"We are so profoundly unprecedentedly siloed in our information distribution systems that we simply don't hear each other."
Sorry, John Green, that's bullshit. THEY are in an information silo. WE have been hearing them on fucking repeat for 10 years while they ignore the outside world.

What's making me really livid right now is thinking back to the years of commentary lecturing us that the rise of MAGA was rooted in a sense of righteous victimization by overbearing liberal elites, and sneering at those who insisted that it was fundamentally about domination and sadism all along.
They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"
"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"
"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"
A St. Paul resident says federal officers knocked on her door and asked her to identify Hmong and Asian households in her North End neighborhood last week.

Parents, if you didn't have a problem until now of not posting pics of your kids on public social media, now might be a good time to start (and maybe scrub what's there already).

I've only been on a jury once. It was a criminal case about a pedophile. I won't go into details, but the victim testimony gave me nightmares.
It's a horrific crime. I understand why it freaks people out so much, they'll compromise basic civil liberties to stop it.
Unless… it's their god.

This is why my most "scare the hoes" political opinion is: MAGA is avodah zarah.
When I call MAGA/GOP post-truth, this is what I mean. It’s hard for people who value truth to fully grasp.
“But don’t they care about underlying facts? Don’t they worry it’ll come out?”
No, they really don’t. They reject that factual reality matters. Words are just things you say to get something.
