Trump, talking at Fort Bragg right now about Los Angeles, is doing something I'm not sure I've ever seen a president do: he's actively maligning people in Los Angeles — an American city — in front of U.S. troops. And the troops are applauding. As an Army brat myself, this strikes me as very new.

I hate the "the protests are small! they're overreacting!" framing! even if the protests were as big or bigger than they were in 2020, it still wouldn't justify the occupation of a city by troops!!!

there’s basically zero chance we make it to 2028 without a member of the US military injuring or killing a civilian in an official capacity now, huh

I spent so many years covering propaganda anticipating this exact moment and so many of my peers bought the paid-for contrarian line that even covering disinformation was somehow, itself, censorship. Now we're at the event horizon. Celebration is protest is riot is justification for a police state.

Yesterday, Bike Share reached a record 36,000 trips! In addition the 14-day average is about 20% higher than this time last year. The popularity of the system is exploding, and our governments need to support a safe and connected cycling network.

Yesterday I noticed that Netflix subtitles were writing “a Lyft” where the character was just saying “a lift”. Unintended advertising, I guess.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Georges Perec va escriure una novel·la on tot passa en el moment de la mort del personatge principal, Percival Bartlebooth, el 23 de juny de 1975, una mica abans de les vuit del vespre. Perec deia que li va venir la idea mirant una imatge de Saul Steinberg a «The Art of Living»

I’m just going to get this out now, since I know it’s coming, and I can just link to it. DO NOT FETISHIZE NON-VIOLENCE. It is a PRACTICE and a DISCIPLINE. The people who employed it successfully trained RIGOROUSLY. It’s not just a decision, because it goes against basic human instincts. 1/x

BREAKING ABC News has suspended Terry Moran for this now deleted tweet. This morning the White House Press Secretary said she asked ABC News for accountability. A reminder that ABC and George Stephanoupolus paid a multi-million dollar settlement to Trump.
