I guess one clarifying aspect of the regime's occupation of Minneapolis is that *no one* is coming to save us. No elected officials will protect you against the lawless thugs marauding around your streets. They won't even pretend to offer help.
They will hold indignant press conferences though.

in retrospect, it was amazing how much power people like Steven Pinker and Malcolm Gladwell had at their fingertips in the pre-social media era. They could write an airport book claiming potato chips killed more people than all historical wars combined and it would become universal received wisdom

He’s gonna get excommunicated and it’s going to kick off the American schism and things will be so weird
Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

Less than a year and the answer is not really.
I wonder if the week that they abducted and disappeared a student protestor, dismantled the Department of Education, and sent goons with burn bags to the USAID offices will be remembered as eventful 2 years from now.

my one plea as we ring in the new year with Zohran being sworn in as mayor is to take some fucking wins
he’s not going to be perfect, there will be setbacks and disappointments, but take some joy and some pride in the good that comes out of this
