As a staunch critic of the Catholic Church: the Protestant Reformation has been a disaster for mankind and Martin Luther should be rendered damnatio memoriae.

Negativity bias has a bunch of people immediately gravitating to believing the worst about folks. YET in reality, most people are pretty decent and are trying to live their lives. Folks buy into the "people are terrible" hype and that only serves other terrible people.

new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity.

How ICE Raids Are Making It Easier for Civilian Men to Assault Immigrant Women
"This phenomenon is only possible because of the outsized power that state agents have always had to abuse and control women and victims' bodies," argues Kylie Cheung.

This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt.
Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

Here, those claims will serve as cover for something far more elaborate—the deployment of the National Guard, using the same arguments that were made in L.A. Understand, they will say this no matter how people resist. When there is any spectacle or standoff, they will claim they are under attack.

Also true that a lot of Americans burned things the last five years. Our militarized police attacked them and I believe there are credible accounts of assassinations.
