We are at post 9-11 levels of hysteria (with no terrorist attack) combined with 2025 surveillance and misinformation. A scholar at Yale suspended when an AI-driven article, co-authored by humans who want to remain anonymous (doxxing is bad!!) labels her a terrorist. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/u...

Wow. Watch this from Zohran Mamdani. It looks like the exact "fight" and "conviction" people are hopelessly asking for from the people in charge of the Democratic party:

Massachusetts police officer allegedly tampered police reports, intimidated a witness #news https://www.bostonherald.com/2025/03/11/massachusetts-police-officer-allegedly-tampered-police-reports-intimidated-a-witness/

They have nothing. Nothing. They kidnapped a legal resident, shipped him across the country, denied access to his attorney, and are now trying to deport him. And their only justification for it is either protected speech or vague descriptions of alleged crimes committed by other people.

Haven't seen this reported anywhere but a judge overseeing Florida's attempt to age gate all social media pointed to the failure of D&D to make him worship Satan as a kid to suggest the state needs actual evidence, and not just vibes about a social media moral panic. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/11/j...

This is it. I know that sounds hyperbolic – or perhaps naïve depending on how far down the slide you think we are at this point – but this is in fact the turning point. www.welcometohellworld.com/does-the-con...

This may be the biggest free speech crisis in living memory. The president now bragging about detaining a lawful permanent resident and smearing him as 'pro Hamas', no outlining any specific crimes he is accused of or charged with. This is what a fascist takeover looks like.

New from me: In the days after George Floyd’s death, Ben Shapiro said conservative and police calls for Derek Chauvin’s prosecution was proof that they weren’t racist or oblivious to police abuse. So what should we make of the fact that he and other right wingers now want Chauvin to be pardoned?

As president, Joe Biden made “fund the police, fund them” a pause-for-applause line at the State of the Union. Senate Dems unanimously voted against defunding the police and publicly touted that afterwards. They literally did the suggested “move to the center” on this. It’s not a serious argument.

CNN reporting that Senate Democrats are “disappointed” in House members for violating “decorum” at Trump’s speech last night. Just utterly clueless. And worth remembering next time those senators wax reverently about John Lewis.

After Green interrupted last night, another Democrat should have done the same thing. And then another, until all of them had to be removed. Delay the speech by a few hours. Or walk out en masse. Anything. Calling Trump an existential threat means nothing if you can’t meet the fucking moment.

The criminal legal system is a system of racial and social control. A sibling spat inside a home over a cellphone became a criminal charge thanks to a neighbor's call to the police. 18 yr old asylum seeker is arrested, detained, then picked up by ICE in the Lynn courthouse. Unconscionable. #mapoli

This is pure idealism. Like Biden's alleged heavy heart while he armed and funded genocide, it's solipsism as political analysis. What matters is what can be observed. We need not speculate about what is in anyone's heart––Musk did a nazi salute. He is thus, for all intents and purposes, a nazi.
