No protesting the masked police with a mask.
Sadly, the push for anti-mask laws is back. The Alabama House has passed a bill that would criminalize protesting in a mask without a doctor’s note.

Anti-masking laws have never been taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court and have had mixed results in lower courts.

Sandman came up in a chat I am in.
I wish I could still read it and just enjoy it. I cannot even if it is one of the comics that shaped the way I read em.
Just going into preludes and nocturnes, 24 hour diner and sound of her wings were
impactful.
I can recommend reading this instead

I think this is one of the best things I read last year for what it's worth
I don’t expect to ever get a Hugo nomination, little yet a win. But I suspect that if I do get one it’ll be this year, for Cuddled Little Vice, and I’d be lying if I said that wouldn’t make me an extremely happy little nerd.

My neighbor told me he keeps losing falcons to the widening gyre so I asked how many falcons he has and he said he just goes to the falconry and gets a new falcon afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding falcons to drown with the ceremony of innocence and then Yeats started crying.

The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.
James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

I think that 1) this accurately summarizes Miller et al's reasoning, and 2) this is comically stupid reasoning. Mass popular resistance is the eternal political trump card. There is no level of military superiority that can outdo "the people fucking despise you and are willing to stand up to you."

If there’s one thing politics have taught me over the last decade it’s that there’s no benefit to moderating your opening proposal downwards.
I say we hold a yearlong festival in which every single ICE agent is given a trial and then hung. I’m willing to hear counteroffers though.

The medium is the message, and the medium is violence.
They don't tell obvious lies because they want or expect to deceive you; they tell obvious lies to let you know it doesn't matter what you think or know. They're not saying "What I say is real"; they're saying "Reality is whatever I say it is and there's nothing you can do about it."

So I watched the shooting video frame by frame and it looks like:
1) They were beating a struggling man with batons
2) His jacket opened revealing a gun in his waistband or lower back
3) The agent in gray grabbed the gun and was walking away
4) THEN the other agents shot the man in the back

At a certain moment in the development of fascist government, the aim of the lie is no longer to attempt to deceive; it is to boast of your ability to do and say what you please regardless of the truth that everyone can see. It stops being mendacity and becomes boasting, taunting, crowing.
