You’re seeing a lot on TV rn about force and misconduct in Los Angeles sheriff department's role. Well, here’s what happened when someone tried to get serious about bringing accountability to the department: she faced huge pushback… and now she faces criminal charges. boltsmag.org/the-curious-...

It is clear that there is something about the configuration of modern society - how we communicate, how we gain attention, the way ideas gain popularity - that leads to the continual advancement of extremist beliefs, especially on the right. Our job is to figure out what that is, and shut it down.

Mike Lee's bullshit serves multiple purposes. In one fell swoop, he is refocusing the discourse on whether this was RW violence as opposed to what we do about RW violence; avoiding condemning right-wing violence without openly approving it; and justifying criminalization of left-wing dissent.

The strategy that Paris and Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social have used since her 2014 election has been a master class. Step by step, reflective of conditions & context (most in the city don’t drive), focused on quality of life, avoiding polarizing slogans, using referendums, proving it works. Smart.

Also, the way that every event, no matter how shocking or horrible or unprecedented, gets fed into the far-right social media hallucination machine, and twisted beyond recognition until it supports the far-right's own nonsensical worldview, is the very core of why we are where we are as a society.

I understand why Democrats are being restrained about this but the right's effort to lie about what happened here is incredibly disrespectful to the victims and requires vociferous pushback. The shooter appears to have been an anti-abortion zealot and a Trump voter. Don't let them avoid this.

There’s been a big resurgence of interest in “natural law” among evangelicals in the past few years, and it seems part of a larger ongoing effort to freeze us to a static and permanent societal order that is highly resistant to change—all biblically mandated, of course…

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

Some of the media overestimation of public support for Trump’s deportation spectacle of cruelty is likely due to xenophobic journalists projecting their own feelings onto the public. They see the world the way they are.
