it keeps breaking my heart to see all the suffering this attitude causes. I'm hopeful this makes the breaking point for the administration come much faster and the make their reckoning come earlier, at the very least it's clearly undermined their consolidation efforts and galvanized opposition

oh sure i'm not at all nostalgic for the age of monomedia. I see it more as a logistical challenge for future mass politics, how do you build an infrastructure/movement that's as easy as possible to plug into and yet asserts its collective political demands in a strong, coordinated manner?

It makes them hard to harness to achieve specific policy. It's something we're gonna have to put a lot of work into going forward

i get the impulse, and it's good to be prudent and not assume too much in advance, but i completely agree we have overwhelming precedent for treating dhs "counterfactuals" defending their oversteps of violence as nothing but deliberate muddying the waters at this point. It was a street execution
