I mean, at minimum, why not throw down on two conditions to even *begin* ICE funding negotiation: 1. Full release of Epstein files & briefing from AG Bondi regarding further prosecution of co-conspirators 2. AG Bondi to testify under oath as to whether anyone under employ at ICE or CBP are Jan 6ers

If you’re in Congress and think the way to address ICE/CBP is by way of techincal/programmatic tweaks, you are a collaborator hoping to make white supremacy and gov’t overreach less controversial and more invisible again. If you don’t see this as the most fundamental MORAL ISSUE of our time, GTFO

After Renee Good and Alex Pretti, an objective reading of the facts lands on: The federal gov’t asserts it can kill -but never murder- ANY of its citizens because we are surplus life rendered unhuman by our failure to satisfy our highest moral obligation: to perfectly, reflexively obey the state.

State/local MN prosecutors have a tough job gathering the customary breadth of evidence in the face of an Epstein-level active federal coverup, but I also think there is enough available evidence and analysis for a local jury to make a fair determination of guilt or innocence.

Certainly a choice for the regime to release video showing Renee Good was murdered not because she was an imminent threat to life, but that she calmly emasculated a government employee. Further that they kept the “fucking bitch” line in it. It’s a Misogynist Military Complex of hysterical men.

According to too many, there is white and then there is political there is male and then there is political there is capitalism and then there is political there is straight and then there is political there is cis and then there is political there is non-disabled and then there is political

The immigrants MAGA and white evangelical christians hate so much are fleeing the kinds of depressing, suffocating, brutish kleptocratic strongman states the GOP is building before our eyes. We’d all be smart to stop it, because none of us are going to like it once built. Well, except the rich.

Immigrants and asylum seekers belong here, because like all good Americans, they dream of the freedom that whatever box(es) you check on a census form, you’re secure in the knowledge you’ll be left the fuck alone by your government.

Why is everyone so afraid to say no? There is no law that compels you to make the president smile. There is no law that says you must deadname missing children. Call their bluff or the extortion continues. NMEC has the upper hand, legally and politically. Have some dignity and honor your mission.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

Complying with the deadnaming request is ghoulishly evil. The same abhorrent, abusive behavior that causes un-supported or un-loved transgender youth to leave home in the first place. Just inexcusably immoral and cowardly.

Assuming Republicans even do confirmation hearings, I’d be very interested to know what RFK thinks of Neuralink and how he’d approach its regulation. Seems like something he’d be vehemently against? Or perhaps money talks, same as it always was.

This is persuasive! The Dems should absolutely move toward an explicitly “anti-establishment” agenda. The left’s claim to anti-establishmentarianism is so much more genuine than the right’s. The Go board is filling up with white stones, what other moves are there? bsky.app/profile/leah...

One academic theory I think helps explain these democratic socialist to MAGA swings that AOC is documenting is Hirschman's "Exit, Voice and Loyalty." I think these voters think the solution is exit and they see both Bernie and Trump representing that anti-establishment energy.

I mean, MTG says MAGA is “the mainstream” now. Every abusive, crazy, and stupid thing coming people’s way done by a vertically integrated MAGA Military Industrial Complex will be pretty easy to define. Many are gonna feel defrauded and will be looking for their next “exit.

Now that the Free Speech Absolutists are on the eve of power, the zeitgeist is unquestionably Be careful what you do, Be careful what you say, Be careful what you think About Dear Leader. Or face the consequences.

You are up to date.
