Tech bros are just people, not anointed geniuses or superheroes or whatever else our media tries to sell us. And if you live in a world where no one ever disagrees with you or tells you No, it does very weird things to your brain.

So here's an interesting thing I'm seeing in these conversations about "Canadian wildfire smoke." Some Yanks are saying the wildfires are because Canada outlawed Indigenous traditional burning practices. This way, Canada remains the bad guy for oppressing Indigenous Peoples - which is true. 1/5

one understated lesson from the Platner disaster is that we *cannot* live in a political ecosystem where someone you've never heard of before makes a slick campaign announcement video, it goes viral, and then the people who watched it become ride-or-dies for the candidate

People shouldn't feel bad about previously admiring someone when they didn't know about the terrible harms that person committed, but we should challenge ourselves to consider how pedestalizing and prioritizing the legacies of charismatic leaders can create harmful dynamics. That can be addressed.

So it’s a race: how quickly can a person’s family realize they were snatched and find a lawyer, and how quickly can that lawyer get a habeas petition of file? And is that faster than ICE can load the detainee on a plane to Texas? It’s exhausting and terrifying. It can be life and death. 18/

See ICE wants these cases in Texas, where Trump-infected courts are more tolerant of their antics, more biased against non-citizens, more willing to let DHS fill up concentration camps. (Not all Texas judges, for sure. Plenty are bravely faithful to the rule of law. ICE is playing the numbers) 17/

If you aren't familiar with what DARVO is, get familiar with it. "Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender." The govt is relying on DARVO as a tactic on a national scale, and it is also increasingly a conservative tactic to attack outspoken critics of their ideas, theories, & renderings of history.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
