A rule of thumb that will rarely lead you astray in this country is to assume that a riot was started by the people who showed up armed and dressed for a riot.

The Ethicist | Our son's lacrosse team has a hazing ritual where they report one another's housekeepers to ICE. One teammate's housekeeper got deported to South Sudan as a result. His parents want restitution since they can no longer get cleaning services for $6/hour. Should we pay them?

This is the kind of thing that is going to happen constantly now that we have an unaccountable masked gang with complete impunity: Random scammers, stalkers and criminals are just going to pretend to be ICE, because why not?

this speaks a bit to my argument about leaving twitter. it's not about ideological purity, it is about the fact that it's been turned into a political weapon for people who wish to use it to harm others. it's not the marketplace of ideas - you do not have to participate in this project! very simple!

Again, I ask people, in good faith & without trying to be overly alarmist, what exactly they have seen to make them so confident that the 2026/28 elections will be free/fair/competitive in the "normal" sense of 🇺🇸 politics? bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Democratic politicians and liberal pundits bemoaning the LA protests need to understand that as their failure. None of this would be happening if they had offered effective resistance to mass deportation (extraordinary rendition, in truth) instead of considering undocumented people expendable.

democrats sound really dumb when things are happening and they insist "this is a distraction" they are all the thing. the bill. the national guard. musk and trump fighting. all of it. they are all the thing and you have to fight on all the fronts. if you dont wanna, step down and let someone else

one of the reasons biden won is because for a change the democrats at least gave lip service to social justice protests. didnt amount to much in the white house, but dems lost more support by turning away from that movement than embracing it.

This is still one of the best ways to limit deportations. Stop collaborations between ICE, local police departments, sheriffs, and county jails.

liberals are stuck on this dumb as shit idea that everything we do must be focused on deprogramming racist grandpa i dont give a fuck about racist grandma. i want the people who dont get a boner about racism but are still justifiably cynical about politics actually doing something good for a change

i am specifically talking about mainstream liberals as represented by the democratic party, their elected leaders and the leaders of the party. they have operated with this notion that it is imperative that we peel off trump voters (and before that bush/reagan voters).

again, during the iraq war protests they tried to delegitimize the movement against the war because some people waved iraqi flags and the right tried to say they were "objectively pro-saddam." the protesters were objectively against bombing innocent brown people. and they were right.

Watch as this LAPD cop takes deliberate aim at an Australian reporter, then shoots her at close range. I would fire the police chief over this. Inexcusable thuggery.

In 2010, Israeli forces attacked a Gaza aid flotilla, killing 10 people. In the aftermath, the Obama administration blocked UN efforts for an investigation, Biden defended the attack, and Chuck Schumer condemned the United Nations and defended Israel.

2020 I was in a city with a Democrat Mayor in a state with Democrats in control of the governorship and legislature. While they preached progress they gassed and beat their own constituents. I haven’t and will not forget it. We need Trump out of office but we need folks like this gone, too.
