I know people are going to try to argue this is meaningless and libs are morons for falling for it but when fascism takes a step back it loses the aura of invincibility it needs to force compliance in advance.
it's a victory though. these guys hate to lose and he lost. it's just not a sign they are giving in yet, either.

One of my most deeply held beliefs is that refusing to name truth makes you stupid--literally degrades your intellect.

I will say the murders in Minnesota have been a bracing reminder that bypassing gatekeepers is good, actually. Without citizen journalists documenting these atrocities and sharing them we would be entirely at the mercy of media bothsidesism.

More grist for my theory that about 30% of people are irredeemable reactionaries and the US's problem is that our system gives them more or less permanent structural power to rule the rest of us.
It's worth remembering that even AFTER Nixon resigned, roughly 30% of Americans thought he'd been treated very unfairly and was the victim of a left wing "witch hunt" coordinated by Democrats and a liberal media who hated the "real Americans" in the "silent majority." bsky.app/profile/seth...
Flashback to June of 1974 when a New York Times reporter went to an almost entirely white, upper-middle class retirement community in Orange County, Ca to see what folks thought of the ongoing investigation of Nixon. What they heard might ring some bells.

Some history from a historian.
Following the Kent State massacre in May 1970, a Gallup poll showed that 58% of Americans thought the shootings were justified. The night *before* the killings, Ohio's GOP governor described the student protesters this way: "They're the worst type of people that we harbor in America."

Look, I'm glad we're having a conversation about the hypocrisy of the legal logic used by America's gun nuts. But can we stop pretending this is a new thing? They have never advocated for universal access to firearms. They only want their team to be armed. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Conservatives, liberals shift gun rights arguments after shooting
Some gun rights backers cite Alex Pretti’s gun as a justification for his killing in Minneapolis, while gun-control supporters dismiss its relevance.

Thread on the Boston Massacre and the rule of law. Not only did Patriot leader John Adams sign up as a lawyer to defend the offending British soldiers, but the occupying British leaders agreed that a trial should happen there in Boston.
Almost 256 years ago, when British soldiers were occupying a city that was restless in their presence but still firmly part of the empire, a confrontation ended in the shooting death of five people, with 6 more wounded. This offset image of the Boston Massacre is so evocative. 1/
