The Greenland fixation feels like a personal insult to anyone who's spent more than about five minutes thinking about national security. "Hey, let's demolish our most valuable alliance so we can get get access to arctic territory we already have access to!"

“democracy simply might not exist without a conservative embrace of democracy. Once democracy is an option, liberals will naturally be in support, but it is bringing the conservative elements of politics into support of democracy that makes democracy possible.”

I thought this was a good piece from Ryan. Democratic (lowercase “d”) electoral competition in America will require a democratic faction to win control of the Republican Party

Here, I lay out the basic case for doing so and give some evidence that it might work.

Ryan Enos @ryanenos.bsky.social · 2d

I know, given the shock of what is going on in Minnesota and elsewhere, might make people wonder what I can possibly be thinking with such a statement, but I think the events make it even more clear: Republicans have to be brought back to supporting liberalism (small l), or we have no path forward.

To understand more about the psychology of ICE's tactics, I recommend The Lucifwe Effect by Zimbardo.

The most chilling thing to read.
“The bottom line is this: When a federal officer gives you instructions, you abide by them and then you get to keep your life,” Representative Wesley Hunt of Texas said on Newsmax."

It's been a long time, but the biggest blowback I ever got in the discipline was for publicly saying we probably shouldn't be using MTurk for data...

Yep, police dress in high visibility in lots of other countries (and some departments in the US) and seem to be just fine. (And, no the added presence of firearms in this country does not justify it).

Ryan Enos @ryanenos.bsky.social · 3d

yea, and compared to now, they were practically equipped with sling-shots.

At some point, we need a major cultural shift, started by legal intervention, in the militarization of the police. Even putting aside the masks, this stuff is needless and odious to democracy.

I always thought the term "cosplaying" was overused until ICE/CBP started showing up everywhere. Look at this guy, does he think it's Fallujah? (It's a high school in Minneapolis).

I encourage you to watch this explanation of events in Minneapolis. ICE was not acting as law enforcement, but as lawless thugs. After the shooting, they stop others from helping, then get in their cars and drive away. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

Video: Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis

An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from — not toward — a federal officer when he opened fire.

This doesn't capture it. Watch the entire thing. It is one of the most jaw dropping disgusting displays of bigotry I have ever seen.

NANCY MACE: Should Somalians in Minnesota be required to speech English if they're citizens?

BALLOU: I think that question is really inappropriate

MACE: Can you name one significant contribution to Minnesota from a Somali immigrant who can't speak English?

This is so incredibly vacuous.

Note that once approval ratings start going down, they trend basically never reverses. Trump will remain politically weak and likely become politically weaker. There is no political downside to opposing authoritarianism.

Even if this were not explicitly prohibited by the United States Constitution, it means we kidnapped Venezuela's President and are now extorting money with the threat of future harm.
