gonna be coming back to this one more than a few times
old Soviet joke for our times:

Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.

Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”

Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”

Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Of what value to the republic are reporters so stupid that it took them over a year longer than the rest of us did to figure out what was going on here
From @brianstelter.bsky.social about the shrinking of the Washington Post.

I know all the reasons we can't have it. I will say it anyway. Pressure campaign on Bezos to create an endowment with his wealth, sell the Post to a nonprofit board, and step away completely. Do one great thing and leave.

they're not afraid to tell the stark truth, they don't want to because it would hurt republicans

people need to stop being naive about this
When the government kills people and tries to cover it up, the news media can’t be afraid to tell us the stark truth.

Your government kills people and tries to cover it up
Journalists shouldn’t trust official accounts when they know the officials are liars

I would advise you to tell people that The New York Times doesn't give a shit about the Epstein files because Dash Sulzberger's dad is in them

I would advise you to make as many of your potential voters as possible aware of who Bari Weiss and David Ellison are NOW so people may have some cognitive defenses up against the content that CBS and TikTok will produce during election season

@scalehelix.net is entirely correct that one of the biggest problems with the Democratic party's media strategy is that they treat news organizations like friends, or at worst neutral parties, instead of like enemies, which is what they are

Most importantly, public opinion on ICE has shifted dramatically.

Democrats aren’t going to vote to fund DHS/ICE. The public doesn‘t approve of masked federal agents murdering American citizens in broad daylight.

The people of Minnesota are showing how it’s done. We can win together.

The Minnesota civil resistance campaign has been remarkably successful:

- The GOP governor candidate dropped out
- Numerous DOJ officials resigned
- GOP members of Congress are speaking out; business feels pressure
- Noem has been relieved of operational responsibility

The campaign is winning.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

Because we're all trapped in the event horizon of the 2016 primary we have to pretend that "universal healthcare", something that every Democratic administration has worked to expand since Truman, is something that "liberalism" has fought against, instead of a bog-standard part of the platform.

Their entire worthless existence is built around climbing to the top of this hierarchy of domination. They want to find weaker people to hurt, so they can be strong. Bovino and Miller lust for it.

And now they're on top and it's all turning to ash and they do not and can not understand how.

This is why they're here. I've had this discussion many times with neighbors.

They're here because they're cowards who'd run and hide if they encountered someone stronger, with more guns, who could kill them.

They expected us to do that, and don't understand why we don't.

And now they're stuck.
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

Hurting people is easy. It's lazy. Anyone can do it with the right tools and the wrong morals.

Protecting people is hard. It takes restraint and courage and empathy. They will never have that. So they can never win, in the end. Minneapolis will win.

part of why we are driving ICE absolutely mad is that we are using tactics that do not really permit them to legally arrest us. they cannot operate the way they want to operate when we have eyes on them.

they want to be a secret police and we simply will not let them be secret

The reason why they're still pressing ahead is not because they have some secret plan, but the pretty classic Umberto Eco fascist-folly - because of their ideology they are "constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy."

Minneapolis is going to win. Can’t you feel it?

They have no support, even the most timid equivocators are quietly shuffling out the back door. All they have is guns. They can hurt us and they can threaten us but there is no road to victory for them.

It’s a quagmire and they’re suffocating in it

This was just me making this comparison yesterday, but today the Korean news is calling Minnesota "America's Gwangju" and have human rights lawyers explaining how America is now living through the dictatorship Korea once had.
The Chun regime that my wife fought against in the 80s did the exact same thing. They needed a "crisis" that "only they could solve" to hoard more ill-gotten power, so they chose one city (Gwangju), declared its inhabitants enemies, sent trucks full of soldiers to violently attack and kill them.

that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps
And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."
