White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

Ultimately, the death of US manufacturing is about this attitude. It's easy to say "buy american or stfu" because virtue signaling is free. But it's hard to actually sustain a business because many Americans simply don't want to pay what it costs to produce things ethically in this country

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Police in the US are comparable to the Iraqi Hashd ash Shaabi/PMU. Ostensibly part of a state security service run by elected civilian leadership, but in practice serve as an independent paramilitary completely unaccountable to civilian democratic control.

The beloved Saleh Al-Jafarawi has been murdered. We are absolutely devastated. For 2 years he reported on the genocide of his people, just for him to be murdered during the ‘ceasefire’

I know it's basically just bait so whatever but if you use "thought police" unironically you should be forced to sit in a corner without your phone for a full hour

Sally Jenkins post with a link to whatever awful Atlantic piece about Bari Weiss reading "Ratio me. Please. It's a badge of honor. If you don't like a link, go follow some chicken-heart who needs the approval of the thought-police. Caitlin Flanagan of
@theatlantic.com
is a tremendous writer and this piece is an excellent read. "

I deliberately delayed the release of my album so as not to clash with the recent Taylor Swift release. I only have 3 listeners on Spotify, but you never know. Just takes one to catch fire.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

At least in the historical record of the 21st century (or post 9/11), the Democratic Party’s main objection *has* been the tone/tenor of immigration enforcement. Obama was the Deporter in Chief until the second Trump administration, the numbers don’t lie.

good hyuck, babe! @markpopham.bsky.social · 15h

what is the official Democratic Party response to the violent detention and deportation of undocumented immigrants. what is it. what do we find officially objectionable about what is going on - that they're being too mean about it, that they're being sloppy?

Pritzker should be held responsible for the police nominally under his control; that being said, this is going to be a problem for every politician you try to sell us on as a savior. Because everyone of them, and many of their supporters, refuses to actually confront what the police are doing.

Reading Kurt Vonnegut was one of the better decisions I made when I was seventeen

Photo of a page in Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. My thumb is visible on the left. It says:

The founders were aristocrats, and they wished to show off their useless education, which consisted of the study of hocus-pocus from ancient times. They were bum poets as well.

But some of the nonsense was evil, since it concealed great crimes. For example, teachers of children in the
United States of America wrote this date on blackboards again and again, and asked the children to memorize it
with pride and joy:

1492

The teachers told the children that this was when their continent was discovered by human beings. Actually, millions of human beings were already living full and imaginative lives on the continent in 1492. That was simply the
year in which sea pirates began to cheat and rob and kill them.

video of people being snatched by ICE at a laundromat shows an intersection between housing and immigration enforcement. if your unit and building don't have (working, available) laundry, that's one more errand where you have to spend significant time in potentially vulnerable public space
