Thread. Our current group of liberal elites took the lessons of successful non-violent social movements and interpreted them into the "hitting is always wrong" lecture you give your 5 year old.

I genuinely feel like I'm going insane when I read a story like this. What are you talking about

Congratulations to all the Nebula winners and finalists, what an absolutely stellar ballot.

Sergeant! The weather here seems perfect for tactical grilling! I recommend mobilization of the boys and doing reconnaissance to establish a perimeter of some cold ones! Sir! Yes sir! I love spending time with you sir!

Excited to learn that we all get to become experts in the National Guard's authorizing statutes

The scary thing in US politics right now is that there's a contingent of people who have given themselves permission to indulge in their inner emotional desire for cathartic violence against groups they dislike. They cannot be dissuaded from this because the permission structure is a closed loop

Almost verbatim, unbelievable

looks like an objective assessment to me

Statement from the White House regarding deployment of the national guard in California: “Trump has signed a Presidential Memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen…”

mein fuehrer.... steiner.... steiner's CA guard troops are stuck on the I-5, we are going to lose the home depot

The Trump administration would love to use war-style brutality and violence to attack all protestors. About 35% of the country would cheer it. Remind me why I should feel any community, any common humanity, any need to connect with those people.

National Guard is paid by the federal government but controlled by the Governor so if they do show up then we know Newsom allowed it.

Good morning, beloved. Joy is good fruit. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

Abrego Garcia being returned to the USA not 24 hrs after matty y went to the mattyresses to argue it was a classic example of a lost cause is the perfect distillation of the value of matty y as a political observer

The guy that has back doors into every government computer system is feuding with the guy that has the nuclear codes. What could possibly go wrong?

They don’t show up like this for school shootings. People ask how the public knows ICE is there? This is how. Nothing covert about it. They do it this way to make sure the entire world knows they’re coming. A full display of terror on our streets. To instill fear in America.

Bleed, bleed, poor country! Great tyranny, lay thou thy basis sure, For goodness dare not check thee

It was always about due process. Due process for all, including Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

“Whatever you think of Israel’s conduct during its war against Hamas in Gaza, you should understand that its delivery system for aid was doomed to fail,” @juliettekayyem.bsky.social argues.

MAGA doesn’t flinch when a child is pulled from rubble in Gaza. Doesn’t blink when Ukrainians are murdered in their homes. Doesn’t care when cops run over protesters. But they cry over a fucking Target display. That’s who they are.

note that this completely inverts the public justification for the deportation scheme. they claim they’re deporting criminals, but they deported Kilmar without knowledge of a crime, and now that they supposedly found one they’re bringing him BACK.

the charges against him sound like total bullshit to me. but let the state prove its case. and our system of laws will decide. thats the system, you fuckers. that's the fucking system.

Who are the people still eagerly snapping up Tesla stock? What on earth are they thinking? It defies all logic.
