I should go into crisis PR so I can pick up the phone once a week and say “oh my god no don’t do that what’s wrong with you” and then cash a check

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Between this and the story about the ice agents who ate at a Mexican restaurant and then arrested some of its workers when they were done, it's a reminder that these people reject even the most basic social agreements of hospitality and of helping others. They're sociopaths.

You ever stop and think about CASABLANCA? You ever stop and think about "Welcome back to the fight, this time, I know our side will win?" You ever think about a bar full of people defiantly singing La Marseillaise, played by a soundstage full of Jewish refugees? You ever think about CASABLANCA??????

I think about how when they sang La Marseillaise they were still in the midst of a war they did not know they were going to win.

There are three legs of media distrust
1) News outlets are owned by plutocrats
2) plutocracy has no interest in a well informed electorate
3) a media class more interested in affluence and access than journalistic integrity

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

There are far more voters than ICE agents. People should plan to stay at their polling place all day. Make it a party. Meet your neighbors. Talk politics. Gather food trucks. Make it a safe place for voters who are nervous. ICE agents always back off when they are outnumbered.

If you’re bold enough to spell out slurs at a school event you should be exposed. They’re seniors and they rearranged the letters to spell out the F word slur.

I mean, the frustrating thing about guys like TCW is that they believe themselves to be hyper-sophisticated and see people like me — I mean, and literally me of course — as engaged in “oversimplification.” But, like, I have read those works and more! I am very familiar with this literature!

The biggest problem here is he treats maga's whitewashing of slavery as a reaction to the overreach of the 1619 Project. The truth is that maga embraces racism bc it is a racist movement, not bc of anything the left did

the other bizarre thing about this is that it treats American slavery — a social, cultural, political and economic institution — as somehow beyond and outside of politics, and thus untethered to contemporary political questions. which, again, the mind of a simpleton. bsky.app/profile/mich...

i have said this before but among chatterton’s many problems as a “thinker” is that he doesn’t
believe the political right has any agency or history. everything in his mind is a function of the summer of 2020. history begins and ends there. it is the perspective of a simpleton.
