Thank you TCW for this instant classic of Harper’s Letter sophistry, explaining that the categories "right" & "left" are unhelpful in understanding a campaign of kidnappings & assassinations undertaken by an ultra-right wing secret police force at the behest of an ultra-right wing political regime

This is from months ago and nothing is changing and the fundamental problem is clear from watching any state or local elected official at a press conference after the cops fuck up: they are scared shitless of the police they are nominally in charge of.
A lot of blue mayors and governors know the "don't give an order you don't expect to be obeyed" leadership maxim but interpret it as "I guess I can't order the cops to do anything" rather than as a crisis of insubordination.
One thing I have not seen much grappling with: the Trump Administration has acted illegally with respect to the National Guard & Marines in LA plus the whole parade nonsense is a federal show of power, but cops ostensibly controlled by local governments in blue cities attacked protestors yesterday.

there’s really no reason to think anyone who supported anything short of abolishing ice the past ten years isn’t going to go straight back to We Just Need Better Training when a dem is in office again. better to make that politically untenable before the campaigns even officially start

not that long ago there were new videos every day of cops maiming and beating the shit out of protesters with gleeful abandon, and not only did “defund the police” get written off as extreme, joe biden got elected and proudly gave them even more money. it’ll easily happen again

Summarily executing people during traffic stops is as American as apple pie.
It just doesn’t usually happen to white people.

not sure how you can expect to have any credibility if your response to murder by federal agents is arresting protestors and telling them the police are on their side. the democrats like to think their role is to be a heat sink for liberal and leftist anger but eventually that's gonna stop working

What I love about the X-Files is that, while the main characters are FBI Agents, they are repeatedly shown to be very much against the US government - and in many cases actively vocal about how it is harmful. Scully, as I hit season 4, has a great arc of becoming more disillusioned with the system.

I broke the story yesterday that masked ICE agents (not DOJ) were removing items including a personal computer from the home of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot Renee Good. I have yet to see a single news outlet cover this or an elected official even acknowledge it.
NEW: These are ICE agents removing evidence from the shooter's home. They are not DOJ, they are Jonathan Ross's friends and coworkers, not DOJ.
This agent removing Ross's personal computer was reported yesterday Jan 9 for boxing in a volunteer and telling them "I'll dedicate my next arrest to you"

You had 29 people arrested for a noise demo outside a hotel housing ICE agents and the guy that murdered Renee is still walking free you fucking worm.
The Trump admin will tell you ICE is here for safety. That is a lie. They are creating chaos and danger while tearing families apart.
Enough. We want them out.

it's a staggering level of incompetence that the idea to fix LAX, one of the most notorious airports in the world, is to simply build another lane.
it feels like a punchline to a hack joke

LAX should add a fee once the APM opens — make the new intermodal facility, that includes curbside dropoff, free and charge a fee to any vehicle entering the horseshoe.
Better than building the LAX-pressway.

If you are still on twitter, you are not taking the fight to them.
You are helping monetize harassment.
This one is obvious, but all posts help give cover to advertisers and reasons to stay on twitter and expose people to be radicalized.
Get off twitter or just admit what side you are on.

“We’ll Have Our Home” again is a song that’s extremely popular with white nationalists. It’s all over Telegram. I think the first time I heard it was from a video of a secretive group called the Mannerbünd.

You would think that e.g. very obviously assisting a genocide would be at least somewhat problematic but - like everything else here - that comes under the category “sucking up to the White House no matter how horrific it gets”, and is thus excellent.

All Harris had to do was say “yes it’s a genocide and I will work to stop it.”
Sock Puppet Sutcliffe is so close to getting it. Maybe when all the Gazans are in camps in Sudan, their homeland the world's largest golf course, & the rest of MAGAs' enemies, including him, are in camps of our own, the meaning of the words "foreseeable consequences" will finally dawn on him.
Yeah great.
