this is a half formed idea and I’m very tired but: I sort of think a lot of Americans won’t recognise a civil war if it happens. because it’s not gonna look like the 1860’s war. it’s gonna look like late 20th century Ireland

We are in the middle of an existential battle with an authoritarian regime. Stop calling for “decorum.” Stop blaming the people defending themselves for the violence and abuse. Stop kicking the can down the road and get into the fight. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/authoritar...

Today is the anniversary of Alan Turing’s suicide, in 1954. Turing was the father of modern computing. His codebreaking helped the Allies to win WWII. Arrested for being gay, he chose chemical castration over a prison sentence. He lost his security clearance, as all homosexuals were deemed a risk.

Harvey Milk served in the Navy during the Korean War, but was discharged in 1955, not for any misconduct, but because he was gay. And now his name is being removed from a Navy vessel, once again not because of anything he did wrong, but because he was gay. It's the same hate from the same scum.

We are not under invasion. There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights. Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.
