Something you notice when you look at this stuff after a while is that the media has an immune system-like response to punish Democrats who land on effective communications strategies so that they won't stick with them bsky.app/profile/eall...
That happened in the case of Biden's campaign circle. They briefly tried punching back, were hit with an avalanche of stories for being out of touch, and quickly pivoted away from that attempt. I personally think they should've dug their heels in, but it was a hostile environment to them.

The concept of this game is so cool even if the execution had issues. I would love a remake with smoother gameplay. And maybe a less visually underwhelming final boss.

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?”
1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore.
2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions.
3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

this is both funny and an extremely harrowing illustration of the lie of fascism and its consequences. they tell you that they can save you and free you, but then you die anyway and everyone's happy you're gone.

From article: "The truth, my experience suggests, is perhaps even scarier: ICE’s recruitment push is so sloppy that the administration effectively has no idea who’s joining the agency’s ranks."
i know this isn't exactly mindblowing but i'm fucking mad that it's easier to become an ice agent than to get a us visa slate.com/news-and-pol...

Calls for civility are often weaponized by abusers, by bigots, by those who would oppress you. If it is considered impolite to speak out against dishonor, then it is time for a true warrior to be rude.

This is an awful idea. I'm probably one of the least "extreme Left" people here and even I think yeah, we need to abolish ICE.

Exactly. Typical swing voters don't sit in the middle and swing from left to right, they swing from one set of incoherent and ill-informed views to another.
Hence lots of Trump voters discovering tariffs in April 2025 and the general dismay with his immigration policies, both of which he ran on.

what they *aren't* is particularly ideologically moderate, that's a self-serving lie from centrists. they much worse than that: ideologically incoherent, against bad stuff and in favor of good stuff hypothetically but with no underlying principles to guide them

New Gallup figures in these charts. Well, so much for that emerging Republican majority people were writing about in November 2024. Was evidently a mass overreaction to Trump's win and failure to acknowledge softness of support, and thermostatic politics www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-win...

one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.
