before I go to bed, I feel obliged to emphasize how tonight’s rampage in northern Minneapolis was, by no exaggeration, a glorified episode of klan night riding by federally deputized groypers. Yes, DHS always had these people but the difference now is that they’re in charge and with a $175B budget.
oh my god????

Props to the lady giving an interview in her pink UFFDA hat and saying, "well, gosh, I've never had tear gas and flashbangs shot at me, but I'm happy to take it so my neighbors are safe."

Fox is reporting that ICE sent six kids to the hospital, including a baby, just throwing a flashbang at a random car

It's truly stunning (though unsurprising) how little attention national media give Gov. Walz's speeches and news conferences. He's out there declaring his state under siege, and it's not in headlines outside of MN. They'll cover Trump's lies about him endlessly-- but not his actions.

chaos, when it came out that he was a registered sex offender, defended not just his own actions but the entire idea of nonconsensual sex as being fine
a significant fraction of tpot is extremely pro-rape and the correct conclusion to draw from this fact is that you cannot trust them for anything at all theasterisk.substack.com/p/reflecting...

does feel like a lot of american elites do not believe that there *can* be negative consequences for self-destructive or evil acts
assuming the Europeans won't fight back is a giant assumption that i don't think this is born out at all seeing as they're already deploying tripwire forces
If Trump invades Greenland, the Europeans won't fight back, Republicans will defend it, Democrats will issue statements, there will be protests, and most Americans will disapprove of it enough to earn Democrats a bit more of the vote in November. Then on to the next thing.

i would like to highlight the phrase "neighborhood signal chats"
These neighborhood signal chats are absolutely crazy right now. You’ve got young activists in there with the most normie folks alive who all just absolutely fucking hate ICE so much. And they are all willing to put their bodies on the line for their communities.

early 2024 AI absolutely was, but no one knew or apparently cared
Early 2024 AI was no creating CSAM and revenge porn at this rate, so yeah, AI tools have definitely been updated. And my thoughts have updated accordingly.
There is a class of AI critics on this website, typically academics, that speak about the tools like it is early 2024.
I'm not asking you to start liking AI. But you sound ridiculous because you're describing things that no one experiences anymore. Get updated.

I don't know what to say really other than that this is the expected outcome when members of a violent organization gets sent a strong signal that they can hurt people with impunity and no consequences.
We are aware of reports of a shooting involving federal law enforcement in North Minneapolis. We are working to confirm additional details.

I think the only guy to make Montana look anyway near competitive should be given the benefit of the doubt here.
University of Montana President Seth Bodnar is expected to run for U.S. Senate as an Independent, part of an elaborate plan apparently backed by former U.S. Sen. Jon Tester in a move that has angered Democrats.

i think the analytical frame is that Donald Trump's most preferred activity is rape and that the closer an act is to the act of rape the more he desires to perform it
im pretty unflappable but im struggling to even conjure up vocabulary that might be used to credibly analyze this

i am not sure why police killings would radicalize someone towards the ideology whose primary activity is trying to justify the mass murder of civilians
I don't understand why libs haven't radicalized. Like, just the killing of Fernando Castille was enough to radicalize me. You'd figure we'd be pulling in a shitload of newly minted Commie filth.

I think part of the issue was that Jan 6th was incredibly quickly recast as a riot Trump was responsible for with his rhetoric rather then part of an organised coup attempt.
A lot of Americans thought Jan 6th was bad, but not enough of them realised quite how bad it was.

More than an attempted coup, where a mob tried to seize Congress on live television did? There's not going to be an implosion about anything. It's either a slow slide towards oblivion where everything gets incrementally worse as people try to live normally, or a slow grind in the opposite direction.
i feel like if the president actually went through with invading greenland, it would implode America
