Historically, caltrops were part of defenses that served to slow the advance of troops, especially horses, chariots, and war elephants... In modern times, caltrops are effective when used against wheeled vehicles with pneumatic tires

All across America, if you look like you might not belong according to the rightwing extremist regime’s conception of “real America,” you are now at constant risk of being assaulted by these masked thugs tasked with purging the nation. Whatever you want to call this, democracy it definitely ain’t.

In a context where Hispanics are being disproportionately rounded up, and the administration's explanation for why they assaulted one of the very few Hispanic Senators was that they did not know who he was, Vance could not be bothered learning the his name.

The merit of charity is so great that I am happy to give to 100 beggars even if only one might actually be needy. Some act as if they are exempt from giving charity to 100 beggars in the event that one might be a fraud. —Rabbi Chaim Halberstam

The smears against Zohran coming from the Democratic establishment are also a sign of fear—they’re more scared of the party becoming progressive than they are of the country already being fascist. If Zohran wins, it signals a reckoning. If Cuomo wins, they can keep the failing status quo intact.

I keep seeing Adriana Smith "gave birth." She didn't "give birth," a fetus was cut from a corpse. She & her family were denied any dignity in her death. She was dehumanized, designated an incubator, & desecrated. By the very system that killed her.

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

A few thousand people gathered for Donald Trump's fascist military parade. Many millions assembled to oppose it. Trump's core of support is comprised chiefly of stay-at-home racists and mercenaries who hurt people for pay. Those who act according to their consciences overwhelmingly oppose him.

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

Remind me to do a thread on police crowd control formations. This is known as the "crossbow" formation, a riot police at the front with a column formed up behind it. The column will burst through the front to surprise the crowd. Often used as an arrest team to grab someone, sometimes for shock.
