Most of us got a song that says:
“This mattered to me. Maybe it will to you too.”
So we pass each other songs instead.
That’s not noise.
That’s people finding each other in the dark.

I used to work on a team with people who had to watch very bad videos professionally, and let me tell you, there is nothing that makes it worth it if it is not your job and your mission
literally anybody whose *actual job* involves having to watch atrocity videos will tell you it's hugely psychologically self-destructive and not something you should voluntarily put yourself through on a daily basis.
Nobody is supposed to be able to "handle" witnessing atrocity and those who think they can are lying to themselves! You're fucking yourself up to feel holy! That's a hairshirt!

Hey so this modern terror squad is doing exactly what they were hired to do. This has always been about terrorizing residents into submission. He didn't cozy up to dictatorship fans for shits & giggles. He idolized them and wants to be one.

Good, direct, unequivocal messaging here.
Also: to Trumpists, lying is a patriotic sacrament. Trumpists lie because they believe, as a tenet of Trumpism, that the people they hate deserve to be lied to and that it’s for the best for the few people they don’t hate today.

Since up to now everyone in DC has either resorted to pearl clutching, writing strongly worded social media posts, or simply voicing their "disappointment", I can't wait to see what they pound out on their keyboards for this one. It's safe to assume we are on our own here.

Remember: Federal officials do not enjoy categorical, absolute immunity from state-level prosecutions. They are entitled to removal to federal court. But conduct that is unreasonable or unnecessary for the execution of their law enforcement duties is susceptible to criminal prosecution.
