The public statements attributed to people claiming to be 50501 protest organizers, praising the shooters' actions, are NOT smart.
Careless public statements ratifying the actions tend to strengthen "respondeat superior" claims and may even, rarely, provide an *independent* basis for liabilityz

The entire R thesis is that civil unrest is good for Rs politically. They may very well end up being right
But the popular resistance thus far, mirrored by the polling, suggests otherwise
2/2

Proof that the parade was embarrassing, especially juxtaposed with the No Kings protests
It's basically either 1️⃣ the Soviet approach of "escalate to deescalate" or 2️⃣ Trump being easily goaded into making dumb decisions when ppl said "TACO!" after the farmworkers tweet

Only about 200 or so, but that's b/c we broke it – I deleted an entry about an illegal arrest of members of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Public Defender's Office b/c it had identifying info in it
Total thread was ~1994ish tweets, mostly scrollable until Elon took over

To paraphrase @theophite.bsky.social, the best security posture for a protest is to look exactly like everyone else

Stephen Miller is in charge not because of his intellect, skill, charisma, judgment, achievements, or really anything else, not even because he's a lying, screaming psychopath. He's in charge because unlike everyone else in this administration he is willing to work a solid 30 hours a week.

Had I known in December 2015 when Viking happened how things would turn out by ~March 2016, I'd have done something else

At least you won't have to explain to your kids why your name is on the 2016 Republican ballot with Trump 😉

If they are lying like that on a economically privileged white man on live tv, imagine what they’re doing to poor Black and brown folks, LGBTQ+ & disabled folks when there are no cameras…

Because they have no marketable skills beyond being in political office, but are still too young for Social Security

Crazy to think it's been nearly a decade for both of us
Love living my prime years in the shadow of idiot fascism

They think now in images and influencer sound bites and it's a steady drumbeat. When I left about a decade ago, I realized then just how much of it was an insular propaganda bubble. It has only gotten worse.

QAnon was a completely online fantasy built on nothing but lies. Of course that sprouted from the Right which is basically an online meme factory of propaganda now.
