"I'm not in jail so it's not fascism" is my least favorite new white man take. Not true now, and for many marginalized folks never was.

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 don’t even know how they could more forcefully assert that they don’t care about human lives — but ESPECIALLY don’t care about the lives of the poor and minorities most affected by industrial pollution — than to rewrite the cost-benefit calculations to explicitly set the value of those lives to 0.

The creation of CSAM on X is unrelated to whether children use the site or not. So what Badenoch appears to be arguing is that only adults should be allowed to look at CSAM. She’s also implying that that it’s rather judgy and illiberal of the govt to “not like” a CSAM generator

That Grok still has payment processing, when everyone I know — artist or gamer or adult creator —lives in constant fear of deplatforming and debanking over the mere hint of impropriety, is utterly mind-blowing.
Some Grok users, mostly men, began to demand to see bruising on the bodies of the women, and for blood to be added to the images. Requests to show women tied up and gagged were instantly granted.

Just a reminder: propaganda works by pervasive repetition, not logical consistency
I think I’ve mentioned it before but discovering Jacques Ellul’s writing on propaganda as the creation of a totalizing information space where a message is reflected in all mediums and all forms to imply unassailability, as opposed to just “biased messages” was really what clicked for me

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Yeah to say a bit more if a mayor doesn’t think they can order police to confront ICE because the police are disloyal to their democratic representatives then a mayor should say that outloud instead of pretending it’s a firepower issue.

I think the more important question here that no one is asking (or wants to ask) is: would cops even be willing to arrest their buddies? And if they refuse, what does that mean? And if they agree, do we now have a war between different state and federal militarized US agencies?
This is a bullshit answer. With very few exceptions the ICE guys do not want to die for this regime. Conceding the law to the imagined threat of violence is asinine. If “your” cops feel this way that’s their problem, too.
