Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

This is like a satanic parody of the best moments of Reconstruction, which saw the DOJ using federal power to break up white supremacist conspiracies against civil rights. Here, white supremacists in the DOJ are using conspiracy law to attack civil rights.

The double pardon really gives away the game. Adriana Camberos started her second round of fraud just weeks after her first pardon. She was charged, convicted, imprisoned…and pardoned again. Trump supporters are permitted unlimited crimes, while the rest of us can get beaten by the secret police.
President Trump quietly issued clemency grants this week, including to a California woman he had pardoned once before and a man whose daughter had donated millions to a Trump super PAC.

People mock “vote blue, no matter who” but maybe the more apt slogan these days is “vote red, end up dead.”

democrats are obsessed with asking questions like theyre the g-d riddler when the nation is demanding leaders who stand up and make assertions.

I have a suspicion that if Dems just floated a candidate that had the appearance of youthful energetic charisma they'd win an election regardless of the actual policy platforms

I think this is a deeply misinformed country devoured by artifice with no consistent or coherent understanding of anything
New party identification polling from Gallup this week shows Americans are moving against Trump faster than they did in his first term. Adults were R+4 in 2024, now D+8. That 12-pt drop is 3x the change in the first year of his first term.

New, from me: A year in, did DOGE deliver on its promises?

Not the promises it made to us (cut spending, modernize government, improve services). It worsened state capacity.

But it was part of a successful broligarchy exercise in state capture. 🧵

Over the weekend, the White House and the Department of Homeland Security shared posts with a song, "We'll Have Our Home Again."

I dug into the group that performed and popularized it. Its cofounder said his goal was to create "the seed of an eventual government." www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

Today at the Whipple Federal Building in Minnesota while federal agents rushed the protest crowd, one agent is filmed pushing a protester and slipping on ICE. Another agent has his pepperball gun broken and he slips on the cartridge holder while dropping pepperballs all over.

This is the universe these folks have built, one where all that matters is how to convince “moderate” white Americans and nothing else. Nothing about morality, fighting for others, etc.

They frame it as smart, but ironically it’s a lesson in how to constantly lose a messaging battle.
i don't really give a shit if consultants think being anti-ICE is "good messaging" or whatever when people are actively being shot, beat, gassed and jailed.

I am so fucking tired of these pointless fucking fights over rhetoric; if you have a plan for meaningful reform of immigration enforcement you should just release and it and call it whatever the fuck you want.
ICE may be shooting people in the face, sending people to concentration camps, and illegally occupying our cities but, apparently, the Democrats think saying, "abolish ICE" is "emotional" and politically "lethal."
