Well this is new
Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE:

"No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested".

"Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

saving private ryan actually did a good job on this
pretty much every pop work of art of the post-Star Wars era misses this. there is always a spark of hope that you can convert them back to the light. no. incorrect. you just shoot them in the head
It’s a waste of time convincing oppressers that they’re in the wrong

politician: “the desire to violently seize territory is abominable. it is not who we are”

me, a pedantic motherfucker who values looking cool more than fighting blatant evil and injustice: “maybe not who we are ANYMORE, idiot”

THE OLYMPICS: OK Italy, we're giving you 2026, can you pull it off?
ITALY: Yes, we just have to build one arena, very easy, the easiest of any Olympics

(2026)

THE OLYMPICS: OK we're here! how is that one arena looking?
ITALY: (sitting at a cafe, reading a newspaper) mi scusi????
You say "all the venues" but this is basically the only new venue they needed to build. Everything else was existing or temporary.

The Italians couldn't build one (1) arena on time, when they had about 7 years to plan.
if you're surprised to learn that the Winter Olympics are just a month away, don't worry, you're not alone, the people building all the venues in Italy also appear to be surprised the Olympics are just a month away

Software engineers are losing their minds over Claude Code and agents.
Campaigns shouldn’t shrug. The story isn't “AI can code”, it's AI can do knowledge work, and campaigns are mostly knowledge work.

Campaigns Are Knowledge Workers and the Tools Just Caught Up
Agentic AI can change campaign operations. The organizations that outlast November need to lead.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

Videos Show How ICE Vehicle Stops Can Escalate to Shootings
A WSJ visual investigation found that the Minneapolis ICE killing is one of 13 incidents where federal immigration agents have used deadly force against civilians in vehicles since July.

It's not an excuse, but it is worth remembering that mayors in most cities very much do not have control over their police departments if the mayor doesn't like something the cops want to do, a phenomenon that would be a red alert civ-mil alarm with the military but something we all accept w/cops

it is rational behavior once you realize that the marginal value of a billion and one dollars is actually zero relative to one billion dollars, whereas sexual access to one's subordinates is something they highly value
I also previously thought amoral but rational capitalists used rubes by cynically deploying vicious / silly right wing ideologies. But I now think I underestimated how many true believers there are, some of the previously rational got internet brain poison, and there's been change in who's in power.
i had sincerely thought that sexism was a dying prejudice because, in all honesty, up until 2025 i also sincerely believed on at least some level that powerful capitalists with rational but amoral priorities controlled everything and understood the value women bring to the workforce

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

I mentioned this in another post about the dreyfus affair. Basically french govt wrongly persecuted a jewish officer for selling secrets (he didn't). But like a defining part of it was everyone in the elite picks a side and starts saying shit and that feels clearly like where we are
Meanwhile, look at this subheader

i know people like to clown on this place for some of the absurd behavior witnessed on here but it really doesn’t hold a candle to tiktok, where some random guy with a large following is claiming that i stole “abolish ICE” from him, and that no one had said it prior to like 2024.

rw press is using the fact that the shooter, an immigration officer, is married to a much younger recent Filipino immigrant whom he apparently met in the Phillipines as proof that he is not a racist. that is not what i would determine from that fact pattern. i would FOIA 911 calls at his address.

So to return to this: Mussolini had 200,000 blackshirts for the March on Rome in a country of ~35m. Hitler had 400,000 brownshirts in 1932 in Germany for a population of ~60m.

So around 0.6% of the population.

0.6% of 340m Americans is just over 2 million.

They do not have enough goons.
In 1932, on the eve of seizing power, the Nazi goon army - the Sturmabteiling or SA - numbered 400,000 members. By 1933, it was over two *million.*

DHS has 240,00 employees and lot of those are non-goons who have, you know, real jobs.

boy yeah it sure was super bad for clinton to describe the avowedly illiberal and violent and chauvinist elements behind MAGA as deplorable. she definitely should feel bad about that. i’m glad so many men in journalism have made sure to keep banging the drum on that.

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.
