It makes it harder to get up and run. It puts you in danger of getting trampled if they bullrush. It puts your face on the level with their weapons, which is all kinds of bad.

Booth Tarkington wrote multiple best sellers and won two Pulitzers. I don't know anyone who's read him today.

I spent my whole childhood in gifted programs in NYC public schools. I benefited a lot from them. But kindergarten admissions are undeniably set up to let middle class parents game their kids into better school tracks.

I've met a lot of Evangelicals who consider Mormons to basically be Satan worshippers.

This shit is beyond parody:

"Watch People Die administrators said in an email that Holly lied about his age in order to access the site and was a not a very active user of it, with only seven comments. The email said the site is “adamantly pro-Israel”

There have been tons of ideologically coherent assassinations carried out by dedicated political actors. It's absurd to pretend otherwise.

The dead silence from the media after the Normandale shooting was absolutely maddening. Not in any way surprising, but still maddening.

This is social war and these clowns are way out over their skis stop acting like every blustery statement and gesture reflects real material capacities, what everyone saw today was that they actually cant protect their own and they're desperately trying to make it look otherwise. Stop helping them

I will say days like this do make miss circa-2020 twitter. The memes we could have had.

I remember when Aaron "Jay" was going to be their Host Wessel. Simpler times.

I don't think a Reichstag Fire moment is possible at this point. The news cycle moves too fast and the public's attention span is too short for anything to make that big of an impact. That's what happens when you flood the zone.

Portland wouldn't be much easier. ICE has less than 400 SRT agents total. To be effective, they need a lot of support from local LEOs. PDX has the fewest cops per capita of any American city.

The fact that we have a lot fewer brown people to kidnap also means they'll get less bang for their buck.

People should start building shields for the protests. They're cheap, relatively easy to make, and effective. They were major part of keeping people safe in Portland during the federal invasion in 2020.

During the uprising in Portland, the best shields were made out of old 55 gallon plastic drums. Restaurants sell used drums for cheap. Each drum makes four tower shields and two hand shields. You can get a "how to" zine here:

He wasn't trying to silence a reporter. And he wasn't trying to intimidate anyone. He wanted to hurt someone, so he did. Simple as that.

Fifty gallon plastic drums are an ideal material if you want to build shields. But shields attract a lot of attention and work best when multiple people have them. Umbrellas otoh help with tear gas, can stop pepperballs, are lightweight, and deniable.
