If they had the capacity to do this, it would be really bad. And they probably will try to do a couple of high profile examples to make you think they *do* have the capacity. But like a lot of stuff, this is a memo designed to get you to voluntarily stop doing stuff they don’t like.

A Brazilian trans woman, in the US legally under asylum, has been taken and disappeared by ICE.
Alice Correia Barbosa was in a car that was suddenly surrounded by unmarked vehicles and was "disappeared" by “agents” did not cite a reason.
Nothing creepy and mysogynistic about this at all.

Keep thinking about Matt Walsh suggesting they do the boycott equivalent of the reaper meme, and NOTHING came from it, and then Target tried to cater to him anyway and is currently on life support.
It gives me hope. The right does not have the political will or moral discipline to play this game.

Trans people are worth protecting. Not because we are amazing people (although we are) or because we offer a great deal to society (although we do) or because we are fine as hell (we are). We are worth protecting because we are HUMAN BEINGS, and it’s amazing how often that simple fact is forgotten.

If you think Gavin Newsom is fighting fascism because his comms people post, but the encampment protesters last year were out of line, or Black Lives Matter protesters went too far, or anti-ICE protesters were wrong because they flew Mexican flags, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT FIGHTING FASCISM LOOKS LIKE.

In regards to The Topic Of The Day, one of the greater tragedies of genAI is that it sweeps under the rug just how many pursuits/projects that artists bounce off of before they find The One.
GenAI sells the promise of effortless mastery and leaves you with the empty feeling of "that's it?"

I’m very slowly waking up to the reality how the only nonviolent way out of this situation requires a form of mass deprogramming that doesn’t actually exist.
While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused.
Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right?
Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

Listening to Jeffries, you'd almost think Cuomo was the party nom.
The correct response is: "Mamdani is the people's choice for mayor of NYC. Cuomo should have raised these concerns during the campaign. Running as an independent is disrespectful of the vote and we should not give him more airtime."

My gut feeling right now is that once we get past this AI LLM boom and bust cycle, the skill of knowing how to have an imagination and how to create stories with your own human skill will be even more valuable than before. I would spend this time learning how to do everything you can to nurture that

It’s the seduction of the “silver bullet,” the belief that there remains a fact yet to be revealed that’s so damning that it will break Trump’s spell. But he’s not a witch, he’s a fascist. It’s not magic, it’s an awful movement, and you beat it not with counterspells but with better organizing.

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.
