A murder by secret police in Minneapolis, the hub of the upper middle western province of Minnesota, has led to protests and increasingly heavy handed repression by state security services. Outside experts say this may be the spark that ignites a powder keg of simmering unrest against the regime
I think it’s fair to say that there is a low-intensity civil conflict in Minnesota right now.

Sohrab Ahmari thinks that the officer was in danger and had a right to kill Renee Good.

He's obviously doing a lot, and destroying a lot...but remember that he's also getting defeated all the time and plenty of the stuff he claims to be doing never happens either because he lies or because he's stopped or both.

Things are bad, and they are getting worse. And they’re getting worse even as, and maybe because, the resistance continues to stiffen. My best guess is that there’s some relation between the two.

need more cosmopolitan chauvinism imo. to be able to go to a world city and do this without crossing a border is something you should be proud of, it means you're a great country. To want to tear it down means you are inbred provincial hog with no greater drives than envy and fear.
Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.
