It’s too bad only farmers are people and not librarians or artists or healthcare workers or researchers.

yes! how can *both sides* turn down the temperature when one side keeps dousing everything in accelerant?
It's also prepping for the establishment just capitulating further, once these assholes are out of power, under the guise of "turning down the temperature."
i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

I’m sorry, why are we using “critics accuse” language here? These are factually, unambiguously, extrajudicial killings. It’s not an opinion. It’s not a disputed or disputable claim.

Project Gutenberg is one of those places that exemplifies what the internet was initially all about: studying, preserving, and celebrating the arts, especially the written word, and Greg Newby was a huge part of that.
Thank you, Greg, and rest well.
Thank you, Greg, and rest well.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of Greg Newby, who led Project Gutenberg ( @gutenberg.org ) with passion and purpose. Greg’s belief in free and open access to knowledge continues to inspire us and so many others working to preserve our shared culture online. gutenberg.org/about/newby....

We will need Nuremberg-like trials
ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.
Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.
He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

The reason every elite institution in the country is propping up pampered millionaire Ezra Klein is that his overarching response to the country’s plunge into tyranny is “Don’t fight the fascists, become a little more like them.”

That's about "the French don't even have a word for entrepreneur" level.
US Envoy to Syria Tom Barrack:
Peace is an illusion. There has never been peace.
There will probably never be peace.
Somebody wants dominance, which means somebody has to submit. There is no Arabic word for submit. They can't wrap their head around submit.

Guy with a Dr. Strangelove avi who’s never heard of the Red Scare
Even ignoring how the Dixie Chicks and “freedom fries” were more than 20 years ago, how do these people look at themselves in the mirror with dignity. Is this really it for punditry now? Is it just “you started it” until the end of time, are you all just nine fucking years old now

In an almost laughable parody, Shellenberger is working on a project examining the left’s “dehumanization” of the right.
The profound level of dishonesty and cynicism it requires to paint dehumanization of one’s political opponents as remotely a left-wing issue is staggering.
Unserious man.

It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

Rufo calling for mass arrests, Blake Masters & Cernovich calling for RICO against Dem & left funders, and a whole lot of everyday people begging for martial law, or, even worse, "gloves off." 99.9% of whom are just spouting off, but today if anything teaches us the damage that one .1% fool can do.
