Like many of my generation, I was raised on copaganda that glamorized police misconduct as necessary and beneficial.
I haven't counted, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it's the most successful sub-genre of U.S. television in my lifetime.

My hot take is that the reason GOP men don't want anyone transitioning is that they don't want to question their sexuality if they're attracted to trans women, and since increasingly they're defending pedophilia, they don't want to question their sexuality if they're attracted to trans girls either.

Trump and his gang are deconstructing America. This is their purposeful goal and an obvious one, if you look past the daily barrage of absurdity, indecency, corruption, wrongdoing, and abuses of power.
It is the story that must be conveyed to the citizenry.

I think we won’t really free up the space to imagine a way out of American fascism until people grasp this: most of what the “opposition party” has to offer them is their preferred actors for state violence

Sometimes, that bootlicker toad was the 2024 Democratic candidate for Vice President and is current (lame duck) Governor of Minnesota.
Every once in a while some bootlicker toad will pop up with some shitty claim like "none of this would have happened if ONLY they had been POLITE" and aside from the fact that this is appeasement bullshit, it's not true.

State and local law enforcement know the communities they serve. They’ve built the trust and know how to keep us safe.
As Minnesotans express their first amendment rights, I encourage you to remain peaceful and know that local law enforcement has one goal in mind: your safety.

I think he posted it because his base will be energized by a snuff film of killing a lesbian as revenge for her partner being mouthy (in their view).
Framing it as exonerative offers the thinest plausible deniability.

Vance leaked that video because he thinks that he can shape the narrative and control it. If it comes out before he shares and tells people what to think about it, everyone sees what he doesn’t want people to see: She is dead because of ICE.

I'm honestly perplexed and concerned by the number of people who sincerely believe that the solution to one group of armed police murdering people is…a different group of armed police.
Few are as famously steadfast in protecting the badly behaved among them as police officers and their unions.

Sure, but the candidates from both parties were pro-police and pro-prison, based on their records.
There were zero options on the ballot with a meaningful record of curbing police violence.

This is not entirely accurate. People already forget that the immigration platform Donald Trump *explicitly* ran on *exclusively* focused on detaining and deporting the worst of the worst—people with violent criminal records. As soon as the election was over, it became clear what he really intended.
Ah well. Can't disagree here really. Americans did vote for masked agents of the state to kill innocent people, whether they understood that at the time or not. Too bad they didn't listen to anyone who tried to explain it to them bsky.app/profile/atru...

Nothing is more powerful than condemning "whitewashing" while referring to Trump and his failed insurrection using euphemisms.
recommit to standing against political violence in all forms and upholding our democracy.
I was there on that terrifying day. Despite this president’s attempts to whitewash what transpired, we must never forget the reality of what happened on that day.

The irony:
2024 was the most violent year for US cops killing Black people *in recorded history*

This was following the largest civil rights protest to stop these killings *in recorded history*

Calling them "messaging failures" presumes that the Democratic Party is, in fact, opposed to the policy goals of the Republican Party.
Perhaps the "we're basically the same as pre-Trump Republicans on most issues" platform from Harris/Walz in 2024 was, in fact, accurate?

this just so perfectly encapsulates the decades-long messaging failures by the dems
Republicans made welfare fraud in Minnesota the most important story in the country. Schumer turned a war for oil into a question about national security briefings.

I was unaware, but that's sort-of the point. The Post's newsroom is independent from the editorial board. Post polls are commissioned by the newsroom

No. No. No.
Punitive processes make narrowly targeted programs *less* efficient and *more* costly. Because more scrutiny requires more bureaucracy.
Punitive processes also make it *less* likely that people will get aid for which they qualify. Because of the roadblocks and stigma scrutiny creates.
