Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

This was murder. Pretti did not initiate the confrontation. He didn’t strike them. He didn’t brandish his gun. They tackled him, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him.

They are shooting & detaining citizens. We are paying for Trump’s secret police in more ways than one.

It’s amazing. The thirsty, desperate/to-be-relevant, foreign policy commentariat that is so unfortunately platformed by a lot of mainstream media wants to portray the Venezuela operation as “sending a message” to China and Russia and other adversaries. This is so abjectly moronic. (1/x)

I didn't take pics but the feeling of being in a group of people with no visible beginning or end was so thrilling. The opposite of online anomie, and a living counterpoint to the wary, isolated, compartmentalized world the shitheads want to make. It's simple and obvious I guess but it means a lot.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Everyone including media and democrats have completely accepted and promote Trump and MAGAs blame of democrats. If we are stereotyping — The suspect in the picture looks like a groyper or disgruntled MAGA. Homicidally mad about Israel or the Epstein cover up is completely plausible.

“Policy is being set in order to provide content for the MAGA social media hordes”. And reporters label normal reactions to each outrage as partisan and divisive. Ask Dems opposed to military occupation of U.S. cities, for example, why they don’t want to stop crime.

It is impossible to overstate the centrality of social media to our political collapse. Policy is being set in order to provide content for the MAGA social media hordes, who then spiral into greater radicalism, which then results in more extreme policy. Complete disregard for any other goal.
