New from me: it’s been hard to write anything about what’s going on in America this last week, but we’ve moved from “threat to free speech” to “a state that actively restricts political speech” very quickly. https://www.kevinyeaux.com/p/an-elephant-on-our-chest
An Elephant on Our Chest
America’s descent into being a state without free expression was quick, and eventually will affect us all.

I thought we all agreed we weren’t going to pin our hopes on Congress magically restoring a long lost sense of patriotism and conscience this term. I guess he didn’t get the memo.

You can’t be a dictator without having your face on money! Come on! Everyone knows this.

I do think that played out, what Trump wants to do is rebirth the nation with him as the founding father. Like, it’s creepy as hell putting aside all the human misery it’s causing.

Honestly, as much fun as these Australian spills are to cover, the Liberals really need to get on the ball and change their leadership spill process like Labor did. Albo would have been gone in 2020 had they kept the partyroom-controlled spill process. Instead he got time to run.

Sure, you can’t read text on a light background. And sure Apple likes to take down apps at the request of authoritarian governments, including our own. But look at what you can do with a button at the bottom of an app with Liquid Glass! That makes up for it!

You can't raid and arrest everyone in an entire apartment building, or even legitimately get a warrant to do that, any more than you could for a whole neighborhood. That would be a general warrant. This is the most specific core the-British-did-it-to-us thing the Fourth Amendment is written to ban.

NEW — An estimated 40 people were taken by federal agents in an overnight raid in South Shore, a predominantly-Black neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side.

A couple who live nearby said they were shocked to see the enormous militarized raid in their community.

With friends like that… Johnson’s response to being told Trump is unhinged is to nod yes and say a lot of Dems are too.

Like, I’m pretty sure the normal response would be to act astonished or dismissive of that, not agree and turn it around!

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

I’ve seen the Dem talking heads, and man they are hopeless.

Then I saw the GOP talking heads, and good lord they are hopeless.

But if you’re going to have a hopeless-off, the GOP wins that by default. They expect the GOP to be hopeless.
