One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

White on white crime is a tragic epidemic sweeping the country.
How many more will we lose to white gang violence and rightwing turf wars?
It’s the culture, you know. These white celebrities glamorize a criminal lifestyle & young inner-suburb kids get trapped in the school-to-influencer pipeline.

There’s a way to be respectful in reporting on Charlie Kirk being shot while also refusing to whitewash who he was and what consequences his political activism has had. Obituaries for public figures are a part of history.

Violent or destructive left wing protest is framed as delegitimising the protesters' stated cause.
Violent or destructive right wing protest is framed as emphasing the need for urgent action on the protesters' stated cause.
As always, right wing men are treated as elemental forces without agency.

This is a bit of a atretch/hope: there were 5 protests, with the largest two being up to 300 people, a total of around a thousand or so people.

This almost got me teary-eyed, because our politics has been turning away from exactly this: reasonable, rational adults willing to tackle our problems with policy, not slogans.

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%.
While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired.

Gaiman was supposed to be one of the good ones, an ascended fan who cared about us all.
But he’s just a traumatized person, spreading his trauma to others.
