The difference between the French and Americans in two headlines. 😆

Sorry @alecluhn.bsky.social

CBS NEWS headline:

Cyclist falls down 130-foot ravine in France, survives 3 days by drinking wine he had in shopping bag

CNN headline:

Stranded and injured, he drank his own urine to survive in the wild. Here's how an American hiker made it home

“Every time I asked what would happen to my children, or if they could have something to eat, they hit us. They told me I did not matter. They told me my children did not matter,” Jaramillo-Solano told the resource center.

Advocates: ICE kept Durango family in windowless room with only chips and water after mistaking father for someone else

Masked federal agents pulled Fernando Jaramillo-Solano over after mistaking him for someone else, but arrested him and his two kids anyway, advocates say

Kevin Roberts put a big flashing sign on himself reading "I'm a Nazi thug excited to use violence to crush people who disagree with me" last year when he said, "This is a Second American Revolution and it will be bloodless if the Left allows it to be."

IOW Submit to the Fuhrer or else.

As the Trump regime continues to crumble in just under a year, his most rabid followers - ICE, DHS, Border Patrol - are going to grow increasingly violent in an effort to stave off the accountability which will follow the regime's complete collapse.

From an interview I did with an Evanston man who filmed the incident at Oakton/Asbury today:

From an Evanston resident filming an arrest at Oakton/Asbury ~an hour ago:

"He was being very violent with her, I said ‘You got to stop that,’ and he said, ‘Step back or I’ll fucking shoot you.‘ I step back, and then I continue to record, at which point he turned around and pointed a gun at me.”

For six months I read document after document unpacking how Princeton got involved in a set of private fossil fuel investments. Read about it from Princeton’s editorially independent alumni magazine here:

I love bragging about @votersoftomorrow.org, but our California, New York, and Virginia chapters deserve a massive shoutout.

They’re running through the finish line to pass Prop 50, elect Zohran Mamdani, and elect Abigail Spanberger. Couldn’t be prouder of all their work.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

This is why the right is currently blaming hungry people for needing food assistance or immigrants while worshipping a serial abuser. And why so much of the right's rhetoric & harm mirrors that of a domestic violence situation.

If you don't understand punching up vs down, won't identify power dynamics, you'll flatten situations & find those seeking liberation disruptive, even aggressive. The conservative sees the powerless as the cause of societal ills & those with power as the norm, the winners. So do abuse apologists.

The progressive understands the existence of powerless is an indictment of the system that needs reform/eradication & power needs to be challenged. So do advocates for abuse victims.

If you neutralize abuse, erase power dynamics, you will likely find yourself often on the side of abusers. Politics works similarly. Even if you're a sports team voter, your values will align with power & result in voting for the more conservative person/policies.

One thing MAGA has helped me understand is that if you don't understand abuse, your politics are shit. Because to understand abuse dynamics, you have to understand power dynamics, and to have humane politics, you have to understand power dynamics.

It's truly fascinating how white men with high opinions of themselves are apparently so rare & sacred in politics we must sacrifice anything & everything to protect these priceless treasures. We have no choice, there are literally no other options.

Absolutely not. Dick is not a finite resource. This is not a scarcity issue.

The same can be said for politicians. Why on EARTH would you vote for someone who you already have to make excuses for? He bulldozes homeless encampments, or has a couple Nazi tattoos? Having standards is a good thing.
