As the Trump admin predictably rolls the National Guard into the streets and a Republican army of enablers roots for military violence against Americans, some words on why, and the way forward.

I feel like a couple of people last week said the temperatures over the weekend would break these clowns. Turns out it was both the temperature in the air and the temperature in the streets.
BREAKING: Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino and some agents are expected to leave Minneapolis tomorrow, an AP source says.

This reminds me how little fake Melania we’ve gotten this time around. It’s as if they’re spending all this time on crimes and pedophile coverups and violent oppressive racism that they forgot what the people really want—multiple versions of the First Lady in public because Trump is so repulsive.

You win your division for a guaranteed home playoff game and home field advantage. You try to get the one seed for home field throughout the playoffs, not so you can force your fans to spend even more money to go to Arizona and give up HFA. People hate this argument because it is dumb.
Everyone hates the idea of neutral-site conference championship games. Until the fourth quarter of Patriots-Broncos, which was unplayable -- and unwatchable.
Should conference championships be played at neutral sites?
Patriots-Broncos snowstorm could dust off an old debate.

Thing is, part of the reason they went to Minnesota is because Trump felt like he lost to the protests over George Floyd because he wasn’t violent enough. And for someone as racist and insecure as him, he was always going to take the opportunity for a rematch.
If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

Although guns have been a part of US culture from the beginning, modern right-wing gun culture is downstream of the industry's need for profit, and they do that by selling a fantasy of right-wing violence against left wingers, Pretti doesn't fit that fantasy bsky.app/profile/hcom...

“If your state doesn’t help us we will be forced to murder its citizens” is an argument that only works on people who are already subnormal bootlickers.
Blanche: "Remember, what we all saw in that 10 or second video is not the full story. Every American should know that. The story goes way beyond that. It starts with the fact that literally for months we have received 0 assistance from the state of Minnesota."

As your disability advocate friend, I will be the first with serious sensory sensitivity to say that I would rather be in pain than someone get abducted, or shot.
Block/mute this argument, it's an op.

I’ll be shocked if he’s even aware that Trump’s shock troops have made it to Minneapolis at all. He doesn’t see a lot of the news dontchaknow.
Today we will find out that Mike Johnson knows nothing about the shooting in MN.

Courage is largely a product of empathy, which they deride as a weakness.
I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage

after what happened with Twitter I’m deeply skeptical people will abandon a social network they’re invested in over an ownership change but if they really are immediately censoring TikTok in a notable way in the aftermath of a radicalizing event there’s a chance they actually fuck up this transition
This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.
Well, here’s a link:
