I dislike when people reduce important, history-making moments in modern life to pop culture references.
But also fuck it, this is a super great time to rewatch Andor.

I've been feeling numb all day, but that statement from the Pretti family kind of broke me.

Guys nothing personal but if you rub your a.i. generated anti-ICE, anti-Trump memes in my face I gotta unfollow and mute you and also you’re dead to me.
It’s the sewage that fascism both shits and eats, it’s like blowing smoke in my face to show me how evil the tobacco companies are.

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street
Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara says that the victim was a 37-year-old white man and US citizen with no criminal record and that he was a legally permitted gun owner.

People are definitely setting up a barricade of trash cans and this couch, in the middle of the street where ICE is.
"That's my couch," said a woman standing nearby. "It's been on my porch for four years because it won't fit up the stairs. My neighbor will be pleased it's gone now."

Last night in a weird bout of anxiety I deleted a bunch of news/political reblogs, and then this morning I woke up and ICE has shot someone else to death.
And now I get to go to the post office to start asking why I never got the ballot that was supposedly delivered to me on Thursday.

There's nothing quite like trying to reach out to a company about a problem with an expensive purchase and getting an instantaneous response from a shitty AI system that understands nothing.

Tonight: overheard a group of guys, dressed like they were straight out of the bro cliche catalog (baseball caps and all), discussing such things as guns, beer, and griping about child support.
People are distressingly predictable. And often simply distressing.

hey I like that we're all posting thru it but I also wanted to say, in case anybody else is feeling it, that I'm pretty scared and genuinely think that we've passed a real rubicon in the past week or so and that being at the mercy of a handful of dumbfuck lunatics really does a number on your soul.

Have seen many variations of this & broadly agree—but the part that struck me in the moment wasn’t “this is a microcosm for how America sucks” — it was “this is a microcosm for trying to behave democratically & respectfully of one another in a complex, evolving situation with things we can't know.”
i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory

never forget: you're dealing with the state that captured a confederate flag during the american civil war and has been saying "oh you want it back? come get it then lol" ever since
Folks, if you know any Minnesotan, you'll know that many of us will bring up Minnesota and Minnesota things at every possible opportunity. If we manage to ride out military occupation, we're going to be absolutely insufferable for the next 20 years. Think about what you're risking here.
