this is specifically what Twitter was re-engineered to do, btw. it exists almost solely to threaten anyone at the flashpoint of a nascent social movement.

Newsom has vetoed a bill that would have prohibited future governors from handing over abortion providers, helpers, and patients to red states for criminal prosecution. The bill also barred extraditions involving transgender care.

i am genuinely bewildered by people who say that the rise of white nationalism in the republican party is a response to the "woke left." like, did the woke left cause pat buchanan's 1992 presidential campaign? is the woke left why steve king had a long career in congress?

‘Who is not enforcing this?’: ICE officers continue to mask up despite state ban
As the Yakima Valley sees a dramatic surge in immigration arrests, the state law meant to hold ICE officers accountable puts the burden of enforcement on the people getting deported.

Wildfires swept through parts of Spokane County just days before the August primary, forcing thousands to evacuate. A RANGE analysis found turnout fell more in fire-affected areas compared to the 2022 primary, as voters faced disruptions to casting their ballots.

A reminder that people who know anything about politics -- what the parties are, what they stand for, their record, who they've elected, how government works -- are a freakish minority. Most people know *nothing at all* past the vague mythologies that sift down through pop culture.

Would assume everyone knows it by now, but just in case "First the traitors, then the invaders" is an explicit reference to The Turner Diaries, where a white supremacist revolution overruns "The System" and kills all their enemy during the evocatively named "Day of the Rope".

FREE SPEECH UNDER ATTACK: Marco Rubio just had a man arrested and jailed, and is seeking to deport him, because he publicly supported Petro and opposed a presidential candidate in Colombia that Donald Trump would prefer to be elected. He committed no crimes and had an asylum application pending.
Franklin Humberto Coral Garrido, a progressive online activist known as Beto Coral, is a supporter of President Gustavo Petro of Colombia, a leftist who has clashed with President Trump. He has publicly criticized Abelardo De La Espriella, a right-wing candidate backed by Mr. Trump. Mr.
Coral was arrested by immigration authorities on Tuesday, the same day Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a memo determining that he was deportable from the United States.
In the memo, Mr. Rubio noted that Mr.
Coral arrived in the United States in 2015 on a tourist visa and has a pending asylum application. But "Coral Garrido has used his presence in the United States to conduct political activity in support of the Petro government" and has advocated against a candidate for president, Mr. Rubio wrote, according to a copy of the memo obtained by The New York Times.

Both Hillary Clinton and Marco Rubio seem to be describing Netanyahu using the same tactic 14 years apart. The difference is, it seems, the same tactic worked this time.

Hillary Clinton says when she was Secretary of State there was "constant" and "relentless" pressure by Prime Minister Netanyahu and then-Defense Minister Ehud Barak to secure
U.S. backing for a military strike against Iran.
Clinton recalled hours-long phone calls where Israeli officials used leverage tactics, frequently telling her their "planes are on the tarmac" to imply an imminent, unilateral strike.
Clinton says she would respond to pressure like that with: "Well, good luck."
The New Yorker's David Remnick asks if she felt the U.S. was being manipulated or "played" by a foreign ally that receives an enormous amount of American aid, Clinton agreed and said it happened "all the time" due to Netanyahu's intense focus on the issue.

Marco Rubio: "We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn't preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties."

The fact Twitter is pushing Hunter Biden into people's "Following" tab who aren't following him really gives away the game they see his promotion as hurting Democrats. Those slots are usually reserved for right wing cranks.
