Nor will it end at ethnic cleansing. A machine built to eat people will keep eating people. Those who run it will always find a new category of unwanted humans.

Jennifer Nelson’s entry to this year’s Minnesota State Fair crop art
A localized version of Guernica with a loon at the center and a person holding an ICE OUT sign 

“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”

ICE agent testifies about how he targeted people: "They're not doing nothing bad. They're just hanging." Q: "Where?" ICE: "Street, store, gas station, anywhere..." Q: "What do they look like?" ICE: "Hispanic males." Can't go anywhere as a Hispanic man in ICE's America.

Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.

“We’re gonna go through every fucking file” is what I want to hear right now from every Dem candidate. Seed fear into the gestapo. Let them know they don’t just walk away from all this when management changes. Biden historically blew it by “moving on” from Jan6. We can’t make that mistake again.

stop. if you think the existence of a warrant is part of the conversation in any way, you cannot, by definition, argue that it makes any difference whether the guy they killed had a warrant or not. because right guy or wrong guy, an arrest warrant isn't a death sentence.

It’s outrageous that a government whose Constitution forbids the “establishment of religion” has been hijacked by Christofascists.

This opening of the 1619 Project has long been the most ringing sentence for me about this country, its founding, and its founding document. Its truth could apply to everyone who sought to broaden and deepen equality and rights.

Obviously this is a dipshit opinion. But since I sometimes see people on the left rolling their eyes about those signs, I just want you all to know that the other night some lost Black teens came to our house after taking the wrong bus and we were able to get them home. Why’d they pick us? Signs.

They’re packaging it like this so it looks like a shallow trend, but Gen Z has gone through two financial crises, a pandemic, rising fascism, active shooter drills since they were toddlers, and are now being told by the oligarchy they’re to be replaced by robots. Socialism is the logical conclusion.

She betrayed her trust for the purpose of destroying our social compact of peaceful governance. Such an attack on democracy should not be considered a non-violent crime. It is playing with fire, threatening society with violence on a scale more massive than any mere assault ever could.

Slavery was legal. The Holocaust was legal. The blatantly partisan U.S. Supreme Court rulings to steal Black political power and empower the dictator are legal too. But that doesn’t make them right, and they won’t survive the real justice that is coming.
