This is the one and only good thing that George W Bush did as president. It has saved millions of lives at very little cost. Why pause it—for a period long enough to cause major damage and death? Because you want (those) people to die.

I work out at a university gym (not my own, happily) and I feel like such an old man (I am) wanting to scream that maybe they can watch TikTok or the match or play their game in the lobby and not on the machine between sets.

Does constantly lying on television in ways that lead to the deaths of innocents constitute the kind of public scandal that should lead to excommunication?

But, you see, no one voted for this, or they didn't realize they voted for this, or..., presumably because none of them have agency or are responsible for their votes or have any obligation to know what is easily knowable.

One does wonder what "Mass Deportations Now!" was supposed to mean.

This is not entirely accurate. People already forget that the immigration platform Donald Trump *explicitly* ran on *exclusively* focused on detaining and deporting the worst of the worst—people with violent criminal records. As soon as the election was over, it became clear what he really intended.
Ah well. Can't disagree here really. Americans did vote for masked agents of the state to kill innocent people, whether they understood that at the time or not. Too bad they didn't listen to anyone who tried to explain it to them bsky.app/profile/atru...

OH wrote his dissertation on the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo. Thinking a lot recently of when I spent a bit of a Thursday walking and talking with them, especially the Linea Fundadora, many of whom were exactly the people who couldn't have imagined it would happen to them.

If everyone just lets this go, that's the ballgame. Anytime they want to kill someone they'll just say the FBI is handling it.
The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

Bari will never explicitly say "it's fine for masked agents of the state to murder civilians." But she will say, again and again, that the people who are upset about masked agents of the state murdering civilians are hysterical, illegitimate, censorious liars.
