it is nice to be at the point in a discussion where I can link previous points bc the people that won't read the entire thread haven't figured out that I've addressed their specific point already
hopefully with a couple more years on here, that gets easier

There’s a darkly funny chapter after Goetz turns himself in where the cops keep trying to give him an out: “You were afraid for your life, right?”
And Goetz is like, nope, I wanted to kill those teens because they are black.
The guy who did it would not shut up about how racist he was!

You would like @sarahkendzior.bsky.social books “Hiding in Plain Sight” and ”They Knew”, and @calfraser.bsky.social ”Murderland”. When the facts are stated so plainly like that, it feels less like a revelation and more like remembering something we were trained to forget. Then we see it everywhere…

The real reason why Alex Pretti and Renee Good are so hated/rejected by the MAGA right is because they have that type of single-mindedness that you can only find in the early medieval saints, which is the complete opposite to the nihilistic sinfulness of MAGA.

Like even the murder is no longer new. They did that already to Renee Good. Why is it suddenly politically feasible to shutdown the government? What fundamentally changed? I saw very smart boys from the beltway articulate how it was outright scandalous to suggest that our leaders resort to shutdown?

It's so weird. I have been told over and over again that it was ridiculous & irresponsible to suggest that dems use their power as an opposition to shutdown the government again. What changed? I'm confused, because it's the same funding, the same tactics, and the same administration. What changed?

I attempted to go to an ICE patrol training here in LA this morning and they had to turn most of us away because of capacity issues and even as I was leaving I saw a ton more folks showing up
so that’s how well their attempts to scare everyone away are going, even in the face of murder
