Some words for October. I'd include a line from the story to try to generate interest but it'd just be the first sentence and you can read that in the blurb.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

This is just part of patrol. ICE threatens you, points guns at you, brutalizes or kills someone in front of you. Every day it's somebody new in our circle. We gather around them while they work through the stress and fear and then, to the person, they go back out.

Friend who's part of a neighborhood watch group says their car was just surrounded by ICE. Is fine but obviously rattled.

The GOP just had its best chance to finally flip a legislative seat in Trump 2.0. Democrats had other ideas.
Chasity Martinez just won a rural Trump+13 in the Louisiana House in a 24-point landslide—an overperformance of 37 points.

To be clear this is the equivalent of a chatbot being like “yes indeed we AIs are going to enslave humanity” because they’ve been trained on stories about AIs enslaving humanity
This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

I genuinely think this is a very good tactic. Treat collaborators like what they are. Use every possible method at every level of government to make it clear that collaborators will be punished.
