the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

It's been said before but it bears repeating: If you've ever wondered what you would have been doing if you'd lived in Germany in 1934, it's whatever you're doing right now.

It's a cliche to say it at this point, but breaking the law for over a year while negotiating a deal that gives two of his biggest campaign donors part ownership over the most influential social media platform in the world would have been the defining scandal for any other president.

Regardless of any agreement, Trump has been breaking the law all year.

Just going to remind you that if the police or any other law enforcement show up you should ABSOLUTELY say
I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT
i.e., then say nothing else except repeatedly demanding a lawyer.

imo "violence aimed at elites from non-elites" is the category of violence most disfavored in elite discourse. and violence that flows from elites to non-elites is not conceived of as violence at all. and these ideas frame the entire elite conception of who charlie kirk was and what his murder means
I think there are a lot of answers that have already been floated around here, and I've even offered some myself, but I did want to sharpen the question a bit.

It's not debating, it's shouting over people and gaslighting them so that their frustrated reactions make you go viral.
I am also very wary of people who think we should spend more time talking people out of their bigotry than helping those directly affected by their bigotry.

the way you actually fight fascism is by locking up as many of their leaders as you can as quickly as you can, and identifying all their sources of power and influence and breaking those. they control the courts? break their control of the courts. crush fox news. destroy the federalist society. etc
“we are fighting fascism by passing the bipartisan infrastructure bill” is the lie you tell yourself because you cannot live with the truth that you are unwilling to take the risks associated with actually fighting fascism

The most rotten thing about JD Vance is that he has three half-Indian children including a son name "Vivek," yet he still prattles on about how you must descend from the Europeans who'd settled America prior to 1861 in order for your citizenship to be valid.
People who feel bad for JD Vance’s kids as family gets booed at Disneyland. I get it, but better those kids know now what their father is about. Other kids are watching their parents get shipped off to gulags.

once again encouraging everyone to read this passage from They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-1945 and reflect a little on the rapidly changing character of the united states we are living through.
thinking about this passage, & how scotus scheduled oral argument on birth right citizenship (which feels like an echo of the run up to the immunity ruling) and did so on a technical issue (which feels like the abortion bounty law standing decision that presaged the overturning of roe v wade)
