I hope you get the chance to know it. Before it disappears like magic places tend to do. It's on its way, unfortunately

It's a pretty rad little city. Cobblestoned, artsy, constantly at war with itself over tradition & progressivism. It has a history of burning itself down. Great music & food. A river runs through it and is full of great blue herons. It exists at the intersection of punk rock, hip hop, & banjo music

It was a pleasure.
And in the unlikely event that it becomes safe to tour here in the not too distant future, I'd love to facilitate booking you in Richmond, Virginia.

Headline tomorrow:
"Trump pardons a former D.C. police lieutenant convicted of leaking information about a police investigation to the leader of the Proud Boys group on the eve of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot." 😑

Ugh. Now I wanna go back.
Not that I didn't before I saw this. The longing is just a bit more acute now. Gorgeous shot

This seems like an admission of guilt where I'm standing

There's a camp at Burning Man called Cleu Camp that does this kind of brainwashing. It actually works, too. Or at least it did in 2011. My brain might need heavier duty techniques these days.

Yup. Once they're desperate enough to work for whatever they're offering. Probably room and board in company housing and credit at the company store.

Nope. They believe the poor should be dead.

What's to stop them from hacking the next election?

Look at how they're moving. Those are not trained officers. They are deputized citizens.

I don't have an impression of you at all. Just your position on this.

You can reductio ad absurdum all you want. It doesn't change the fact that advocating for more laws when you know who would be in charge of enforcing them is a position of enormous privilege.
Those guns don't have a place in a safe, sane society. We don't live in one of those.

Good for you. In the meantime, they'll just deputize the very people you really *don't* want having those guns, and probably put them in charge of taking them away from everyone else. The fatal flaw in Democratic policy is never anticipating what the GOP will do with the laws they pass.

That no law is equitably enforced is my entire point. I just don't see how anyone who recognizes the path that we're on could possibly be advocating for *more* laws right now.

So you believe the government is fascist but want them to have more control over people? Do you think this law will happen to be the one that is fairly and equitably enforced?
