Imagine if Bob Ferguson and Nick Brown considered it their duty to arrest and prosecute people for making death threats to Washington officials.

The know they should but they're afraid of Trump. They think if they don't antagonize him he will go easy. Bullies don't work like that. We all know it

Everyone is afraid to send state and local police to arrest ICE criminals when they break the law because that could be an escalation that gives Trump the excuse he wants

TRUMP ISN'T WAITING FOR AN EXCUSE

Everyone who capitulated has gotten burned. He will come for you regardless. So fight.

IF AI existed? If?

This machine shit, no. But an overconfident guy, works cheap, and who will happily give you whatever you ask for? As long as you don't mind it's dogshit? That's not new. You could always hire that guy. Really the hard part was not hiring any of those guys to fuck up your project

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Normally that's cute but if the PM meets with Hitler I don't want Adolph walking out of the room thinking he's got a green light for anything.

If you bring your cultural quirks into international politics expecting other cultures to just get you, you're in the wrong business

I believe that ICE are scared. I've seen them out there and they look scared as fuck

Afraid is the normal state for cops everywhere but ICE takes it to a whole other level. Those boys are pissing themselves on their way to work in the morning and only get more scared as the day wears on

They're weirdly consistent. States rights was a rationale for the Civil War while in the very same breath they demanded a federalist enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Act. It was as hypocritical then as now

Remember the ‘states rights’ folks. Where are they now?

Similarly describing him as an "expert on antifa" rather than an "antifascism researcher" further legitimates antifa as a proper noun in a way that makes zero sense
karlbode.com
you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate
NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats"

subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

I don't know what we're expected to do here like if you can't stereotype people then what exactly? Meet them? Talk to them? How does that even work? Humans weren't meant for that.

No thanks I'll find out your birth order and sex and now I'm done I know you. Not race though that's bad

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Trump said antifa was founded during Weimar. How old is this girl?

i wonder if a sufficient number of viable democrats have it in them to effectively counter a narrative of "i am tanking the economy, firing everyone i can, and sending soldiers to push you around if i dont like the way you think, and also lee greenwood is the only music allowed"

Malcolm Gladwell's whole grift is this shit, and establishment media eats up any narrative that sounds "counter intuitive". It's really just ass backwards, but saying so doesn't make them feel smart
