An enormous part of the reactionary pushback has been men mad that anyone could contradict them, let alone call them out, so ofc they love the endless, unthinking fellatio offered by AI.

I like when people who voted for a sex-abusing felon talk to me about "illegals."

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

Everything is escalation now. Taking a step back is considered weakness. Consider that when thinking through strategy.

This is the lede. There is a woman on camera in charge of a lot of people with guns. She says they are going to liberate a domestic population center from democratically elected officials and violate too many laws to count in the process. I have zero time for anything else.

this is a good wake up call for elected Dems to realize what’s happening and what’s going to happen not generally, not in the abstract, but to them personally shut it all down and start acting like you’re in immediate danger, because you are

Seems noteworthy to me that they're admitting that they're sending in the military because of the state government's ideology!!!

Every elected Republican should be asked if they think the president has the power to send in military in to “liberate” a state or city from its elected government.

As fucked up as this is — and it is! — i think it's ultimately a good thing, and more elected democrats should make a point of risking a scuffle to get in these fuckers faces at every opportunity.

It couldn't be plainer. What Trump is doing in L.A. is making him less popular on immigration, per @gelliottmorris.com's invaluable charts. Just look at that almost instantaneous drop since he deployed troops to the city. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data?open=...

A truth being revealed in this moment is that antivax concern over freedom of choice — like right-wing concern over freedom of campus speech — was always bullshit. At the first opportunity they’ve moved to limit or ban the choices of others; all they want is for you to live as they choose.

Centrist journalists have no idea what's going on in America. Perhaps too much time spent clocked in to Elon's Nazi Bar.

I am on the other side of the world from Los Angeles and I just heard a news grab on our national radio station of Maxine Waters telling a cop "Are you gonna shoot an elected representative? If you shoot me, you better shoot straight" and she remains one of the best to ever do it
