It’s good to be proud when, and to the extent, America offers rights people don’t have elsewhere.
Kind of less applicable these days, to be sure.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I used to say this all the time, fucking up a far right organizing chat is the easiest thing in the world because they're all externalized anger all the time, and they are as happy to point it at each other as they are at the outside world of people they officially hate.

As a reminder, people moved to whistles after this regime got their billionaire buddies to pull apps that were created to help keep our neighbors safe from the app store. They closed down social media groups where people were collaborating next.

DHS and DOJ were *already* monitoring all your big Signal chats, they have been doing it for years. All unvetted chats have feds in them. And it's safe to assume every 20th person in a vetted chat is a fed too. Don't let it stop you from organizing.

It is a sensible default that public servants interacting with the public should be identifiable. It’s not reasonable to claim as an ethical principle that anonymity should never be pierced through legal means. (Sometimes anonymity is used to facilitate and conceal crimes, for example)

This excerpt from @adamserwer.bsky.social's latest points to something that Alex Pretti's vocation as a nurse brought to mind: What we're seeing in Minneapolis is resistance, but resistance based on care.
I've said before that what we need is a care economy. What we're getting is a care resistance.
