i am not particularly nihilistic or extreme, but elite impunity increasingly has me ready to spit on my hands, hoist the black flag, and start slitting throats, because so many of our problems are downstream from it

The fact that the Brooklyn Park police proactively went to the Hortman residence and interrupted the attack in progress, thus separating the perp from his weapons cache, saved untold lives.

A tangent, perhaps, but are we really blacking out the faces of cops? They’re a local SWAT team, not CIA paramilitary officers. They’re public servants, or supposed to be. A huge part of the discourse right now is how bad it is for Feds to be covering their faces. This shit had to stop.

Governors Pritzker and Hochul should mobilize Army National Guard units now to protect Illinois and New York residents from hostile federal interference in state governance. If the WH tries to federalize them in response, that's fine, but there will now be significant complicating factors.

But if militarized police are under no one's control but their own, they're not exactly agents of the state. Severing the authority relation with democracy transforms them into what you call a "state within a state"—state-like orgs in a territory that aren't controlled by the legitimate authorities

Trump declares war on cities “We must expand efforts to detain & deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as LA, Chicago, & NY, where Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, & other Cities, are core of the Dem Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base”

The fact that civilian leadership understands it can’t rein in the police without having their families physically threatened really is a democratic crisis.

It’s not just Mike Lee — Bernie Moreno is pretending that a registered Republican evangelical anti-abortion Trump voter who assassinated a Democrat and had more on his hit list is a representative of “the extreme left”

one of the really challenging asymmetries in american politics is that democrats are asked to answer for the actions of every single hypothetical democratic voter in the country but republican lawmakers are not even asked about the behavior of their own elected peers

Political violence is not an incidental risk which they are merely negligent about managing and policing. It is their Schmittian central premise. Political violence against their enemies is the ideology itself. That's what illiberal populism is. There's no such thing as a peaceful form of it.

I don’t think there are any marines as far as I can tell, all the closeup videos, they have police on the back of their vests (plus a few HSI guys) tho the fact that you can’t really tell is incredibly problematic…

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

Day 2 of the manhunt for the Trump voters who murdered a Democratic politician in cold blood. Those cops are just having such a hard time catching that schlubby boomer who did it you guys. The delay has nothing to do with the fact that he has multiple sympathizers working in the police departments.

As a 52-year-old, I grew up with domestic right wing terrorist organizations threatening violence daily, and blowing up buildings and killing people periodically, throughout my whole political life: it was the anti-abortion movement.

The number of people arguing with this number because “Alt National Park Service said it was 11 million” is kind of staggering to me. Folks, Alt NPS is not real, okay? None of the “alt” accounts are. They don’t have special knowledge. They pulled that number out of thin air/their ass

This is huge. The Trump administration wants to vastly expand the practice of shipping people to random countries they have never been to before, and are now making this part of a threat; either the countries accept taking third country nationals, or they get banned from visas.

What people mocking flag discourse refused to get through their head because it was too wine mom-coded is that those arguing that protestors should bring flags were very much aware the flag isn't a shield from police brutality, and understood the optics of exactly what's happening in this photo.

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

Before the cops in LA started escalating things for no reason it was funny how my main takeaway was how much people were looking out for each other in really helpful ways. I’ve never seen so many people with carts giving away free water, sunscreen, snacks, and masks to total strangers.
