My 7yo daughter’s best friends’ family fled the country a few weeks ago. Today she came home with a drawing of her and another friend blowing whistles at ICE agents.
“We’re blowing the whistles and so ICE will go away and our friends can come back,” she said.
I started sobbing uncontrollably.

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

Every violent act of ICE/CBP agents has precedent in police violence. What we’re witnessing IS an extreme escalation but it is NOT an aberration. It is in historical continuity with settler colonialism, slave patrols, eugenics, police brutality. Cops kill over 1,000 people in the U.S. every year.

There’s a growing belief in the industry that home computers are redundant, and we should move to dumb terminals with memory and processing and AI assistance existing server-side.
It’s the Enclosure Movement for home computing.

One of the reasons they're having trouble concocting a Left Wing Terrorism epidemic is basically nobody in this country has ever met a left wing person. You might as well say we're being invaded by the smurfs

The thing is people really want others to regret standing against a genocide and that’s never going to happen. You’ll never get moral absolution. You’ll either recognize your mistake or you’ll spend the rest of your life struggling with the cognitive dissonance of what you were willing to accept

The richest man in the world being a Nazi and at the right hand of the fascist President is maybe the most potent lesson in the evils of capitalism and the lengths that the ruling class will go to hoard their wealth and keep their power.

misinformation is a very real issue, the problem was it was folded into a power-flattering pseudo epistemology where only grimy foreigners and YouTubers were capable of doing it when some of the biggest promoters of misinformation are the NYT and Atlantic. This bred cynicism and indifference.
Still wild to me that so many "savvy" folks on left and right have bought into the idea that online misinformation is overblown and doesn't really matter. From lies about migrants to transgender people to crime to election denial to climate denial, it's literally driving our country's politics.

"There were outside agitators" is just a fairy tale for the audience so they never have to wrestle with the moral stain of cheering on the brutalization of peaceful protesters. It's what you'd tell a child, on the level of "oh no, Batman never *kills* anyone"
