Yeah, and this probably isn’t even in the top 10 for terrible things the Clintons have done to politics in this country

You’re right, but Adams was such a crappy writer that he produced some decent anti-corporate messaging in spite of himself. Like, I’ve heard the “laughing at Dilbert strips when I was a kid was what led to me being an anti-capitalist adult” thing several times now (which goes alongside the “JK Rowling made me anti-fascist” thing and “Kanye West made me anti-rascist” thing in the halls of literary ironies).

I definitely agree that’s what should happen, but until anything like that does happen I think this GoFundMe is fraudulent. As it stands they’re raising money for a court case that isn’t going to happen.

Sure, and thank you for your gifts to this community, but gift links aren’t permanent copies of an article as it exists at this point in time, which I think is always important to document with certain publications that have a mixed history on journalistic ethics (e.g. NYT, WaPo, CNN, etc. (for the record, I think they’re all way better than e.g. WSJ and conservative rags like that, but they’re still unreliable))

This agent hasn’t been arrested and it currently doesn’t seem like he ever will be, though

Omar was calling for ICE to be defunded back in 2021 when Dems had power but the Biden administration wouldn’t listen. The Democratic party is useless right now but it isn’t her fault.

The only viable opposition party is deeply corrupt and doesn’t know how to campaign anymore

Hopefully “investigate” is just the professionally appropriate euphemism for “drafting an indictment”

Moving noncombatants to a more defensible location is not appeasement

I was thinking specifically of drone strike assassinations with bystander casualties nobody ever has to answer for but fair enough

They started lying in 2003

There’s some inaccurate initial reporting that keeps getting circulated, to wit - Renee was not a single mother, she was married, and her middle name was not Nicole.

Yesterday in the Middle East, today in Mexico, tomorrow in Minnesota

And scumbag liberals who ought to know better but keep compromising and collaborating with the fascists because they think it will get the angry assholes on their side

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
