Oh, I'd call it anything between battery with intent to commit serious bodily harm to attempted murder. Pepper balls have, in fact, killed. A felony.

Oh, and very fascist, as well.

That's easy: By crashing, burning, and scattering the remnants of their support across the landscape leaving a generation scorched and enraged by their lying duplicity.

Oh, Gee, does that sound aggressive?

It's metaphorical, Palantir bots. Applied to a bot, You suck is as well.

The governor is 100% correct, which is why Trump is calling for Pritzker to be imprisoned.

Truth cannot be tolerated in a dictatorship.

She also lied shamelessly, despite refusing to answer most questions, e.g. claiming that that ICEblock doxxed ICE personnel. Bondi is utterly faithless, lacking any integrity, and the deeper the lie or coverup, the more aggressive her response. She is head to head with Trump for frequency of lies.

CursingPoet @thecursingpoet.bsky.social · 1h

Lies upon lies. ICEBlock did not, ever, give home addresses of ICE personnel. It was crowdsourced tracking of sightings of ICE agents.

The Trump admin cannot be trusted in anything, ever. They are utterly lacking any atom of good faith. It is all about power and overturning democracy.

Just in terms of tallying how many people ICE arrests for breaking an actual law vs. how many times ICE breaks the law through violent assaults against innocent citizens, the tally suggests ICE has morphed into a criminal gang. Or a Sturmabteilung, if you will.

Hey, I found out where Stephen Miller learned his speaking style--seriously, give it 30-60 seconds. The parallels are just uncanny.

Trump's agencies are posting the propaganda that radical left Democrats have shut down the government. The Trump coup attempt is picking up speed as all aspects of the federal government are tied to automated propaganda and the services that worked for us under Trump now work to subjugate us--

No doubt Bondi is delighted behind the "outrage"

So far, they think they are winning.And so far,that is probably correct.

However. Hubris may seems a minor flaws in this bunch, but it is increasingly clear.Miller reminds me of Goebbels in 1943, for example. The total war speech? That worked out.

Hey everybody, are you better off than you were a year ago?

Usually we ask this three or four years in, but given the trends, now seems a good time.

After all, it will be much worse by the end of the year.

Yarvin is the philosopher for people who thought Ayn Rand was the greatest mind ever, though in reality Yarvin is to philosophy as Rosie Ruiz was to marathons. Thiel, he is a guy who is smart at making money which has convinced him also that he is a deep thinker-which his Yarvin fetish disproves.

So normally I'd say, far-fetched conspiracy. But this is Wells Fargo, which was such a bad actor during the financial crisis, and which encouraged its people in branches to set up fake accounts under real customer names, etc, et al.

So, this seems worth investigating, in, oh, 2027.

Leaving aside the sheer cruelty and inhumanity of this ICE shooter, can somebody estimate the IQ of somebody who curses at an (unarmed) woman (who was not doing much of anything with her car) and shoots her on live video, then claims she had a semi-auto long gun and was attacking him with her car?
