are not the way to bring manufacturing to America anyway.

That bringing back manufacturing to the US is presented as a way to increase wages but it won’t. Americans would have to be willing to make way less than minimum wage to make the goods cheap enough.

Yesterday, we sent a historically big message to Trump, Musk, and the GOP — and we also sent a signal to all those who agree with us but have spent the last few months feeling shaken, hopeless, and afraid. #handsoff

Got photos from all 50 states. Looking for attendees' estimates to get some sense of the overall number. I was assuming I'd see this in mainstream media & then I remembered we're living in the No One Is Coming To Help You Timeline & started the sheet myself. #handsoff docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Fascism needs to always be escalating to work. The purpose is to distract the public with bread and circuses so the powerful can extract wealth and exploit people. It is an inherently incoherent ideology because the only real point is more wealth for the powerful.

The difference is that they pay taxes and get services in return. We pay taxes and the billionaires and corporations get all of our money and we get nothing but exploited in return.

Fascism is about keeping the public distracted with common enemies, culture wars, and bread and circuses so that the wealthy can exploit as many people as possible and gain as much money for themselves as possible. It has to keep escalating to work. That’s why Trump is talking about Greenland.

The root problem is the US Constitution. It was written before people really knew how modern democracy would work best and has a lot of issues.

I have no fire cuz I think we need to let them have at it. Let Trump and MAGA do whatever. If Americans aren’t going to listen to warnings, then they need to feel how much the crazy hurts. America is addicted to propaganda and political theatre. Some addicts have to reach rock bottom to learn.

Are you kidding? Trump can’t remember what he said he was going to do yesterday. He has the memory and attention span of a gnat. He won’t remember this in 2 years.

When men are aggressive, they are seen as leaders who get things done. When women show the same traits, they are seen as bitches who are not team players. When men are compassionate, they are seen by many as weak pussies who should man up. Male traits are more valued by society than feminine ones.

Modeling is not the fashion industry. The fashion industry is the designing of clothes. Modeling is its own thing.

🙄 Men and women are not that inherently different. It’s just that society is structured to reward men and women for different behaviors. Then people like you think those behaviors are biological because it is easier for your brains than to understand how men and women are treated differently.

1st because men earn more than women in the fashion industry. 2nd because the patriarchy is a social system across all aspects of life. Men are respected more than women. Their work is seen as more valuable. Masculine traits are seen as better than feminine ones. Men are seen as the default human.

So you are saying that men are inherently better than women because they hold more patents? Or could it be that society is structured to give men advantages that allows them to hold more patents than women? Actually according to the stats I have seen, men earn more than women in every field.

Some women get by on looks and some men do too but not all women are hot 20 something’s so they can’t all get by on looks. So it would be socially engineered if women had equal position of power and wealth but it is not socially engineered by the patriarchy that men have more of those positions?

Nice strawman you created there. 🙄 Nobody is arguing that. They are saying if men and women were truly equal, you would see about equal numbers of them in positions of power and wealth. The fact that men have way more power and wealth means they still have more advantages in life than women.

This is the America conservatives have actively been building for decades now with their thoughts and prayers and NRA worship, with their selfishness and insults. They are mad that a rich white guy was killed this time but the lack of empathy is the America they want.

Women would have equal power and wealth as men. There would be roughly equal men and women in positions of political and financial power. Women’s work would be seen as just as important and valuable as men’s work. Women would be seen as normal people and men would relate to their experiences.

Freedom and equality. The patriarchy is a social system that gives men more value and power.

You know that thought experiment, if you were given a box that had a button on it where every time you pressed it, you got a million dollars at the expense of someone else's life? Well, it’s the job of health insurance CEO’s to press that button as many times and as fast and efficiently as possible.

I guess the US doesn’t have to worry about the birth rate crisis since Trump is going to make sure a bunch of boomers die off in the next few years.

Because there is a clear double standard in the US. The right is allowed to do any illegal, underhanded, or selfish thing and that’s excused. The left is required to be perfect responsible adults at all times or is criticized.

I’m tired of seeing those on the left attack the Democrats. Don’t get me wrong, they are not perfect and can be criticized. However, we need to remember who the real enemy is and decide if we are actually aiding that enemy when we focus on criticism of our allies.

When my kids watched it, they were so confused why the parents didn’t notice he was missing when they went through security at the airport. We had to stop the movie and explain that anyone could run right to the gate back then.😂
