Hope everyone does watch this video as Vance says. Renee Good tells the ICE officer who shoots her in the face three times, "That's fine dude. I'm not mad at you. I'm not mad at any of you." She tries to drive away. The ICE officer murders her then calls her a "fucking bitch."

Watch this, as hard as it is. Many of you have been told this law enforcement officer wasn't hit by a car, wasn't being harassed, and murdered an innocent woman. The reality is that his life was endangered and he fired in self defense. x.com/i/status/20096…

Both totally immoral and politically stupid to try to make Democrats the party of deportation. Every time you concede the validity of the anti-migrant premise you’re bolstering MAGA’s core nativist message! You’re bad people and you suck at politics.

In the first week, Trump removed 7,300 people. On average, Biden was removing 15,000 a week. Under Biden 72% of ICE arrests were criminals. Under Trump it's dropped to around 50%. Trump is removing less people and less criminals. These guys are terrible at everything.

Canada & Mexico should put tariffs on US oligarchs If Tesla wants to sell cars in Canada & Mexico then Musk himself, as main shareholder of Tesla, should have to pay tax in Canada & Mexico Put a wealth tax on him, and condition Tesla’s market access to him paying the tax 7/x

The thing I'm focusing my attention on regarding these tariffs is: which mega corporations will lobby for and receive carve-outs or exclusions from this. Trump will enjoy CEOs begging him for it

Before the election, the president generally said Americans would pay no price for tariffs and would only reap benefits from his negotiations. After imposing tariffs on allies, a statement that “yes, maybe” there will be “some pain.” From the WaPo today:

I wrote about the Amazon Teamsters strike. It’s set to escalate at midnight. when workers at JFK8 in Staten Island will join in. jacobin.com/2024/12/amazon…


The writer’s intellectual friends in the US prob know less about the Medina Mora family than the average Mexican - all the less for reading his book. Read @VonkLevi’s piece instead if you want to understand the Mex elite (and something of the US elite too)

good luck sustaining a situation in which the majority of your constituency wants one thing while their representatives insist on its opposite and then turning around a year from now to say that what they are being asked to save is democracy


"The rush to attribute the violence to a single unifying motive obscures the truth. It also creates a splintering of identities, where a victim is defined by their race, their gender, their class, or their job — instead of as a whole being." nymag.com/intelligencer/…

The Flattening of the Atlanta Shootings

The desire for a singular narrative hurts, not helps, our understanding of what happened.

Evo should immediately recognize interim government and call for speedy elections.
