People are rightly quoting the bits about the nature of talent in this (quite good) piece, but it's "Taylor Swift, whose third eye is trained to detect micro-movements of capitalism invisible to most" that's a personal highlight for me.

Those of you who still insist on drawing a distinction between ICE and police should be aware that the police are not drawing that distinction.
Thank you for telling us you neither serve nor protect. Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. That was state murder in broad daylight, captured from multiple angles by multiple witnesses, and the people of Minneapolis have eyes.
You support murder.
You support murder.

important from Councilor Morillo. Media lost interest in CPB shooting two people in Portland after learning they may have a criminal record.
If a record means the feds can shoot you without recourse, we are lost. Due process is for all of us or for none of us.

Once you understand that you're dealing with murderous liars, you stop entertaining what they say as possibly credible and legitimate. The fight against them is about stopping them from terrorizing and killing by any means, not winning debates about your reality versus theirs.

You do not defeat reactionaries that are ready to kill whoever they please and unseat a despot by playing fair. You can prove they lied infinite times and expose their corruption as much as you like, but they'll keep at it with the *power* they hold through *force*.
