Reading this, I'm seeing something I call the swerve
there are people, usually with a high level of in-born privilege, who *will not see certain things.* They just *won't.* And if you put it in front of their faces they will do ANYTHING to insist it's not there.
Klein keeps swerving.

It is incredibly disrespectful to call "bella ciao" a groyper meme. It is not and never has been. I'm sorry, but groypers aren't the only people who play HOI and, frankly, HOI is not the only way someone who is online could learn about bella ciao.

Did the White House order this individual’s arrest?
Update: DHS — whose officers conducted this detention — did not answer questions. It instead directed us to the White House.
NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

I think its also; it can happen here, and if it does it will suck, but the bad guys can lose, and there will still be a surviving american spirit to document and process the experience.
which may be both overly cynical and overly naive but its not a bad message.

If we’re going to boil down the movie that much, it wasn’t “war is bad,” it was “it can happen here.”
Maybe you accept that it could—and if it does it’ll look like that messy societal breakdown, not a two sided affair like the in 1860s—but many Americans and America-observers do not.

Q: Can you assure the world that as you try to get control of areas like Greenland or Panama you are not gonna use military or economic coercion?
TRUMP: No. I can't assure you. I'm not going to commit to that. It might be that you'll have to do something.

This is such an important point. Progressives used to understand that the battle for constitutional meaning took place outside as much as (or more than) inside the courts. We need to get back to that.

Hell Gate is on the scene at the protest of Amazon union members at the distribution center in Maspeth.
Just moments ago, NYPD officers pulled an Amazon worker out of his car after he stood up out of his seat and attempted to join the strike.

yah the sitting president firebombing the credibility of the justice dept is actually bad, who knew.
Asked about the Hunter Biden pardon, the mayor pulls out a copy of The New York Times and reads a line about how Biden and Trump agree: the Justice Department is politicized. "I rest my case," the mayor says.

fondly recalling how after Jan 6 Congress went home for a long weekend, didn't start impeachment proceedings for a week, which then took another month
It took only ~2.5 hrs for the National Assembly to gather a majority of members (190 of 300) and generate a unanimous vote (190 of 190) to vote down the emergency martial law. The law says the president "shall comply" with parliament's vote, but doesn't specify a time frame.

If we want better fashion culture in the US, we have to lower the cost of housing and commercial real estate, support independent craftspeople, build denser neighborhoods, improve walkability, and get rid of overly restrictive zoning laws. Let kook culture thrive.

people are like omg its the puuuurge and its not its the day of the rope
Donald Trump mused on Sunday about “one really violent day” as an answer to what he has described as a plague of unchecked property crime in U.S. cities. The FBI last week reported a decline in property crime in 2023.
Trump Says ‘One Really Violent Day’ Would End Property Crime
The remarks were the latest example of his praise for executive power and force in imposing order, this time over crimes the F.B.I. said last week were falling.
