My take on the "leaked" video is that it was released to give pleasure to all of the conservative freaks who daydream about shooting liberals.

yeah it's a big cop culture thing to act like you are under extreme threat at all times. and there is a lot of institutionalized panic about what people might do with their cars in particular.
I have to be honest. this isn't meant to downplay the seriousness of what's happening now, and this isn't meant to be glib. But this is also how ALL cops act. The first time I got screamed at like this by a cop, I was 16, because of a traffic jam in the school parking lot. Every single one of them
I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

That's highly illegal. The government cannot go to someone's house without a warrant or probable cause.
JD Vance: "It was a legitimate law enforcement operation. We were going door to door to try to find criminal illegal aliens and deport them from the United States ... say a prayer for that agent ... he deserves a debt of gratitude."

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

look at some point you gotta face the fact that not everything is a distraction from everything else and there’s just a lot of bad stuff going on all the time

there has never been a presidency that has spent more time on LGBTQ issues as this Trump administration. they are wholly obsessed with queer people. the time/effort on LGBTQ issues is coming 97% from the right.
i'm so fucking tired of the gaslighting on this. why does everyone have this backwards?

Duh. Those of us on the ground last year actually speaking with middle class/working class voters and who heard from these voters every single day the same - “Trump is an asshole, but Democrats are out of touch” - could’ve saved my new political party a lot of time & money producing this “report.”👇

Please keep making podcasts about how democrats need to stop being so condescending about red states
Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Democrats and centrist media keep laundering this panic into ‘reasonable concerns’ but the anti-trans movement is overwhelmingly comprised of bigoted loser freaks. We’re missing a huge opportunity to make this a winning issue by pointing that out.

The cancel culture panic existed to coddle the powerful who experienced the mildest of criticism and to pave the way to astroturf conservative censorship into the mainstream
It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.

It's frustrating because there were real mistakes during the pandemic! But you're not allowed to have adult conversations led by scientists in this country. You need to start with the premise that "extremists on both sides got things wrong" and work backwards.
The credulity that The Daily and other mainstream media organizations are giving COVID revisionists is simply astounding. There are plenty of experts who would be happy (ok, maybe not happy, but willing) to provide evidence-based rebuttals, but they don't get this platforming 🤦
This book is *psychotic*. Revisionist, fact-free propaganda from the very first page. I know I shouldn’t be at this point, but it’s shocking that the authors were featured on The Daily
