Out for community patrol for my local Rapid Response Network. It's Dia de Los Muertos in Mountain View, and we were keeping our eyes out for ICE.

Man asked me if 'Wide Awakes' was a new band.

Me: "Yeah, Abe Lincoln's Boy Band."

Partido Revolucionario Institucional?
I always thought that was a weird party name, now, not so much. Institutional revolution is what the nation needs.

This essay rightly points out that ALL of the areas of risk management the Admin has destroyed will make the response to any terror attack that much worse.
As I have been pointing out over and over, the destruction of the societal risk management capabilities of the government is THE story.

Six months ago I wrote this post about “the next terrorist attack.” I republish it now (lightly updated) because my fear of this scenario has recently grown much greater.

60 years old ain't Boomers. It's whatever gen came after.
Pretty sure COVID took enuf MAGA boomers who wouldn't get vaxxed, so that now us elders are at least even steven. But the largest support for MAGA comes from the 45 to 60 cohort, if I'm remembering correctly.

A chart of YouGov polling data with the headline: "Americans 65 and older are more likely than younger Americans to have to have protested by boycotting products and calling representatives."

The chart's sub-headline is: "Which, if any, of the following forms of protest have you ever participated in? Select all that apply. (%)."

The chart has the note: "Note: Responses selected by fewer than 3% of Americans are not shown; these are "performing protest music publicly," "interrupting a speech by a political figure," "blocking traffic," "refusing to pay taxes," "rioting," "burning an American flag," "establishing encampments," "locking yourself to structures," and "defacing property." Responses of "none of the above" also are not shown."

Someone - if not the principal then presumably a professional advisor on law or PR - must have looked at the sentence "these censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations" and said "hang on, that makes it look like you don't believe him" And yet.
