Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

These amorphous virtues of gentility that certain people love to invoke — nonviolence, civility, respectfulness, peacefulness, maturity — are worse than empty without accounting for differential power. A power differential is the difference between me running into a car, and a car running into me.

It is a superstition among actors to refer to it as “The Scottish Play.” “Acbeth-May” is also acceptable.

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

i'd like to sincerely apologize for missing the mark with the satire in this post. the lack of clarity and purpose has led to it being mistaken for and contributing to that which it intended to criticize. i do NOT think you need to invite people over who want to kill you with hammers

a fairly deeply held belief of mine is that Americans want immigration to work the way they think it already does: you can get in legally if you’re patient on a reasonable timescale, and if you’re here long enough to put down community roots you shouldn’t get kicked out regardless

Re: the big No Kings protests this weekend, remember that the corporate media, politicians, etc are obviously champing at the bit to be able to force a “good protestors vs bad protestors” narrative to discredit the anti-ICE/anti-genocide movement. Do not let them. Embrace a diversity of tactics.

The idea that the progressive left used the internet to bully institutions into accepting unpopular, far-left positions is the exact opposite of what has actually happened. The alt-right used the internet for ideological capture and they are now in the White House bragging about it daily

Chuck Schumer has now stated that the line in the sand would be the arrest of four Dem Governors. Up to three is troubling, but Dems need to "keep the powder dry" for the important fights.
