    No, you’re not supposed to feel guilty or get emotional about it. You’re supposed to realize you live in a fundamentally racist society, one that is as physically segregated as it was in the 1950s. And you’re supposed to rationally accept that people of different skin colors fundamentally do not have the same opportunities. You’re not supposed to get your panties in a knot about what is otherwise a very straightforward problem of resource allocation.






  • Nah. I don’t think we should prosecute them. SCOTUS will just find a way to get them off the hook. Or most likely, Trump will issue a blanket pardon for them all on the way out the door.

    Instead, I’m thinking more internationally. These folks like deporting people right? Well what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Well think of all the human rights abuses happening in ICE facilities right now. If a Venezuelan national dies due to neglect in an ICE facility, that represents a crime against a citizen of Venezuela, a crime that can be prosecuted in Venezuela.

    I propose that we simply extradite ICE agents to the countries of their victims. Let them face justice there.


  • The quickest way to purge the party of the corporate Dems is to get a progressive elected as president. Look at how radically Trump has reshaped the Republican party. A president popular among their party has the ability to completely reshape the policy direction of a party. Trump radically reshaped the Republican party, and the Democratic party is still in the form that it was shaped by the Clintons during the 90s. Trump remade the party in his image. AOC would do the same for the Democratic party.
