in a functional society you would call the cops if a group of masked men with guns showed up at a daycare demanding to see the children, and the primary reason this did not happen appears to be that everyone assumed they were ICE
When Nick Shirley arrived to "test" if he could enroll his son "Joey" in Minneapolis day cares, his viral video omitted that he showed up with an entourage of masked men acting like security, multiple vehicles including vans, cameras, and men who wouldn't identify themselves. One day care owner /

there's a certain personality that's very debilitating in modern life. 100 years ago, if you wanted to buy something, you'd go to five local shops and decide. now with the internet, you need to spend 1,000 hours so you can own the best version in the world like you're some venetian patrician

it's crazy that 500 years ago, you would see the ruler of your country maybe once in your life and hear whispers that they're the Sun God, but now with social media, you get to see on a daily basis that they're the most unhinged, idiotic, and unhappy person you know

People not in the US routinely downplay the degree to which law enforcement in this country is willing to kill us.
In grad school I referenced this analysis that found that cops in the US kill more people than "criminals" do in other countries. And that's routine.

It did not "go viral". It was intentionally filmed and disseminated using a network of coordinated bots, amplified by an algorithm designed to spread this kind of content quickly. This was a harassment campaign, intended to silence everyone. Call it what it is.

Sometimes I'm taken aback by the things that people say and do in this country.
Then I remember that the country was founded by religious zealots who got kicked out because they were too conservative, thought of themselves as constant victims of persecution, and wouldn't shut the fuck up about it.

I criticized the USSR a fair bit today but one thing remains true - for all its many sins, the post-Stalin era USSR was probably the *least* horrific manifestation of the Russian Empire anywhere between Ivan the Terrible and the present

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

I think this is right. It’s like when a family has decided to tolerate an abusive drunk. They know what he’s like and they’ve priced it into their decisions and they don’t want to hear you talk about it.
Yes, Fox makes people dumber, but I think many of you underestimate how many Trump supporters go to Fox because they already know he’s terrible and they don’t want to hear about it
For my own edification, I started watching Fox News. Their audience has no clue about any of Trump's failings. Any thing negative will not be reported, or if it is, it'll be cast as a false accusation made by evil Dems.
