When I was in high school I did a constitutional debate program and witnessed this exchange:
JUDGE: what’s your favorite amendment?
KID: the third
JUDGE: why the third?
KID: because if there’s soldiers in your house, the other ones really don’t matter
BORN READY FOR 2026

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy
Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

The Trump Administration has for quite a while now clearly considered the constitution not in force. The national media and Democratic politicians need to get it through their heads that this is the case and actually talk about bringing back the rule of law and what it would take to do that.
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

I use subtitles because I sometimes can't tell what people are saying even when it's clearly audible; other than that my main hearing problems are that I have lost much more…

I watched a YouTube video yesterday where I'm 100% sure the subtitles were just the automatic captions lightly edited for timing and placement on the screen
and like 80% of the time they were fine, but the 20% of the time where they were gibberish were critically important and I don't know how…

Part of the problem is it constructs grammatically correct wrong transcriptions that bear almost no resemblance to what was said and so you can't even guess what the commentators were actually saying.

I don't think men realize how scary being hit on by men can be. Like there is nothing wrong with me being attracted to women but it is so scary not knowing how a man is going to act. It also often feels so dehumanizing when men do it.

A thing I noticed watching the national championship game with my dad who turned the subtitles on was that the AI subtitles for sporting events are horrifyingly bad. It would be pretty difficult to get anything useful out of the commentary if you were hearing impaired.

You know how nonconsensual surgery on intersex kids is literally just the exact shit that transphobes are claiming to be against, but every anti-trans bill specifically makes sure those can continue? Yeah, that's not ignorance, that's deliberate. Every fascist accusation is a confession.

Right now I think two things we need to demand from the media and politicians are: That they acknowledge that the authoritarian right has fully rejected traditional institutions, they do not feel bound by the constitution; and that traditional institutionalism is no longer viable.
It may be you need more than that, but I think at least three for sure. And I don't think they really break down along traditional left right lines. I think there's kind of three dominant groupings right now in US politics: authoritarian nationalists, traditional institutionalists, and revisionists.
