Did NYT make the conflict in Sudan front-page news for weeks/months? This is especially infuriating cuz the media focuses on specific conflicts and that affects peoples opinions/actions. They keep wanting to pretend they have no effect on public perception

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

It isn’t lost on me that the suspect in the assassination of one of the most prominent women in Minnesota politics had a target list with abortion providers and advocates. Misogyny is deadly. My heart is with the victims, their families, and everyone affected.

I really think Noem’s plans to “liberate” California from its democratically elected government with military force should not have gotten lost in the news cycle but that appears to be exactly what is happening

a lot of the people who will chastise you for criticizing Dems instead of focusing on Trump are surprisingly willing to criticize protestors instead of focusing on Trump

You have no obligation to defend or explain the behavior of random street protesters. We have a lawless government that is flagrantly violating its legal, moral, even philosophical obligations to us. Everything else is secondary

Street action to block ICE from illegally and violently invading residences and businesses is as peaceful as it gets. If the formal political system, including courts, cannot stop this violence, the final check on abusive power is mass action.

The feds kidnapping and trafficking people is a violent crime. Protesting it is fighting back against abuses of power. The government claiming protestors started the violence is DARVO—Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. It’s what abusers do when they face consequences.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

In case you think people shouldn't be fighting the government, this is what preceded. The government is committing crimes/violence against people. If not now, when?

I really, really need people to understand that as a function of supremacy, normal everyday people lie constantly about their intentions—to everyone, but perhaps to themselves most of all—and most often in service of protecting their ignorance and complacency, rather than any coherent ideology.

The real tragedy of young men today is not that they're being held back from success by a bunch of woke scolds. The real tragedy is that they're being told that success & happiness come through escaping all constraints, dominating & controlling others, & suppressing all vulnerability or weakness.

So California has @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom cozying up to fascists and stepping on the homeless like they aren't people and we've got @schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov rubber-stamping to crime currency used for crime. And this is the "opposition" party?

You mean moving more right on something, like say, immigration, does nothing to gain favor among conservatives but craters the support from your own party? Interesting...

one of the most important things a political movement can do to gain public support is to make sure each individual segment of its coalition feels like a political pawn to be embraced or jettisoned at will

They never support their central premise/s. 1. What are the positions that dems/mods/reps disagree on? 2. Why are moderate so turned off by dems they disagree with but not as much by republicans? 3. Why can't/don't/won't the mods compromise with dems and what would that look like?

This is a very consultant-brain type of thinking bc swing voters aren’t “centrists” by any meaningful sense of the world. Their most salient ideological characteristics are, like, a general disinterest in “the news” and a loose and absolutely incoherent set of political beliefs

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...
