“I was born here,” Jason Brian Gavidia shouted as a federal agent twisted his arm & pressed him against a fence outside his auto body shop in a working-class L.A. suburb. “I’m an American, bro!” Vivid @nytimes.com reporting on the targeting of U.S. citizens of Hispanic descent.

Took the day off because I worked Saturday and really haven’t been able to enjoy it. Just kind of vibing with dread and generalized anxiety.

You really do want to read this excellent piece from @profsaunders.bsky.social. The imperial presidency, created by both parties since WWII, was a grave mistake, bc it depended on good faith/shared norms that simply do not exist now that the GOP has collapsed into far right authoritarianism.

This is a crucial point. Over the long 20c, the structure of government shifted toward massively delegated discretionary authority. That structure depended on certain cultural/political predicates. Those predicates no longer hold.

JFC Maybe it no longer registers as extremism because extremism has become the norm for the right.

In 2025, it's more important than ever to recognize that extremist messaging is multidirectional and often deliberately engineered by foreign actors to polarize, destabilize, and push people toward violent ends. 1 of 3

Too many fucking cops have read ‘On Killing’ and nowhere near enough have read ‘Ordinary Men.’ Or the Constitution, for that matter.

I want to be clear that when Wall Street talks about a potential recession, they mean for the wealthiest in America. Everyone else has already been in a recession for some time. The fate of our wealthiest & our poorest have been further separated by design in this modern era.

Not telling you anything you don’t know, but this is rapturous, cult-like insanity. A total retreat into fantasy rather than confronting the challenges of the real world.

Trump is going after Blue cities based on nothing more than the crazy, conspiratorial voices in his head. He’s already violating our 1st, 4th, 5th & 14th Amendments, and deploying the U.S. military against citizens in L.A. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

The palintir police state is already in action and you cannot erase enough of your life to get away from it. Those of us on the Academic and research side of countering authoritarianism tried to warn you what doge really was building those comprehensive databases for and it was this.

Small but underrated part of restoring healthier civ-mil norms would be retreating from the fucking OPERATOR TACTICAL aesthetic of service members to more traditional dress uniforms, etc. in terms of public presentation, etc. People that have desk jobs should wear the desk job uniforms, for example

Day 2 of the manhunt for the Trump voters who murdered a Democratic politician in cold blood. Those cops are just having such a hard time catching that schlubby boomer who did it you guys. The delay has nothing to do with the fact that he has multiple sympathizers working in the police departments.
