Given that neither party actually signed anything, and that things on the ground broke down within 24 hours, I think your priors here are right. Whatever this may be is certainly better than open war, but it’s no peace.

from my WIFL interview with @jdandeneau.bsky.social

I don’t know how many people have actually internalized this, but the vast majority of local Democratic operations are staffed and run by blue-haired little old ladies who have been doing this for 40 years and are funding it with bake sales, and are keeping the flame alive in a time when parties are as weak as they’ve ever been. If you are under the age of 50 and you show up and act normal for, like, 3 months, they will do whatever you want because they’re so excited to have a young person there. Parties are weak right now because of some factors that are outside of our control, but a lot of factors are within our control and the big one is that we just haven’t paid enough attention to the atomic-level units, and party infrastructure. If you strengthen those, then party identity as a whole will follow. Party strength as a whole will follow.

I've also got my day job where I work in a community agency so I'm on the front line of a lot of shit in a different way.

Right! Especially when the folks running things DESPERATELY want violence to justify their actions.

Why are so many of these accounts actively advocating playing into these guys' hands?

People advocating against peace without strategy or tactics do not want you to *win*. They want you to be delegitimized.

In this instance I'm keeping my Black ass home.

HOWEVER, I am playing man in the chair for multiple white friends going.

Coordinating a few support measures for the frontliners just in case.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

Ultimately, the death of US manufacturing is about this attitude. It's easy to say "buy american or stfu" because virtue signaling is free. But it's hard to actually sustain a business because many Americans simply don't want to pay what it costs to produce things ethically in this country

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

Fucking agreed. So many times. So many times in the last few fucking years I've had people tell me citizens have no responsibility for unfavorable outcomes in our system.

It's bullshit.

There is no way for citizens in a republic to abdicate their responsibilities.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Everyone who told you to support John Fetterman in that primary, is now telling you to support an ex-Blackwater mercenary with no voting record in the Maine primary.

When are you going to catch on?

Good morning my monsterfuckers! (I am late!)

Is your character good at tying knots?

Luka can do basic knots, especially small ones when she makes sutures

Jas knows working knots, from his time as a soldier

Garret, former pirate, KNOWS knots

He demonstrates his knowledge to Seth (consentually) 😈

It also conveniently overlooks the British Empire and the Bengal Famine and the USSR and its slave labor camps, with Vorkuta and Kolyma death camps in all but the narrowest technicalities. Stalin having his own death camps never seems to weigh on judgments of Russians for some reason.

None of this excuses the very real societal issues the US of 1939-1945 had, at all, of course, but the idea we were a nation with a Secret Nazi majority based on the above points when we *saddled up and made an entire industry of turning Nazis into Incredibly Dead Nazis* is just TBI-territory wrong.
