The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

Noam Chomsky: An Ordinary Person’s Reflection
Noam Chomsky has been in the news lately for titillating and unpleasant reasons. For me, his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is relatively unimportant.

The rumors about daycare centers are extremely "fit" for virality: having both novelty & familiarity (drawing on anti-immigrant tropes of criminality & exploitation); making emotional/identity appeals; are *participatory* in that ppl can create their own “evidence” by investigating local centers.

I get it’s not personal it’s (bad) drag. That said, I cannot think of a situation where one party accuses the other of basically the worst thing possible and then… this. Presumably owning the libs is the higher cause 🤷

Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert not as similar as people think. Greene grew up in Forsyth County, Georgia, which is incredibly upper-class. She went to UGA and inherited her dad's business. Boebert was a dropout, was on Welfare and came from a single family.

It’s funny to see Olivia Reingold complain about her ex-friend who comes from “media royalty” when she herself is media royalty. Dad was NBC Asia top brass and then bought six local CBS stations. She’s a Columbia legacy, and Michael Barbaro interviewed her for a WaPo puff piece when she was 10.

Kangmin Lee (a far right reactionary) claims he was fired simply for calling women psychopaths' if they celebrated Charlie Kirk's death.
He actually demanded that women lose their right to vote and remain as birth vessels so Benny Johnson hired him on the spot
