my father (a retired white engineer who has been in oklahoma for 40 years) is my weathervane for what normal people who just watch the news periodically think, and he was like “so, they want to call the guard out on a bunch of kids wearing frog suits? is that true?”, the admin is losing the PR war

WELKER: Are you looking at invoking the Insurrection Act?

VANCE: We have to remember we are talking about this bc crime has gotten out of control

W: Crime is down in both Chicago & Portland

V: Crime is down bc they are so overwhelmed at the local level they are not even keeping stats properly

I really wouldn’t be shining lasers at helicopters if I were you. It’s illegal and could cause an aircraft to crash - and that could kill a LOT of people, in the air and on the ground.

And the ICE goons appear to be *salivating* at the chance to claim people that they arrest were doing this:

saw someone arguing that MTG's anti Israel noises suggest that she's a more reliable moral voice longterm than most centrist Ds, and...like, people really need to acknowledge just how antisemitic she is and what role that plays in her approach to Israel policy. 1

any cop who walks because mamdani gets elected is almost certainly a cop who fears accountability and should never have been hired in the first place

Mark Misoshnik 🏴 @misoshnik.bsky.social · 1d

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Using fear to sell your message is...

* Maladaptive

* Manipulation

* Abusive

Sure, some folks won't wake up until they are afraid, help them to find their own fears, not yours

I'm just gonna block you, so all your replies disaapear.

Can we agree non-combatants anywhere should not be killed?

I thought that was, ya know, part of the problem with genocide.

Just say all Jews should be killed and be done with it.

Jeffrey Sens @jeffreysens.bsky.social · 3h

If you don't say violence against non-combatants is justified, you are a Zionist. GTFO

Jeffrey Sens @jeffreysens.bsky.social · 3h

You replied to a post about Mamdani and what he said to be called a Zionist.

Go reply on someone else's thread with a completely pointless comment.

Jeffrey Sens @jeffreysens.bsky.social · 3h

I just sighed. One of the foremost political candidates saying on national TV that Israel is committjng genocide, but he is a Zionist because he didn't blame Israel for 10/7?

If Jill Stein is a bellwether for you, I think it safe to say you will never get anyone elected.

*Yes I know. Don't make political office holders your hero. But you should praise them when they do right and push them when they don't.

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

Jeffrey Sens @jeffreysens.bsky.social · 3h

Man some leftist Jill Stein voters are wacked.

They're saying Mamdani is a Zionist because he called 10/7 a war crime and said Israel and the UC are engaged in genocidal war.

Like what do you want? Hamas was justified?

One of the nastiest things from these nasty pieces of work has been the lie that kidlit creatives, teachers & librarians are somehow grooming kids.

Statistically, a parent, guardian, or other relative is more likely to be the perpetrator: www.nationalchildrensalliance.org/media-room/n...

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.
