Yes, Trumpism's unfailing urge to do the most vulgar and morally repellant thing possible in all situations is exhausting. But the instinct on the other side to describe it all as deft and masterful manipulation of the tools of tyranny, aimed squarely at a sinister goal, is JUST as exhausting.

In bombshell interview, the man who served as Netanyahu’s military secretary on October 7, 2023 says that the Israeli pm passed up clear-cut opportunities to bring more hostages home from Gaza alive because doing so would have risked his political career! www.timesofisrael.com/pms-ex-milit...

a big part of ossoff's rhetorical success is it doesnt contain the compromise and caveats that are a baked-in part of democratic party rhetoric. theres no pretending that his opponent is just misguided or will be pulled back from the edge by "the good republicans." ossoff is saying "fuck this guy"

Royal Norwegian Navy frigate HNoMS Thor Heyerdahl passes the Plymouth Breakwater Lighthouse during exercise NEMO 19. SRC: #NATO on Flickr @vesselspotter.eurosky.social that is something you can print and hang above your bed.
A stone lighthouse stands at left, its lantern guiding vessels through foggy seas as waves break over a nearby concrete bollard and a naval ship appears faint on the horizon to the right.

My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

"Today in Marble Hill, ICE agents fired multiple shots at a man in his vehicle while his 5-year-old child was in the back seat.
ICE's already unwelcome presence in our city has been growing more escalatory and dangerous by the day. Today's shooting is a grave development that requires a swift and immediate response to protect the safety of all New Yorkers.
First, we must have a full and independent investigation of this incident.
"There must also be a full and immediate release of all body camera footage of the incident.
In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials. Target opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.
ICE is a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency.
It does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America. Abolish ICE.”

Yeah and I think the reason people do it is because the stakes are so damn high. But ideally we would all do our best to assess (1) what are the historically predictive indicators? (2) what do those indicators say this year? Because living in irrationality is not exactly great antifascist practice
