Will Stancil is becoming my favorite poster
The problem with social media is that you’re only allowed to hold opinions in batches. If you believe X and Y, you must also believe Z, which is atmospherically similar to X and Y and believed by all the same people.
If you don’t do this, everyone hates you. It makes actual thinking impossible.

In Trump's America, "military police are heroic patriots by virtue of being in *his* military police," writes @eggerdc.bsky.social. And the law's only job is "getting out of their way."
Conversely, "people who object to his will—whenever, wherever—are dangerous insurgents who must be rooted out."
