Just realized I never did a December AMA, so firing up the January one 🤪
Only at-most-37 months left in Donald Trump's presidency.
AMA! Q&A will be added to the thread as quote-skeets

IIRC, he got barred in a state that wasn't his, largely for spite.

I have to admit I am tacitly pleased that my entire dnd group is basically "yo fuck this" on the community discord
My buddy's 15 year DnD group is imploding because a couple of the long time players are defending the ICE murders and everyone else is appalled. This is a red line for normal people in a "get the fuck out and never talk to me again" way. The evil and injustice is instantly recognizable.

it shouldn’t matter at all what the background of someone murdered by fascists is
“he was no angel” is horrible, bigoted bullshit
but it does affect people’s perception and they fucked up really really bad here because they appear to have shot an actual saint

By Saturday afternoon, some Trump admin. personnel had already begun scouring the internet and other resources trying to find information on Alex Pretti, including social media posts, that could tie him to what Team Trump call “extremists,” two sources familiar with the matter tell @zeteo.com …
New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues.
Cheerful. Funny. Gentle.
And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

heaps of "I don't usually post about politics here, but Pretti and Good should still be alive". even some clever soul posting AI B2B SaaS copypasta (which does get uptake in the algorithm) along with the statement by Pretti's parents as the main image associated with it, so it doesn't downrank.

bovino aside (and this is a great way of getting his ass), taking perjury by government agents seriously would be an enormous improvement on our current justice system

I think it is important that Greg Bovino, personally, is prosecuted for what he has done and continues to do in service of all of this
Bovino shamelessly lies: "This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement"

“Prosecuting?” “No, no persecuting.”
I will immediately resign from my corporate gig and take the attendant pay cut if a future D POTUS offers me a DOJ spot persecuting members of this Administration
Honestly a federal commission with prosecutorial authority paired with stripping immunity from ICE officers would be a huge wombo combo

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.
This is one that stands out:

If the federal government won't even tell us who the murderers are, then we treat all of them as murderers.

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all:
The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files

"Abolish ICE" is very literally the moderate position
YouGov is out with a new poll after ICE killed another person in Minnesota today. Abolishing ICE is now +5 among all adults, and **+12 among independents**

I know it’s cliche but it’s literally true: we are the politicians’ bosses. We can fire them and we can tell them what conditions we require for them to keep their jobs. It has ever been thus. Make them understand we’re not asking, we’re telling.
Citizens are in the driver's seat now imho. It's cool if some politicians are quicker on the uptake than others but they are following us now, I'm not waiting for them anymore

They would have so many applications flood in for these positions the email servers would self-immolate. It's like when the FBI is raiding a true scumbag's place and there are like 50 agents on the lawn just to be there. I'll cart bankers' boxes just to see Greg Bovino at the defendant's table.
