Shit. I'm in serious trouble now.

LAPD said in the summer of 2020 that they can handle one large protest of 10k but they cannot handle ten protests of 1k. Do with that information accordingly

It is once again almost as though more cops do not in fact make us safer

the white house thinks brute force is, no pun intended, a trump card. they don’t anticipate pushback and they don’t know how to handle it with anything other than escalation. the issue is that each escalation is itself a gamble. if protesters refuse to back down, you’ve lost face. (1/?)

The Trump administration would love to use war-style brutality and violence to attack all protestors. About 35% of the country would cheer it. Remind me why I should feel any community, any common humanity, any need to connect with those people.

just a plain as day fact that most mayors instinctively fear their own police departments and know that if they ever were to come down on them, the police department would see to their overthrow first and that's assume they simply don't start kidnapping the mayor's family or outright kill them.

Disappointed to see that we are apparently rehabilitating Scott Stringer, a sexual harasser who is suing one of his accusers for defamation

Here’s the brass tacks about ranked choice voting. Unless something very dramatic shifts in the coming weeks, the mayoral race will come down to Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani on the final ballot…

Cops cannot be 'reasoned' with. They do what they want with impunity in the US and a lot of people simply refuse to acknowledge this reality.

Ah, of course, Dems must shed “toxic” positions that they . . . checks notes . . . literally never adopted and in fact sneered at at every opportunity

That Democrats, even now, insist on focusing on and blaming the progressive wing of their party for Trump is exactly how we entered the Nadir a century ago. White Americans and those who wanted to politically ascend abandoned Black people and oppressed groups to reunite politically with each other.

It’s time for the New York Times to abandon their failing journalism business and launch a dedicated console for their games

Watching events that I lived through be completely distorted by ideologues in real time has increased my skepticism toward the average history book by about 500%.

Who is Vic? And why does he have a moron representing him on a bumptious defamation claim?

I believe a crucial part of being a fully-realized human in 2025 is knowingly and joyfully hiding huge swaths of your life and experiences from the ever-gluttonous eyes of the Internet. It is also a genuinely meaningful act of personal resistance

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

“It’s not money laundering to donate to a GoFundMe” That’s true. And you should be thrilled to know that no one was claiming it is.

A lot of y’all’s brains are cooked from arguing with people on social media. “Liberals” are not a bigger threat to you than right-wingers, they just yelled at you on social media more. “Leftists” are not a bigger threat to you than right-wingers, they just yelled at you on social media more.

This is very bad, but there is a good reminder we should all take from this. This administration absolutely does not have the manpower to accomplish all of the evil shit they want to. It is very possible to stand up and get in the way and make a difference

The main throughline of American politics is that rich white men maintain their wealth and power by convincing poor white men that as long as they're above women and minorities they're good.

If you have a way of helping people that is risky or involves crimes, that is your own business. If you are recruiting people into that without telling them enough/anything about the risk they’re taking? Fuck you, that is vile. That is how you get well-meaning people really hurt.
