"ICE agents then stormed into the courtroom, kicked out the attorneys, and detained everyone in the courtroom over the judge's objections. Really terrifying." my g*d this is barbaric.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Thread recapping this very illuminating Yarvin piece, by Ava Kofman in @newyorker.com (Previous posts removed for tech reasons.) —If you've lived in a small town, you know the character of the "barroom savant." Knows the inside story on everything. Knows what "they" are covering up.... 1/n

I thought, not another profile. Have been read Yarvin screeds for a decade (unimpressive) and Yarvin profiles for half a decade (tedious) but I gotta say, this offers solid payoffs - the Masters of the Universe are reflexive contrarians enamored of a lightweight. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

“Even as [Trump] wants to showcase U.S. military power, he is doing grave and possibly irreparable damage to the real sources of U.S. strength, including its long-term investment in scientific research. Trump is declaring war on science, and the casualty will be the U.S. economy.”

In South Park, San Diego, US citizens stigmergically rose up against Trump’s Gestapo. The revolt erupted midday when ICE began rounding up people at a restaurant; patrons and passersby alike dropped everything to confront the regime storm troopers. #3E #EndImpunity #StopICE

Jonathan Joss' (actor from King of the Hill and Parks and Rec) husband has released a statement that amongst other things claims his murder was part of a homophobic attack. A high profile hate crime at the very start of Pride. Absolutely heart breaking.

The FBI is now going after trans people and their healthcare. Today it's gender affirming care, tomorrow abortion. This is the authoritarian playbook on display.

Sometimes, putting together my work on disordered discourse, democratic regression, and revitalising democracy is exhausting, then I remember creeps like this exist, thinking they'll all be king one day, and we'll all have to bend the knee.

“To succeed, authoritarians must weaken or co-opt civil society, those spheres of society via which people form social ties independent of government.” “That’s what Trump has been trying to do with his attacks on universities, the press, and non-governmental organizations, among other targets.”

“What I’ve come to understand is that Trump’s comments had less to do with defending Putin or condemning America than giving voice to our country’s worst impulses—and his desire to inflict chaos and harm with reckless abandon.”

Three ¶¶ of paid portion of @gelliottmorris.com's argument that, no, Vanessa Cowart and other Trump voters didn't vote for Trump to deport moms and why understanding that is critical to defeating Trump. If you can, consider supporting this important work. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/many-trump...

Another classic example of this ridiculous administration confusing antisemitism with what the state of Israel is doing in Gaza.

Of course open source software has been used in war before, but seeing ArduPilot Mission Planner being used to blow up Russian strategic bombers is still wild.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

Stunning details now emerging: this was an operation planned a year and a half in advance, involved smuggling drones into Russia, placing them in containers on top of trucks, arranging for them all to open simultaneously and to strike.

“The [Trump] executive order makes no attempt to hide the fact that it is cutting off the flow of funds to PBS because of the content of PBS programming and out of a desire to alter the content of speech,” the lawsuit says. “That is blatant viewpoint discrimination.” Gift 🎁 article 👇🏼
