This is also the problem with the idea that if we cut defense spending it will lead to expanded democratic socialism (which builds individual, family, community, municipal, state, and national strength, leadership, and resilience.)

The estimated cost of the unnecessary troop mobilization to Los Angeles ($134M) would have funded gender-affirming care in the military for the next 26 years. The trans military ban was never about funding.

Engaging the base is how you persuade the middle. When you have a left flank carrying what isn't yet a "popular" position, you move people toward you by making it seem more and more the norm.

Brazilian news reported four days ago that the Brazilian federal police cannot locate Eduardo Bolsonaro to serve him. His whole family is literally posting on Instagram that he’s in Disney World this week. Is Disney World a summons free zone?

What's a commonly mispronounced word that irrationally irritates you?* For me it's mischievous, which so many people persist in calling "mis-CHEE-vee-ous." *I know, I know, a lot of us learn from reading. No shame there. But no need to insert unnecessary sounds and syllables!

This is deep in the American psyche. I live in Iowa. Des Moines, the capital and largest city has ~200k residents. Fellow Iowans are afraid of visiting Des Moines and are certain there are neighborhoods where you'll just be murdered if you show up. Des Moines!

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

There's a lot of quality of life discussions we have to have in NYC that are basically trying to find workarounds for how nobody can trust the NYPD to properly or equitably enforce the laws on the books

Every report from LA is like "small and mostly peaceful protests continued through the evening and into the next day" and yet to here the administration and some commentators describe it it's like...mass violence on a scale we've never seen before.

Again a parallel of how Hong Kong protests were propagandized in 2019 and 2020. Hyperfocus on property damages and no coverage of plainclothes police violence by Chinese press

A few thoughts on this: We’ve an entire statutory regime regulating the use of military personnel for domestic law enforcement. Congress gets to decide this. Not the President. Not the Secretary of Defense. Congress has indeed passed “valid laws [to] channel [the] power”of federal law enforcement.

There’s a sizable protest of what appears to be entirely faith leaders and clearly outside the Capitol right now, with the demonstrators speaking out against the GOP-led budget. It’s a Pentecost gathering “for a moral budget.” Lawmakers are also expected to appear.

Stop doing the circular firing squad over Mexican flags and just go out and put numbers on the streets, the main way we need to be perfect is by being nonviolent and orderly. People show up to protests in communist regalia too; mass protests are wide open things you can’t truly control.

Tapper is very clearly on a greivance tour against the Democratic Party, which is apparently allowed by most news orgs in the country. Criticizing Republicans as a reporter or anchor though? That'll get you suspended.
