the best antidote to blackpilling is remembering that every video you see of an ICE thug abusing their power was recorded by an American who volunteered to put themselves in harm's way for the sake of people they've likely never met and never will
/2 In light of that, I am in awe and deep respect of the people who are still showing up to monitor the ICE Gestapo, protect and defend their neighbors, do whatever they can to hold ICE to account and call out their lawlessness. What incredible bravery.

It has been an obvious, sometimes even almost stated project of Trump 2.0 to engineer a redo of the post George Floyd protests of 2020, this time with much more state violence. And now a federal agent has shot and killed a woman in a car at point blank range a mile from where Floyd was murdered.

Former government officials rarely write good books.
But a new book by two veteran peace negotiators is an exception. It tells the timely story of how the two-state solution failed, despite its authors spending much of their careers trying to make it a reality.

How the two-state solution became a “big, expedient lie”
In a new book, Robert Malley, a veteran US peace negotiator, argues it is well past time to think beyond an idea he spent much of his career pursuing.

Someday, we're gonna find out that the decisionmaking went like this:
Mamdani proposes city-run grocery stores. Conservatives say it'll never work. Mamdani supporters point out that DOD runs a bunch of grocery stores. Hegseth decides to close them to own the libs.

I know these guys are all dumber than a sack of hammers, but it is fascinating to see the military decide “logistics are gay” in real time

Clarence Thomas announced that he doesn't care about precedent and is making it up as he goes along. He didn't say it *like that* of course, because then people would have noticed.
But I noticed, through the jargon, and explain it here in @thenation.

It is not our job to determine if resistance is hopeless. It is our duty to render it effective, at all possible points, while we are alive. It is the future that will determine if our efforts were victorious, not the present. To act fully in the present means to never face defeat.

Complying will only allow fascists to go down their checklist faster. They will not spare you.
Fascism is about an ever shrinking ingroup and sooner or later it'll be your turn on the chopping block. This is why solidarity is so important.
We gotta fight fascism in every corner and at every turn.

Let's all to take a deep breath & understand that we have reached the phase in fascism where if they want to declare you a criminal, you are a criminal. You can not magically avoid it, or do exactly the right thing to stay off the list. Fascism must always have enemies, and one day you will be one.
