I went on Substack to suggest to Simon Rosenberg that there might be some valid reasons for Minneapolis activists to be suspicious of Dem party fundraising. Ooof.

My first live broadcast reporting starts with a bang.
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just launched flash bang grenades at protesters in front of federal building in Minneapolis—causing massive explosions. "It's terrorizing, this isn't the America I served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy," tearful protester tells us.

We should stop referring to what ICE agents wear as “masks,” as it feeds into stigmatization and actual legislation to ban face-masks, including respirators. ICE agents technically do not wear masks; they wear neck gaiters. However we should refer to them as what they actually are: hoods

This is pretty good. So heavy-handed it’ll leave a bruise, but if you’re in the mood for a gloriously smug, anti-AI rant (and you probably are), you’ll dig it.
Also, five minutes of Tom Conti!

The "ICE is using military tactics suited for a warzone, not for American streets" rhetoric kinda misses the point that warzones are not naturally occuring. The US military creates war zones from residential neighborhoods and the tactics are not more justifiable just because it's overseas

People should Have a Good Time watching sports, but if I can hear you screaming from three apartments away, you need a tranquilizer dart to the neck. Fuck the Seahawks based solely on the guy in 306.

Straight men — who I like a lot, don’t get me wrong — almost invariably say “buddy” instead of “friend.” And almost always without the article. “Buddy of mine eats surströmming.” “Buddy of mine was convinced of involuntary manslaughter.” Whatever.
Why? Is “friend” too smoochy and soft?
