My theory of the moment: The extraordinary courage of ordinary people in places like Minneapolis is reawakening us to our social and economic ties to immigrants. It's making "love thy neighbor" cool again. That's the ultimate antidote to MAGA hate.

Thoughts on this:

The fact that Vance and Miller - the most powerful members of the administration - are publicly socially intermeshed with open and unapologetic Nazis is the Chekhov’s gun of Trump’s second term, even if the press have refuse to acknowledge.

Now it’s shooting us in the face.

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

Biden himself said they were fabricated!

It’s weird how the “if you haven’t done anything wrong then you don’t have anything to worry about” crowd is trying to illegally shield what they’re doing from journalists who are acting 100% within their rights and the law.
We’re just not a free country.

Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.

this is right. you don't have to work out every detail. start with no. go from there.
Senate Dems needn’t come to agreement on everything right now. That’s a path to the lowest common denominator. They simply have to agree to filibuster DHS approps. As to which of a host of anti-brutality and anti-authoritarian proposals to advance, let a thousand flowers bloom.

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

No, this was Scalia’s wet dream. It is EVERY conservatives wet dream. They always brag about needing a strong leader. They always wanted to just “nuke them” or “throw them all in jail” or “just shoot the criminals.”

They never fucking think that a strong leader will also hurt them.

Every obsessive critic of "wokeness" embodies the actual qualities that they attribute to "wokeness." In this case, the mentality that any obstacle you encounter is discrimination bsky.app/profile/park...
There’s a certain kind of aging provocateur who can’t imagine losing on the merits, so every loss becomes proof of discrimination.
