if you want to place our problems even close to the same level as the US situation

I don’t, no argument that the US is a total shithole right now. I’m literally just saying that vulnerable people are going to need places to flee to and basically every country on the planet makes that process far too difficult.

The rest of the world cannot help you.

Talk to your lawmakers about making it easier for people to obtain asylum

Beyond being terrified, it’s probably just the right thing to do from a strategic standpoint here. ICE has tried barging into schools and holding kids hostage as a way of getting at their parents before, so they probably should just transition to remote learning like it’s 2020 again until ICE fucks off.

e; and I say that knowing full well how much remote learning sucks for a lot of students and knowing what 2020 did to all the education statistics, but I don’t see a better way to keep people safe

*The whole Republican party is a Nazi terrorist death cult and needs to be treated as such

I also remember at least one case from LA where ICE chased someone on to a road where they were hit and killed by a vehicle, which ought to be felony murder imo

Will the Minnesota guard stand with Minneapolis by arresting every single ICE agent in their jurisdiction for conspiracy to commit murder?

If the job of protecting their communities is too tough for them they can quit, but if they like the badge and the pension and all the preferential treatment they get from people nows the time to earn it

Yeah, but giving them a direct order and having them defy it would be an illuminating moment for the general public to witness

If she caught a head injury from that bus it’s possible the behavior that led to her conviction was related

This podcast (arc) has an absolutely fascinating interview with a Latino Trump supporter who used to vote for Dems because he wanted them to give amnesty to undocumented immigrants but when that never happened he became disillusioned, and in the meantime businesses in his neighborhood were illegally dumping their trash and the Democratic city government just picked it up and never tried to ticket the owners owners, so this guy convinced himself that we needed a Republican government because he believed they were a tougher political party that would hold those businesses accountable.

I don’t think the Trump administration really cares if they sell anybody on what they’re doing

I’m pretty sure Massie is just upset that another Latino entered the country when Maduro got kidnapped

“levers of leverage,” running 32 separate instances of euphemism.exe simultaneously is making Marco-bot glitchy

The NY Post is absolute fucking trash published and read by the sort of subhuman scum that revels in this news, read about it in a better publication - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/02/kentucky-woman-arrest-abortion

Crazy how Venezuela’s laws apparently say the line of succession is just whatever Donald Trump wants, no wonder they’re a failed state /s

You can’t even run this one dumbfuck

But yeah, sure, whatever, occupying a country is super easy, that’s definitely what we learned in Afghanistan and Iraq /s

Y’know what, fair enough, I phrased that poorly

Get absolutely apoplectic at both, but recognize the fact that until we fix the Dems there’s no way we’ll be able to neutralize the Republicans

I would say about as big as LBJ finding out like a month before the 1968 election (which put Nixon in power) that candidate Nixon had been illegally coordinating with his friend Henry Kissinger at the State Department to undermine peace talks that could have ended the Vietnam War and decided to just sweep that little bit of treason under the rug rather than deal with the headache of arresting the GOP’s candidate for president right before an election

The Republicans are in power and actively tearing down the structures of our democracy because the Democratic party allows them to. The Republican party can only be dealt with through a more effective Democratic party. Any conversation about what the Republicans have done and stopping them from doing more absolutely must reckon with how we are going to fix the Democratic party first or it is going to inevitably be a complete waste of time and effort that puts us in an even worse place than where we are at now (see; 2024, 2016, etc.).

And the only way they will ever be dealt with is if we remove the useless shitbag Democratic party members who refuse to hold them accountable from office

Don’t get mad at the bank robbers for robbing a bank, get mad at the do-nothing sheriff who only ever wants to talk about how we all need to vote to rebuild the bank
