The moment in Holy Grail when Lancelot is running toward a castle and the guards just watch him. They cut to Lancelot running in place about 5 times, and he’s never gaining ground, until he’s suddenly right there. He kills the guards and then slaughters a bunch more people.

it's much worse than an "absence of leadership"
this is one of the most powerful, well-resourced tech companies in human history. Even within the realm of feckless capitulation there's no reason for Cook's extracurriculars (attending this cack, the corny statue) unless you approve of fascism

“This isn’t leadership. This is an absence of leadership,” an Apple employee said about CEO Tim Cook's latest capitulation: Attending a White House screening of Bezos-funded "Melania" on the night of Pretti's murder.

Exactly right.
Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.
Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.
Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.
Every possible angle.

Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”

One of the most powerful tools in my rhetorical arsenal is “what will you do differently?” Works with everything from customer service to children to disingenuous politicians and pundits
Yes we need allies in this fight but until someone can answer “what will you do differently in the future,” they’re not an ally they’re just trying to avoid having to flee to Argentina

This is why we had Jim Crow instead of truth and reconciliation after slavery ended. People are so quick to absolve anyone who pays lip service to changing their mind about human rights violations instead of letting them live with the social consequences of their words
Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

I've been thinking about this, and of course there are issues of race and ethnicity and social class, but I think the core of it is: "I need to hoard guns in case the feds try to take MY property. The second amendment is for ME and MINE. You? You're on your own."

“especially by left-leaning types who call you a fascist if you oppose abortion or affirmative action”
No, we called them fascists because they’re fascists, as evidenced by their words and deeds.
After that, they opposed abortion and affirmative action because that’s what fascists do.

Unreconstituted authoritarian shit.
These people have to be stopped, and an election alone won’t stop them. We need arrests, trials, and incarceration for every last person involved in this assault on our people, laws, and ideals. They must be publicly repudiated and shunned.

Pam Bondi's conditions for Minnesota: 1) give us all your state data on your food programs, including SNAP 2) repeal all your sanctuary policies in the state (since it has led to "so much crime and violence") and 3) hand over your state voting rolls. Letter here: www.fox9.com/news/minneap...
