i stopped wearing red crosses more than a decade ago, because police habitually target medics. this isn’t a one-off, it’s a deliberate choice they make over and over again. it’s not “a few bad apples,” it’s widespread practice.

say you're writing a piece for a print publican and it's supposed to be 500 words. sometimes i wonder what would happen if you wrote it with only the longest words possible for the occasion, somehow without making it unreadable? editor would have to say "ok but just make it smaller"?

Newsom is doing what almost every Democrat in the country is afraid to do right now and he is going to reap all the rewards if they don’t hurry. As a California voter intimately familiar with Newsom’s actual policy bonafides, I am loudly imploring someone else to do that hurrying.

It is important to remember that Trump wanted to send out the military for black lives matter protests. He is itching to kill protesters to prove a point and to quell dissent. This time he's not even holding up a Bible...

The discourse about how to protest right is a distraction from what the protests are actually about: SECURITY FORCES CAME IN THE NIGHT AND TOOK 2000 PEOPLE AWAY Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

When people said “abolish ICE,” this is why. The politicians from both parties who called that “radical,” blindly funded them and called it “immigration reform,” because they were getting campaign donations from the corporations getting ICE contracts. And now we’re here.

the point of protests is that they are inherently "illegitimate" expressions of dissent in a society where "legitimate" expressions of dissent are either impossible or so insufficient that they become a joke

Trump has a fundamental misunderstanding of how to be an authoritarian. He seems to think that now he's at the top, he can't ever lose power and can piss off whomever he wants. This is not true! You need the Army and business leaders on your side at a minimum.

I think the easiest historical way to view this is that these are a bunch of white men of a certain age who fantasize about going back in time and murdering every person of color who dared protest over the Rodney King trial verdict. And here they are, salivating at sending the army to LA.
