This was easily predicted by the writers of HBO's "Watchmen" series. One of its writers, Christal Henry, is a former Chicago police officer and discusses the dangers of law enforcement in masks in this Aug. 27, 2020 podcast about this show. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_4Q...

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

In an era of rapid media outlet ownership changes, consolidations, & shutdowns, and subsequent journalist layoffs and transition to freelance/pitch work for multiple outlets and/or self-published work, it will be easier than ever to arrest known journalists if they don't have a W-2 job.
“Independent” is doing too much work in this first wave. They are arresting journalists and just like everything else they’ve done, they’re testing the limits of our resistance by starting wt vulnerable margins.

All those shiny bloated $80,000 emotional support trucks with 6' grilles, blinding light bars, gun racks, Tr*ump flags, and Gadsden wraps, and when the literal federal jackbooted thugs & black helicopters that the right wing foretold actually show up it's a fleet of hatchbacks that answers the call.

Well surprise, he was cut loose first.
If N*em was indeed hired to play aspirational Fascist Valkyrie Race Guardian to white Gen X women as B*vino plays aspirational PG-13 Kilgore to white Boomer men, it would follow that she would be ousted first. She has failed to deliver her segment of the market, and she's still not a white man.
I wonder whether N*em, who like B*vino seems to have been hired mostly to orchestrate and star in video content, was hired specifically to appeal to white women, to be a sort of aspirational Nordic Bombshell Sonnenrad Barbie (mixed iconography, but they love that so long as it's coded as white).

wouldn't necessarily assume inside information, but weiss is a reliable weathervane because she's a pure careerist and there has been a shift.

Tamir Rice both supposedly looked like an adult and supposedly looked like he had a gun in a time and place where it was legal for an adult to have a gun, and all these white American adults nodded sagely that it was tragic but understandable that he was shot and killed on sight.
Interesting how all the gun rights absolutism melts away in defense of federal death squads -- who are allegedly the reason for gun rights absolutism.
Early DHS spin (via Fox News) is that the person shot repeatedly by Border Patrol officers in Minneapolis was armed -- note that open carrying firearms is legal with a permit and notably, they are not (yet at least) claiming that the person fired or even brandished a gun, just had one.

I’ve been reading Trump’s "Board of Peace Charter," and despite the name, this isn’t a multilateral institution, it’s a centralised structure built entirely around the authority of one person (Trump).

It's like GGers who swarmed targets with threats in 2014 now have federal jobs wherein they are queried by reporters, think back to when they spent 24/7 demanding that Anita S recant her editorials, Zoe Q enter a convent, or both cease living, and reply the way their targets did to harassment.
“You are not entitled to a response from us, or anyone, ever,” is what a US Education Department spokesperson wrote to one of our reporters, @megomatz.bsky.social, after she repeatedly tried to get comment from the department and its officials. My column on the condemnation of good journalism.
Our Reporters Reached Out for Comment. They Were Accused of Stalking and Intimidation.
Our journalists reach out to people they’re writing about to ensure fairness. But in this environment, they’ve found their efforts to do so are more likely to be vilified than appreciated.
