Repressed peoples fight back, so to pretend we arent repressed by insisting we dont fight back is all for yourself and repression
And this is why a lot of people disbelieve in trying to rope 'The Press' into coverage because the cohort media with the mass array broadcast won't cover it anyway, and the bespoke press that does is already consumed by us who are involved/supportive
Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.
It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

I think if Americans ever got votes of no confidence, the first year would see about 42 of them, and then we'd simmer down on doing it because we can now.

The fact that *not one* person in Harris' camp can explain why they shouldn't launch their fucking media operation on the Substack platform is... probably all you need to know about that endeavor.

Liberal political inference doesn't engage in barometric readings like this, it's beyond them, they're trying to 'close' every interaction for Democrats, and in the process miss that having to chase around uncooperative miscreants is a sign, a bad sign, correctable if they could imagine agency.
I think a lot about Chappell Roan refusing to give an endorsement to Kamala Harris because of the genocide and for failing to stand up for trans rights and how the response was “wow isn’t she dumb” instead of “this is a sign we’re losing support amongst the young progressive base we need to win”

This is also the logic that editors used to push as many Black people out of their newsrooms as possible, they simply couldn’t trust them to not care about people who look like them, live like them, people they may love.

Extended near universal point - This is also why trying to fuck a Nationalist Chicken repeatedly, dressing it in Patriotism, calling it Civic Duty, any and all of 'Faith In, Trust In, And Belonging to a Nation' to elicit political participation is bozo. Nobody is sincere about it because we mostly
it's the single biggest reason even beyond Trump being a dying pedophile the Nazi comparisons were always a really big stretch - our society looks *nothing* like Weimar Germany
This is a crucial point. MAGA is mostly not made up of people who want to act as foot soldiers for a fascist regime, they want to watch someone else do that. They are above all consumers of content and their love for Trump is as someone who makes the fascism-themed content the crave.

The top federal prosecutor in Minnesota says his short-staffed office has been abandoning "pressing and important priorities" to manage the flood of immigration cases.
Daniel Rosen says his office is buckling under the crushing weight of emergency lawsuits filed by immigrants detained by ICE.

The Us vs Them is not really the Democrats vs. Republicans, it's people who get that these things are not acceptable and those who don't. Those whose morals exist because of the party and those who choose a party because they align with their morals. And you can switch at any time if you're a voter.

Being a Liberal the first 14 years, and being a 'Leftoid' for like 9 now...fair I guess.
I will say that I stopped being a Liberal in part because of the thing Liberals need to work on here. You can't even tell other Liberals as a Liberal 'I think we were a bit arrogant and lazy here' they go nuts

I think the 2016 and 2024 elections showed that leftists have a lot to learn about just sucking it up and choosing the better option and liberals have a lot to learn about listening to the people to their left who say “everything is not perfect.”
Yeah, like these nitwits still haven’t figured out the way to avoid being here is not to spend 18 months poisoning the well against the one option to prevent fascism.
Now that we are here, yes, maybe start listening to us since that was too much to ask before, and you fucked up.

A looming deportation purge in Springfield, Ohio is on pause. But Haitians there are still hiding at home and making plans for who will take care of their kids if they are snatched by ICE and disappeared. A report from the ground:

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

I have stage anxiety cause I cant stop thinking about the audience watching me on purpose (kinda intrusive and expective) and each possible thought, so I talk at about 20 words per minute while surveying the room for every reaction real time, so my already jank memory is shut off, I forget words.

I think the core issue with games like Overwatch that people will never get over is that releasing a sequel is really stupid and pretty much just a cash grab and no amount of improvements will ever make people not feel that

One day I would like to talk at length about 'partisan overshoot' and how a Progressive Liberal tendency should be the last stop of thoughtful Liberalism, but every single 'dummy ass demos' gripe doesnt want a Progressive tendency to develop, they want exactly enough and no more.

You ever think bank runs are a good study in rational self incentive collapsing structured social incentive, and its really difficult to fight the fever of not being last to run...and that also expressed in security culture and how it replicates, not being latest or least adopter or else?

Senator Ciggy cant exist cause Senator Ciggy would be explicitly blabbing about what exactly is happening in the room that is so bad.
Note for chatters: it’s probably extremely bad when a senator on the select committee on intelligence releases, to the public, notice that he’s upset about a covert action that he cannot legally name! Not great!
