I don’t believe in heaven, but boy is it satisfying to know that 1) he does and 2) he’s increasingly, dreadfully certain that he’s not going

This is a good idea. Especially if the list contains links to footage etc to be used in courts and at hearings

The giveaway is the passivity: hoping that other people are taking action, calling on no one in particular to “DO SOMETHING”. His handlers want to present an image of boundless presidential authority & capacity. But Trump himself, since Term 1, has never really internalized that he is the president

A fascinating theory! You might yet wind up persuading me

Hannah Walser @hkpmw.bsky.social · 3d

Middle-aged white people (i.e. my demographic) need to hear that simply keeping your head down and staying out of trouble won’t work as long as DHS is in your city. They need, imo, to feel like getting ICE out of town is a personal safety issue. I think videos like this help make that case.

From the standpoint of optics & organizing, it’s really important that the Chicago agents are attacking and brutalizing white people. Not protesting students, either, but middle-aged middle-class white people doing their jobs.

Reading request! If you could recommend one text that explored the history of an idea/concept in a riveting and surprising way what would it be? Please re-skeet if you can. I know this is a niche ask.
