All I can think about when hearing about this controversy is this skit youtu.be/ToKcmnrE5oY

Mitchell and Webb: "Are we the baddies?"

If we did I think it would be more like the residential school mass graves than the Nazi camp graves, but still

Brandon @btavshanjian.bsky.social · 16h

Really, what are the odds we’re going to find mass graves at some point in the future knowing the folks who are running this? It’s not zero

The “Muslim” humans have such a minor presence in the book I’m not sure it’s really fair to describe that as a major theme. Unless you’re saying the orcs are the Muslims?

Honestly, I think democrats need an outlet that is nothing but rage bait reporting on absurd policies and actions by Republican citizens and low level local officials

Honestly, if we’re talking about the concept we need to eradicate citizens talking about left wing ideas because they might be attributed to the party by Fox News or another propaganda outlet, there’s no hope

Brandon @btavshanjian.bsky.social · 1d

I mean, I think they’re implicitly referring to ideas by *citizens * that are portrayed in right wing media as representative of the ideas of the whole Democratic Party.

Or rather, pretty sure it was an opinion piece on the raid, I’ll try to find it

The Korean article on the Hyundai raid explained MAGA as a movement seeking to overturn the civil rights movement and I still haven’t found a better description

If it forced the senate gop to get rid of the filibuster, that would be a big long term win

I’m going to assume they’re also surprised to learn that Modesto, Fresno, Bakersfield are Trump supporting areas in California?

And this totally wouldn’t make the news media think it’s buying votes

I mean, they hit all the Fox News priorities for sure. Campus protests, ethnic scholarships, DEI, trans healthcare, trans sports participation. Interesting that I didn’t see anything related to enforcing viewpoint diversity

Brandon @btavshanjian.bsky.social · 5d

I thought it was interesting that the proposed agreement included what looks like to me a functional ban on campus protests

I’m continually amazed how blithely ICE deploys tear gas

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”

I agree with the article that this is better handled as a civil case rather than a criminal one, just because the evidentiary standards for criminal cases are so high

Trump’s tearing down the East Wing to build himself a $350M ballroom while Americans struggle to afford health care.

Senator Ruben Gallego went to the site of the Trump teardown.

People still hate GW Bush, which is good to know

I think defending democracy in terms of minimalism is how we get the fash -curious techbros

Brandon @btavshanjian.bsky.social · 6d

Yeah, this is something that is more of a philosophy of the self question

Where my NIMBY Karens at?

Brandon @btavshanjian.bsky.social · 7d

I mean, Sliwa is a legit candidate of a major party. By normal logic, it’s Cuomo who’s the Ross Perot

Brandon @btavshanjian.bsky.social · 7d

On what basis? The VRA they’re about to gut?
