i'm against political nicknames in almost all circumstances but incel clown posse is inspired
The member of Elon's incel clown posse in charge of the US Treasury's galaxy brain idea: "Let's take data formatted specifically for computers to read, filter it through an English language model that will completely ignore the structure of the data, and convert it to a different file format."

BREAKING: Rep. Mark Pocan has introduced the ELON MUSK act which would ban "special" government employees like Musk from having federal contracts.
The full title of the bill is the Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy Act.

@5calls.org is also a great tool to recommend. It removes a lot of the prep work (finding the number, thinking about what to say) so you can just make the call.

Let's talk about the "escalation ladder". At any point in a conflict, you have a number of self-defense options ranging from lower risk (legally, ethically, physically) to higher risk.
On the bottom rung of the escalation ladder are options like raising your voice. At the top would be deadly force.

In these scenarios, the predator counts on their willingness to use tactics higher up on the "escalation ladder" than what the victim is willing to use.
By the time the victim makes the required mental shift, it's too late. The predator has already maneuvered them into a disadvantaged position. 6/

TLDR version: When someone decides to punch you in the face & your response is to say “That’s illegal” it gets you another punch in the face, a knee in the balls and a knife in the back.
Unless the Dems give us leadership, today, that can do more than point and gasp, this is it, the new normal.

This is an excellent thread and has been something I’ve needed even in thinking about personal interactions and wanting to be able to react to potentially negative information coming my way. This framing is so helpful.
In my self-defense classes I focus on how most people are socially conditioned to follow the norms of a civilized, polite society — and there is a MENTAL SHIFT required to use violence to defend from violence.

It’s funny when they teach you in scouts to write to your senators to show how you can have a voice in your government
And then you do it as an adult and they just respond with “Ron Johnson has already stated his view…”
