You ever think it's weird that, for all that they were obviously pretty educated people, the framers of the Constitution just started writing at Article II? Like they somehow didn't know the number I existed?? It might be cool if there were some Article I powers. Wonder what those would be.

I really think at its heart philosophy is one giant battle, taking place over many eras and nations, between people who are basically pleasant bureaucrats and people who are sexy murder poets, and it’s both super important and super boring that the pleasant bureaucrats must win.

Also there's a roving Low Trust maniac contingency of the electorate who can be given right or left aesthetics and who basically any faction opposed to whatever has the local aesthetic of Normality can draw on for support. Imo I presently think incorporating them in your coalition is never worth it.

Two community members stand on the street corner of Central Ave and 18th St, watching over a local business in 5° temps with a wind chill of -15°. They are patrolling the area, keeping an eye out for ICE activity, doing what they can to protect their immigrant neighbors.

This really feels like a coda to @trufelman.bsky.social ‘s latest season, wherein the special forces use their uniform exemptions to wear the GOOD camo and then it’s cool because special forces are wearing it and everyone else wants in, et cetera. The cycles of fashion begin anew
Now the actual military has to dress like it’s not the military cuz federal law enforcement agencies dress too much like the military

If you’re American, the chances you had family members fighting against fascism in WWII is Very High. 12% of the US population served, a whole lot more held things together at home. Be the type of ancestor that, in 80 years, they look back at you with pride & gratitude.

I went on a ride along with Will today because I was trying to understand how a mobile patrol works. If you've ever fantasized about being either Spider-Man or Ned Leeds I would recommend going to Defend612 to volunteer. (Spider-Man: patrol. Ned Leeds: dispatch/notetaking/plate checks.)
I don’t want to jinx anything, but ICE presence in South Minneapolis has been MASSIVELY down the last two days, and also far less militarized. Very few masks and uniforms, and efforts to disguise their vehicles. Community watch has been suffocating them, I think.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.
