and it's a bummer and unfair that the police can just decide to refuse to follow the law, and that business associations etc will flood the zone with propaganda declaring any attempt at a better world a miserable failure
But you have to meet that shit head on and riposte. It can't be avoided.

Most of the political and pundit class lined up the past two weeks as Trump pushed to label everyone on the Left as "domestic terrorists."
Now in the wake of a day of horrific and deadly mass shootings by a Trump supporter and a conspiracy theorist, total crickets.

Let's be clear what this image represents.
Those skull masks were first popularized on the far right by a very specific Nazi terror movement that began on the pro-terror Ironmarch forums and entered mainstream news with the Atomwaffen Nazi terrorist murders.

Tech doesn't work that way anymore. Phones have gotten as good as they can get, in terms of the shit we actually need. Every new generation is at best a tiny iterative improvement. And at worst something that used to work being shoved full of bloatware to create illusory value.

I'm Jewish and I think about antisemitism all the time. I can't tell you how fucking weird it is that Homeland Security posting literal neo-Nazi propaganda generates less discussion about the threat to Jews than a mayoral candidate who believes Palestinians are human beings.
DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man?
Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.

@nytimes.com why are you platforming anonymous white supremacists and calling them 'academics'?
The saga of the NYT's anti-Mamdani story taken from notorious white supremacist Jordan Lasker (they call him an "academic") gets even more amazing: Lasker's only impactful paper, which claimed white people are smarter, is infamous: it misused data so badly it got his tenured co-author fired. 2/
