“The Godfather and The Godfather Part II are, arguably, the two greatest American films ever made, a portrait of America told from the perspective of outsiders peering in. But that works in large part because we see the Corleones through the eyes of Keaton’s Kay.”

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Story of America: aspiring autocrat runs for POTUS on a platform on hating immigrants and racism. Wins. Attempts a violent self-coup to stay in power. Fails. Is not held to account. Four years later runs again on a platform of more immigrant hating and fascism (revenge on political opponents). Wins.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

So if Russ Vought and Bob Kennedy were deliberately trying on behalf of an enemy to sicken and kill Americans by destroying the public health structure - what would they be doing differently?

I only voted for him because he said immigrants were eating pets and poisoning the blood of our country…how was I supposed to know he’d act like a dictator?

this scandal seems... quaint

The Athletic @theathletic.com · 1d

After calling 15 innings that ended the Tigers’ season, radio voice Dan Dickerson accidentally let his frustration slip into swearing on a hot mic.

He apologized the next day, and fans largely had his back.

I think the strategy needs to be - always tell the truth to your own people. Always. Non-negotiable.

And if you happen to use disinformation to sow discord amongst your enemies... so be it.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.
