My one thought on yet another round of mutual aid discourse on this site is thst its more proof that a lot of the online lefts political beliefs are just three libertarianisms stacked in a trench coat

This vision of California is the vision of America that's going to win and everyone who wants to stop it from happening is cordially invited to die mad.
I love the east Bay Area. People of different races and religions live and work together to build the American Dream. We in liberal society take this for granted but the national rise of extremism stemming from online content seeks to take this away from us.

Americanism is facing its biggest challenge from extremism. The people of the Bay Area show why its worth fighting for.

It really is wild how Stephen Miller in particular (but most of this admin too) is so wrapped up in his own fervent extremism that he cannot tell how fucking awful "grabbing people over Christmas" looks to the large amount of the country
There’s something in here about how after Jesus was born, Joseph fled with Jesus and Mary to Egypt under the cover of night…for ~4 years until Herod died.

so the existence of this letter has, actually, been written about before - the question is whether it’s authentic or not

because, uh

“I killed myself and Trump is also a pedophile” is pretty clear if so
DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

this is a responsible way to approach this (not that ashton’s isn’t)
I just wrote an article about this and decided not to publish it yet. It is in the DOJ files (file got renamed after originally published and taken down. It’s online now). But too many unknowns about whether the letter itself is real or not. Some additional info though:

our online lives have really warped the way we act in public, especially post-COVID
"talk shit, get hit" is a very simple lesson that folks on the internet have been able to avoid learning. Unless they bring their shtick into the real world.

Unfortunately, there is a certain sort of leftist whose brain breaks once they feel they've been deprived of their revolutionary birthright by losing to the Jews, and they fall *deep* into the deep end of the pool.

It seems Jamaal Bowman may be in that category. Sad.

It's worth asking: was there ever a real Trump Vibe Shift to begin with? Or was there just a negative reaction towards leadership that appeared out of touch with persistent economic concerns? Because the latter explains the public's views towards Biden AND Trump

yeah, I think something like “dismantle ICE” has a much broader coalition for it now, including a large swath of normal liberals for whom ICE has become the face of the administration’s horrors

the Overton window here works both ways, the larger the overreach the larger the backlash
Running for office on dismantling ICE would be a good example of touch-the-stove politics.

Public opposition probably wasn’t enough when it was mostly warnings. I wish it had been. But now that ICE’s brutality and repression is widespread, undeniable, and in so many social media feeds, it might be.
i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

Trump's Epstien cover-up is the most incompetent cover-up ever.
Here's a better view of the now-deleted photo showing Trump with Epstein and Trump with a group of young girls.

The photo was originally posted as item EFTA00000468 but was later deleted. Now the 'official' list simply jumps from EFTA00000467 to EFTA00000469.

I continue think it’s weird to make up a hypothetical future Democrat to get mad at in response to Republicans doing bad things, I will also bet actual money none of this shit sticks around in a Dem administration
There's a series of things (like the ballroom, Gulf of America) that we're going to have to *undo* the moment this guy is out of office.
And yet I can already hear future Democrat presidents saying "I'm focused on the people's work, not the knucklehead stuff" and just leave this man's shit up.

Khanna says he and Rep. Thomas Massie "are exploring all options" — including impeachment of DOJ officials, inherent contempt, or referring individuals for obstruction of justice.
