The Democrats rode the largest anti-police movement in HISTORY straight to the White House and then IMMEDIATELY capitulated to the fascists and told the progressives who HANDED THEM their talking points for the presidency to fuck off.

And yall wonder yall losing.

Think about how for decades, one of the ingredients of a crackpot was: retired engineer.

Retired engineers, for *generations* have been a fertile ground for crackpot theories in everything.

They get that golden watch and bam, incoherent manifesto about quantum archeology inbound.

The Atlantic, the NYT, the Post, the Free Press, Persuasion ... god, so many others ... they did it. They participated in the destruction of norms against bigotry & now bigotry is running rampant, out in the open, at the highest levels.

Great work everyone.

Majorities of both chambers did actually say he is. Nor did SCOTUS say otherwise. But that's not how Section 3 is structured anyway. It takes affirmative action by Congress to grant an amnesty, if they want. The disqualification is automatic, on its own terms, and was deliberately written that way.

Jan 6 was perfectly, if unintentionally, calibrated to destroy the States legitimacy while not eliciting the aggresive response it demanded. A weird feedback loop of bloodlessness drawing a too weak and slow pushback that let the narrative be rewritten and the coup leaders escape justice.

In a fight between Pritzker and and police, who is going to win? This is what happens when both parties allowed law enforcement to become one of the most powerful political actors in the country -- a taxpayer-funded political movement that wants to kill people.

I have becoming a creature of pure bitterness over the rejection of the lessons of 2020 coming to bite the democrats. All of this was clear, all out in the open, republicans where never shy about who they are, nor where the police.

The Fraternal Order of Police is on the side of MAGA and against the people they are supposed to be "policing." I think this says a lot to the people who insist local police are going to be "resistance."

They understand, and Biden did not, that the side that starts with command of the security forces and the military has a huge advantage. Their intentions have been obvious since Jan 6 2021 and Biden had four years to deal with the problem. He chose to put us in this position instead.

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

The Mod Team is delerious, each has had at least a pound of pasta. Inebreated they set out to see what else their aliexpress lockpick set can do. Soon they are in the bluesky garage, typically off limits, and are trying to star the lawn mower, the labubu in their hands betrays an awful intent.

The Bluesky Mod Team has picked the lock of the spaghetti closet. Almost a third of the companies pasta holdings are stored inside, more than thirty boxes of spaghetti, linguini and angel hair. This pasta is vital to the continued development of the platform, as the AT protocol is a pasta protocol,

Another cat upgrade is in the works. We got a ton of feedback on the cat and weve addressed the most common issues. First, size. The new cat will be three times as large. Hundred pound cats are now a possibility. Thrice the size, thrice the love. Second, you asked for it, the new cats can HOWL.

One big asymmetry that Dems enable: Republicans attack Dem VOTERS as evil, enemies of the state and now, per Trump, a problem for the military to get rid of. We have one politician who called some of them deplorables and one who said they were weird and people behave as if these are the same

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.

The bizarre phenomenon of the last decade, in which a cabal of RWers, lazy media pundits, and reactionary centrists convinced everyone that the *left* are the censors, that the *left* is coming for your freedom, was always, always, always about softening the ground for fascism.

I believe the reason why @govpritzker.illinois.gov is appearing so impotent right now and appealing via media is because the state national guard and police are more loyal to trump & MAGAfication ideology than their communities, state and people.
