No matter whether they’re coming from the left or the center, every single person on this site that’s like “I hate Will Stancil but…” sounds like they’re a swing district House Democrats issuing a statement about the operation to kidnap Maduro.

Let's be clear (and I'm not being cute): this is DHS trying to get ahead of the inevitable moment when they shoot a baby.
Controversial counterpoint: don’t shoot babies

This is one of the biggest things I've changed my mind about in recent years. I don't think huge taxes on these guys will fund healthcare or anything, but these bigoted idiots cannot be allowed power.
Lmfao what an awesome proposal. One reason you need a 90% income tax rate at this level is these guys are too stupid to have the amount of power they do. Like giving a glock to a 4 year old

A dishonest equivalization from @chatterton.bsky.social.
Luigi Mangione wasn't "lionized" by Biden or Harris, or by J Oliver or R Maddow, or anyone at that level.
But Good's killer has been lionized at the highest levels possible on the right - by FOX and Noem and the DHS and even the President.

I still don't see how shooting through the windshield of a car is supposed to stop the car. Like, if he was actually in danger he would just be dead. His deadly actions did nothing to protect his own life.
The Minn Star Trib has an excellent frame-by-frame analysis of the Good homicide.
A couple things (also noted elsewhere) stand out. 🧵:
1) ICE agent Ross's first shot, when he *might* have felt in danger, hit 'the bottom corner of the driver’s side windshield.'

This is totally underreported. Trump is not just going after "illegals." He's going after people who were here legally, by changing their status.
These are people who entered the US the right way, and never broke a law. Now they are subject to Trump's whim, his ICE goons, and inhuman detention.

Trump has revoked legal status for at least 1.6 million immigrants over the past year by cancelling programs like TPS and student visas.
Remember: these are people who entered the country legally.
Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

Honestly I feel like the data is extremely consistent with "the gender gap grows when a woman is on the ballot on the democratic side" and for whatever reason nobody is coming to this very obvious conclusion bsky.app/profile/corn...
Compared to previous cycles and across exit polls, the gender gap has remained stable-ish. There's been a gender gap since before Obama. Many of the "18-30 men going right" polls compare to 2020, but it's possible that 2020 was the outlier, and men are just returning to a baseline.

It's only X% efficient at capturing energy that's completely free! Efficiency % is a completely incoherent thing to compare between different input sources
Eg if I have a system that can turn water into gold, if it's 0.5% efficient, that's still worth it

When someone is talking about power generation and they go "solar panels are only XX% efficient" you can dismiss them out of hand. Solar is the cheapest form of power ever discovered, and it'll be centuries before we need other than batteries, lines and more of it

The basic problem is that media elites don't think it's a problem because it happens to people they don't care about, so it simply doesn't register as hypocrisy to them. The people whose lives and careers are ruined are just part of the game, they're not the players.
