"it's not peaceful for people to be on the highway" -LA Mayor Karen Bass right now. This is what I mean when I say the word "peaceful" as applied to protesters is about prescribing placidity, not nonviolence. Calmly marching on a freeway is pretty inarguably nonviolent. " Peaceful" you can debate

Journalists have to make judgments based on the available evidence all the time--about character, about honesty, about consistency, about motivation. It's disingenuous to pretend that doing so is wildly outside the bounds of a reporter's job, or that "objectivity" means never expressing an opinion.>

I'd be interested in an article about how we are numb to military parades because we have miniature ones all the time at every fucking sporting event in the country, and that Trump's big one is an opportunity to rethink doing that. But since this is The Atlantic,

I don't know how and when we got into the idea that vitriol makes us bad people. It has no inherent moral weight whatsoever. The things that matter are the objects of vitriol, whether it can be substantively justified, and how it's expressed or acted upon.

Another failure of the Obama era democratic majority. When Obama was elected to his first term, ICE as an agency had existed for only 5 years. Instead we handed over an army of racist hogs to Donald Trump

I would like to propose a rule that if you are a Democratic senator who literally doesn’t show up for judicial confirmation hearings, you are not allowed to fundraise off of Trump being a “threat to democracy and the rule of law” ever again

It makes for a good illustration of how cops stand outside of democracy—on both a local and national level—and don’t see themselves as subject to its rule.

There is also a direct line from this to dismissing any organizing outside a predominantly white and centrist swath of the gentry as "the groups."

The other thing about the militarized teams deployed on deportations is that they are increasingly a coalition of the willing that scrambles chains of command across various dept's and agencies (DHS, ICE, FBI, CBP, BOP, etc), creating what amounts to a personalized militia loyal only to Trump. 🧵

In addition to funding, which is important, states and feds are passing laws that give preference to law enforcement in every aspect of life -- legal, economic, and social. Just yesterday, Trump met with FOP leaders who praised him for ending accountability and the "no tax on overtime."

Any news org, think tank or gov't agency that continues to cite the ADL or its violently fascist figurehead comes across like it's platforming the KKK, and they should be made aware of it every time.

"300 fighters, including untrained drug dealers, thieves, murderers, and radicals, cannot overpower Hamas’ 30,000 militants. Realities on the ground indicate a far more nefarious scheme: those gangs have become a proxy used to advance Israel’s genocide, ethnic cleansing, and starvation policies"
