I keep coming back to this James Baldwin quote these days.
"The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality."
"As violence erupted, his charging document said, he told other rioters who were attacking law enforcement officers, 'Kill ’em! Kill ’em! Kill ’em!'
He then raised his arms in celebration after breaching the Capitol in a face mask... and escaped through a window..."

Rep. Dean: "The senators voted on this not knowing exactly what was in the bill. I bet they loved the part about no sales tax on silencers. Really, folks? We want to make silencers more plentiful in this country at the behest of the representative who owns gun stores? Conflicts of interest abound."
Someone seriously needs to start the 'we will tax excessive wealth and look after vulnerable people' party because that's who I'm voting for next time round.
NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia offered his first account of the “severe beatings” and other abuses he says he suffered while jailed in El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison.

Former Navy SEAL, (R) Rep. Derek Van Orden said, "...we're not a bunch of little bitches," regarding Republicans and the budget bill.
That's not true; every elected Republican has demonstrated over and over again...that they are, in fact...a bunch of little bitches.
RFK Jr., who's supposed to be all about "facts and logic," is out here removing members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee?!?
Y’all, these aren’t political appointees. These are public health experts—people who’ve spent their careers working to keep Americans safe from disease.
Just ask Florida who lost 12 billion in their first year of their anti immigrant policies and is facing defict state budgets starting next year…. 🤔

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.
Everyone should say it:
The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism.
Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy.
But that's not what's interesting about Miller.
It's not brains. It's bile.
Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?
ICE agents or bounty hunters?
A raid at Home Depot on Wilshire in Los Angeles earlier today.
What’s disturbing is that they’re wearing masks and vests you could buy on Amazon. They’re in unmarked cars, and I don’t see any IDs on the officers — regular SUVs with standard plates.
This was posted 15 minutes ago from here in Los Angeles: LAPD conspiring with I.C.E. agents, advancing on people protesting local I.C.E. raids.
I don’t mean to seem harsh, but this is a TAME version of the forces those of you white ppl who wanna take back your country from MAGA will be up against.🇺🇸
EVERYBODY WATCH.
ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL.
Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today.
He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader.
Don’t turn away.
Bondi DOJ has a problem.
On left:
DOJ Indictment and Detention Memo allege Abrego Garcia lied to officer by not revealing he was coming from Texas
On right:
DHS Referral Report: "Subject stated he was driving 'three days ago' (11/27/2022) from Houston, TX to Temple Hills, MD (via St Louis, MO)"
Bondi‘s quote about Abrego Garcia? “He now will meet the full force of American justice.” Well, that’s good. Because he already has met the full force of American injustice!
"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...
Crowds of brave people have surrounded the ICE detention centre in Los Angeles. They are trying to liberate victims kidnapped by Trump’s regime forces.
Victims were abducted and thrown into the basement of the building without due process. #3E
Russia has carried out more terrorist attacks on Kyiv, Ukraine, even targeting first responders who were trying to save victims. This is what Ukraine endures daily.
Ukraine hits military equipment with 0 civilian casualties, Russia hits innocent men, women and children.
DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas?
LUTNICK: Generally 10%
DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8%
LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff
DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America
