Moronic question bc the military is supposed to have plans for everything! There was a plan cooked up to invade Canada if it came to that in WWII.

Another classic I've never found again: Chris Hayes in 2015 talking about how TV keeps breaking in to cover every Trump rally and then getting broken into by a Trump rally

This is — and I cannot stress this enough — a real government website right now. It is hosted on the Department of Commerce website (the Department of Commerce has no immigration functions whatsoever that I am aware of).

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

The em dash supposedly being a “tell” for AI generated text does sort of give away the game on the enormous amount of work stolen from journalists and news organizations that these things were trained on

Easy prediction: When JB Pritzker appears before House committee tomorrow (I'll be covering) at least one R will bring up his NH speech, where he called for Democrats to resist Trump in the streets, and blame him for the LA stuff.

Unsurprisingly, Rs are releasing montage videos that combine Dems calling for protests with footage of WayMos burning = ie, THIS is what they called for. But we're about to have a ton of peaceful protests that clarify what Dems are calling for.

FYI: David Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta have been removed as DNC vice chairs, pending re-votes on those roles this week. First vote for male vice chair between Hogg/Kenyatta. Kenyatta won that vote in Feb, will very likely win again. Loser of that vote gets to compete w the three female candidates.

I'm very good at succinctly explaining political strategy, which angers people who want reporters to say "and that is bad" if the strategy is not morally on the up-and-up.

I am finishing a NYC Mamdani piece and this is my takeaway - he benefited from being bold and risky when other candidates were being cautious.

Just not a useful discourse bc you're arguing in absentia with anarchists who are absolutely not reading your takes to decide their evening plans!

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “I don’t expect to retire,” Christian Avalos, 25, tells @jessgrose.bsky.social in a conversation about Gen Z and the American dream. “My Gen X parents are still working. I’m hoping global warming or water wars will take me out by then.”

Just re-read Postman, so it's in my head as I watch LA coverage/memes/montages. Even when I see a chyron that says "LA curfew" instead of "DTLA curfew."

"Democrats also stood idly by or even celebrated as the Black Lives Matter riots ransacked our cities five years ago. If anything, these riots are worse. At least the BLM rioters didn’t wave foreign flags."
