There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.
Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.
Good thing some US colleges are closing their Religious Studies departments—definitively not “useful” at all or an area of expertise that might be relevant for understanding our present…

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly
I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.
I've chosen the comfort of Taco Bell for my late night supper, may its trashy spiritual sustenance be a balm for my troubles.
Awfully hard to square the claims that ICE is focused on removing violent criminals that are so dangerous we can't let them be around with the fact that ICE tricks their targets by pretending to need help and waiting for neighborly types to respond by offering to help a stranger for free.

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit
I’m getting old. That made me cry.
I don’t! But I’d love to know the answer.
When you next hear a billionaire screaming at you that trans people are a “danger to women and girls”, just remember who’s in the Epstein files.
Trans people: zero.
Billionaires: all of them.
“Tipping points, once crossed, don’t usually reverse—that is why they are called tipping points. ICE and DHS are remarkably young institutions. Sixteen months ago, the idea that they might face genuine accountability, structural reform, or even abolition seemed politically absurd. Today it doesn’t.”
Read this great piece by Mike Lansing about Minneapolis and the relational organizing that mobilized the city. It is a roadmap for “We the People” politics.
I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

Huge scandal that Minneapolis has been crawling with terrorists this whole time. They've been living among us undercover as poets and nurses. And would've continued to, had it not been for the work of our bravest child kidnappers

Can someone smuggle copies of this newspaper into the offices of The New York Times and Washington Post so their editors can learn how to write headlines again?
Two small children hold signs they made. "LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!" "ICE GIT OUT YA FUCKIN DUMBIES 😡"
Gotta remind yourself not to cry when you see the kid's signs.
