Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

There's a lot of people who are so intellectually lazy they can't lift a finger to understand what is actually happening, how the government works, etc, etc. They found that they could get attention and clicks by channeling their rage at dems and they don't care about the details.

The more I think about that conservative dem mayor of San Jose getting into the governor's race, the more I wonder if he is literally compromised in some way. It's a very strange decision. Someone is leading him into it imho. the jungle primary creates a hazard of minority rule, and spoilers help.

New in PN: 'Abolish ICE' is imperative "There's no amount of training that can instill basic humanity in thugs who willingly mistreat women, children, and old men. ICE agents reportedly dined at a Mexican restaurant in MN before arresting employees. How will 'training' fix that level of depravity?"

We have nothing else. We need to attack them and grab them and steal them. It’s all we have. Just let us.”

Republicans have lived in a post-democracy era for some time - in their ultra-safe districts, their voters show up and hire them year after year regardless of their behavior. Democrats face blistering criticism on even minor transgressions. Here is the result.
