spent a little time thinking about what will happen with the live-streamed footage of a firing squad execution on this internet we have and I don’t think a society comes back from it

this kind of civic celebration of official violence seems designed to implicate as many people as possible in the crimes of the state, which prepares the ground for more violence

Die AfD in Europa: Keiner mag dich
In Deutschland ganz weit oben – in Europa ganz allein: Rechte wie Meloni, Farage und Le Pen halten die AfD auf Abstand. Der Grund: Blut.

I really think he's lost his marbles, like for real, in his own statements you can tell that he thinks of himself as totally untouchable and all-powerful; he's kinda figured out that he can do and say whatever he wants and his personal accountability is absolutely zero

Mamdani: "We are talking a federal agency that is ripping families apart, that's willing to endanger the lives of a 5 year old child as well as any New Yorker in the surrounding area, % then after the fact, seeks to blame the person and the city at large as opposed to reflect upon their own actions"

I had the same reaction. There's also just one party which has actively promoted violent rhetoric for decades, yet nowhere does this get called out.

KARL: This idea of livestreaming an execution -- US Catholic Bishops called it 'a barbaric promotion of culture of death.' Are you in favor? EMMER: I'm so happy we have a president who will make a decision in the best interest of the people. He will hold the criminals and terrorists accountable.

This is a good article, but for the love of god, the press has to more clearly call out the source of the violent rhetoric. This is not a thing where bot sides share culpability.
