I will say gently: every famous counter sit-in from the Civil Rights era was a crime.
Nonviolent civil disobedience is quite literally and explicitly a strategy where you commit crimes.

I'm sorry, I'm lol'ing hard at "crime he disapproves of." As if some crimes are perfectly fine and okay.
Yeah, go ahead and set the city on fire. Just like Trump and Steven Miller want to see happen. Play right into their hands!
This is so stupid.

They should invent police that investigate rich people crimes instead of poor people crimes.
They should invent laws that rich people have to follow.

I love the story of the french prime minister whose wife and mistress sat next to each other at his funeral.
Imagine how bad you have to be for the French to investigate you as a sex pervert.

And has sex with her. Also widely known.
Yup; Lewandowski runs DHS for Noem, it’s widely known.
"The email also revealed a rather bizarre chain of command, with Bovino saying he reported to Noem’s aide, Corey Lewandowski..."

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

This is exactly what I said they were doing.
Interesting follow up from Phil Gordon, former senior aide to President Biden on MENA and the National Security Advisor to Kamala Harris, where he says that *technically* Biden didn't violate the law because Biden's lawyers did not determine that he broke the law.

Its not COVID, its China's economy. Westerners are freaking about losing dominance.
The narrative that the ruling class "went insane" during COVID was apparently not totally accurate. In actuality, they all believed that the Me Too movement killed their beloved pedophile fixer and lockdown just delayed them eventually punishing us all for it.

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza.
We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

One of the things bothering me about how people are responding to the Epstein files is that there are tons of conspiracies being created and spread about what’s in them, rather than people just believing the victims like they could have been doing for years now

I can confidently report that this is all universally taught, fbi or not. To get my conceal permit i had to take a class and this was repeated several times.
Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Hello old friend. Is has been a while.
I can’t even begin to describe what it was like playing this game for the first time in 1996 following 15 years of playing games on a 2D plane. I think it’s nearly impossible to grasp how mind blowing it was unless you were there.

The US government, both Dems and Reps, are afraid of children protesting and we've known this since the Palestine protests. Its why the forced the sale of TikTok to a US government approved buyer.
ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

This is basically my criticism of IR Realists. They are fundamentally immoral people who insist that because they are immoral, everyone else inevitably must be as well and therefore it is logical and necessary to be immoral. Its a tautology seeking to justify ends by ignoring means.
There's a fascinating passage in Black Reconstruction before Du Bois launches into a discussion of black military participation in the civil war. He notes that as more of the men were called off to war, often slaves were operating essentially unguarded on plantations with only women and children...

What are we fighting for? A "return to normal"? Really, I don't think "normal" was good enough, though a lot of us didn't see its flaws when we had it. Because it led to our present situation. But also because it was already causing wars, poverty, climate change, and other unnecessary ills.
