Like, "I can smear others by an association I've made up" is just running the MAGA playbook for the blue team. I feel no need to defend whatever it is the "dirtbag left" is or was but I hate watching these fucking people reject the concept that words have meanings

He who shall not be defended in the replies pointedly missing out on how weird it is to call her "leftist" to get his own frankly pretty pathetic attempt at a zinger too. that level of deep intellectual analysis is why he's got a job at the Times

There's a lot of talk about the psychopathy of the average recruit or whatever but so much of what makes an effective careerist in any of those orgs is a willingness to submit to a heirarchy that they know is going to do horrifically bad things because they'll get to be the good guy

I have a greater than average sympathy for the fed/operator types on account of the amount of time I've spent listening to them & what you pointed out in the blood work interview that those guys jokes tend to come from experience instead of terminally online racist hyper fixations

There was an interview with one of the ICE guys who worked actual sex crimes where he was whining about how when he got sent out to man the lines during the 2020 protests new yorkers were treating him like he was a bad guy & that was unfair because this wasn't his usual job

while mid that kind of writing is serviceable for something set during the collapse of society where it's all about aesthetics but post apocalypse it really is just half baked. Credit where it's due they do a pretty good Evil Vegas right out of the book but there's not much else to feel good about

if a character builds a macguffin in the original then they find it premade in the new one. it's an apocalypse where the writers it cannot imagine the characters making something on their own instead of finding it pre-made. It's just bad in a confusing way

there's two, the 90s one is very much limited by budget & can't stick the latter third as a result but there's a lot of heart and craft put into it. Then there's a COVID era one which has a couple inspired scenes but is not particularly good & has this weird passivity baked into it

@resurrectedrena34.bsky.social I'm the descendent of Ukrainian Jews who settled in NYC. If Holocaust education is done by a one field trip to an org that flies an Israeli flag in the lobby and censors criticism of fascists and genocidairs within its own exhibits it's a shit holocaust education

the shift to explicit & open support of Zionism in the museum of Jewish heritage is well documented. You can disagree on the extent to which that matters but I'm not sure how pointing that out is comparable to happy merchant memes jewishcurrents.org/new-york-hol...

Critics say the deletion—due to a board member’s intervention—exemplifies how museum leadership has increasingly catered to the right.

It is no surprise that a lifelong kapo for the patriarchy who demanded the public sphere take her seriously came to the defense of an empty headed and supremely unqualified kapo for capital. Solidarity between people who've sold out their gender and class for a spot at the table

@pinstripebungle.bsky.social Really good QAA ep, clear summary of what the non SMEs needed to know for context & how it matters. My big post Trump fear (beyond how it happens) is that the only people who've been paying attention to how fed agencies actually work are russ vought and his ilk

The last four years of the entire cabinet openly bragging that their intent is to kill and displace Palestinians and annex territory that is not theirs under isn't proof of intent huh

adequatefarmer.bsky.social @adequatefarmer.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

And that leads to a problem I've seen a number of times the subject comes up which is that this meme of Tiananmen Square is worse than any subsequent instance of state violence because the latter can be measured and the former is immeasurable

0180

adequatefarmer.bsky.social @adequatefarmer.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Its unquestionable that the protests ended with a violent coccupation of Tiananmen Square in which the Chinese state killed its own citizens- but "Tiananmen Square" to an American is a meme in the literal sense. It just means "Bad Thing That Happened"

1250

adequatefarmer.bsky.social @adequatefarmer.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I think it's also worth noting that in American culture tienamen square is shorthand for a lurid night of violence in which tanks ground up bodies into pulp in order to cover up a massacre. There's no mention of how many of the deaths- govt records or estimated- took place prior to June 3

"Ludicrously capable" The US went to war in 2002 with world class planes and pilots designed and trained for a completely different war & unsuited for the one they fought. What are the capabilities of the F35?

Your pitch for Jewish existence is predicated around defending Israel which calls your anthropological credentials into question. My family came from Ukraine & spoke Yiddish. There's a lot more to Judaism than pretending "Til Jerusalem" meant the goal was to go back there and ethnically cleanse it.

adequatefarmer.bsky.social @adequatefarmer.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Birthrates going up year over year has nothing to do with how many Palestinians are killed. It has nothing to do with the targeting and destruction of medical infrastructure that kills even more. You just need a set of numbers that in your mind bsolves Israel of guilt to obsess over.

"The claim is a total fucking lie because I said it is". Really impressive display of intellectualism and scientific rigor. Who could I possibly believe, you or my own eyes?

One day you're going to look back on all the time you spent defending ethnic cleansing and supremacism by dodging questions and changing the subject huh you will be hit with a wave of shame so profound that the thought will leave you paralyzed

Fellow Hudson valley Jew here. If that "safety" is built on the genocide and ethnic cleansing of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians- actions that increase the risk to other Jews the world over- yeah that calls into question whether the Israeli project is morally worth sustaining.

Again if you want the full picture here go give Jen Budd a follow and listen to a few of her interviews on the history of the border patrol especially the CITs and private detention facilities. Blame Trump all you want, that's not going to change the history or scale of culpability.

000

adequatefarmer.bsky.social @adequatefarmer.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

So you're saying that you do not know what was happening prior to Trump and you don't care. This is a problem because this is not a trump specific issue. He accelerated it but this has been building for decades with bipartisan support/silence from regulatory bodies. That should concern you.

adequatefarmer.bsky.social @adequatefarmer.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Also just on a personal level "I'm not going to check and see if people were being abused before I was paying attention because I have a life lol" is an embarrassing thing to say. Consider that for a minute

adequatefarmer.bsky.social @adequatefarmer.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

You made the claim that this OIG report is "significantly worse" than what came before. I'm asking you if you understand what came before which you clearly do not. Which is a serious issue bc this is not new. Go read the Detention Kills archive and give Jen Budd a follow detentionkills.substack.com

This is significantly worse than what exactly? Can you name any of the private detention facilities, contractors that run them, or investigations- OIG, GAO, or otherwise into them? Any of the names of the people who died in them? Do you know what the border patrol critical incident teams are?

This was just the first time the people involved decided it was safe to brag about abuse and graft instead of covering it up

adequatefarmer.bsky.social @adequatefarmer.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

No disrespect man but American tax dollars have been funding shit like this for most of our lives. The reports from numerous ICE/CBP contract detention facilities over the past 10 years are just as bad, didn't get mainstream coverage, and only lead to CBP building internal coverup mechanisms

This is a marginally more formalized version of the burning of Magnus hirschfield's clinic & the leadup to aktion t4. If your problem is that people whose lives are explicitly under threat from the federal government aren't being nice enough you are a bitchmade loser doing ground work for facists

Shouting into the void here but the current administration is explicitly sabotaging the ability of trans individuals to get state or federal ID as well as their right to own firearms & are destroying federal BOP SOPs and infrastructure specifically to torture and abuse trans inmates
