But since we see that avarice, anger, pride and stupidity commonly profit far beyond charity, modesty, justice and thought, perhaps we must stand fast a little, even at the risk of being heroes."

Security theater undermining activism is a real thing that happens all the time. People need to sit down and actually learn how to think through threat models.

Looking at the mug shots Bondi posted of folks who allegedly impeded ICE officers... I'm reminded me of some of the iconic 1960s images of 'criminals' from counter sitins and freedom rides

the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system
President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion.

There’s a type of person who correctly perceives mass mobilization as a threat to the power they wield over the collection of thralls they’ve spent the last however many years brow beating into submission, and I think one of the errors of ‘Woke 1’ was being far too nice to these people.

no fan of jeffries, but holy shit is this article misleading. in the press briefing he calls for "a prohibition that DHS cannot *detain* or deport American citizens", and his focus throughout the briefing is on the detainment part
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Thursday said House Democrats will demand a ban on the deportation of American citizens as a condition of winning their support for legislation funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

oh its crabs in a bucket time again but they're worried that one of the crabs is being too successful at publicizing their supposedly shared cause.
What? I received an anonymous message informing that I had been removed for violating a rule I'd never heard of, based on complaints I'd never heard, that I had no avenue of appeal, and that they would not be engaging further.

The Will Stancil/ICE Observer drama tonight is the latest chapter in leftist networks self destructing in infighting and accusations of insufficient dedication since the Spanish Civil War. Will got a lot of attention and had a lot of media ride alongs. Ergo he must be a "security risk"

Yep. This is a personal motive disguised as OPSEC
I've done anonymous antifascism for over a decade now and I'm going to say kicking Will Stancil out of RR groups abruptly is very obviously about someone(s) trying to seize control of the movement messaging for their own personal ends and not at all about security.

I'd also note that barrel aged whiskey wasn't a thing yet. Whiskey in the 1770s was clear, unaged corn product and it was harsh. It was typically stored in a salt glazed jug like below. It was a common trade good but not what you served to friends in a nice house.

Federal agents cornered Marimar Martinez, shot her several times, boasted about it, arrested her, lied about her to the public and in the police report, and falsely charged her with assaulting them.
Now the government wants to keep evidence of their lies secret to protect these agents' "privacy."

Yeah, a lot of so-called moderates really do not understand that you cannot negotiate with MAGA--not just because that would be moral cowardice, but also because you literally cannot negotiate with them. They have one goal, and it is the elimination from civic life of anyone who is unlike them.
We can't surrender. And I don't mean that in a rah-rah, go team Captain America speech sort of way. I mean we literally can't surrender because there is no negotiated outcome which they find favorable to breaking more and more and more. There is no zone of possible agreement.
