The regime has posted signs at Manzanar, the WWII concentration camp for Japanese Americans, asking visitors to report "negative" historical interpretations. Hard to imagine a positive interpretation but it's probably just an excuse to shut down the park. www.sfgate.com/california-p...

“I’ll believe it when I see it.” No, actually, you never will. He could grab you by the shoulders and say “I voted for your dad, you know” and you’d blow it off. Everybody knows you lie like you breathe, and the ones who wouldn’t rather believe the lie know it’s a waste of time to call it out.

"I'm special because I have the secret knowledge" is how cults are formed, for millennia. What we have here is a lot of socially isolated young men (mostly) whose egos are tied up in being Smarter Than You, who identify with the only ones they can talk to: each other, and LLMs.

I have seen little mention by anyone, including Sen. Padilla, about what Noem said right before he interrupted: The federal occupying force will not leave LA until, by its sole determination, the city and state is obeying their made-up rules over their own state or local officials or policies.

Aiming for the calf or the back of the knees is a) tremendously painful and dangerous, b) completely chickenshit (you're shooting them in the back!), and c) something they've done to at least two foreign journalists since yesterday

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

Why, it's almost as if he... doesn't have the legal right to do what he's doing?? Really concerned this might prevent him from doing whatever the fuck he feels like, all the time, to everyone, everywhere

On the one hand, I believe everyone is worthy of compassion. On the other, compassion doesn’t involve ignoring the laws of cause and effect and letting people continue to hurt themselves and others. Like, my dude, dudeliest of dudes, get some fucking help immediately.
