A party that sells itself as "less worse" has no future. A party that forbids its base from demanding a hopeful future is a dead party. Any society that party controls is doomed to collapse.

Gone are the mass raids and militarized metro operations. Gone are the pomp and pageantry. But ICE arrests have hit record levels. ICE operations are no longer concentrated in large American cities. Immigration enforcement officials are also working in suburban and rural areas, all across the US.
A map of the United States that shows immigration arrests per 100,000 people since ICE's new enforcement strategy began under DHS secretary Markwayne Mullin.

Media will write an article about Medicaid cuts that affect disabled people and put it behind a paywall. Truly evil to be like: The government might kill you soon but we're too greedy to let your impoverished as know the details.

Four years ago today, President Biden said, "The pandemic is over. We still have a problem with COVID." At the time, we were in the 5th COVlD wave. We're now in the 13th.

Democrats. The "lesser evil" you excuse today never washes off of your brand. The genocide, the transphobia. That's you now. We begged you not to do it. You did it anyway. Whether you win or lose, regardless of how evil the GOP is, it's on your permanent record. And you did it 100% to yourself.

Thinking back on the whole "Elizabeth Warren doesn't owe you anything!" thing from the 2016 election. And all the Clinton fans celebrating killing off all hopes for Medicare For All. 2016 really was the year of slipped masks for the DNC.

Part of the reason a lot of super rich people are so awful is that when normal people get an absurd amount of money, they immediately start looking around for who they can help.

Incredible. When E—n M—k & his crew obliterated USAID in a weekend, they deleted a vast trove of publicly-funded knowledge: the Development Experience Clearinghouse. A Canadian high school student (!) happened to have downloaded the entire thing for a project. AidData has now posted it for all.

Before reimagining development data, remember what we’ve learned
Why we’re publishing a free, searchable, and ungated archive featuring a quarter-century of USAID evaluation reports.

A horrible bipartisan 1-2 punch:
WWI vets blocked the US Capitol in 1932 to demand that Hoover pay their bonuses.
To avoid the same protests POTUS FDR shipped large numbers of bonus army vets to "rehabilitation camps" in the South.
Hundreds of these veterans died in a hurricane in 1935 as a result.

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.
