They’re members of the public, we would never have heard the end of it had the inquiry not talked to them, but god I hope the inquiry team went in with eyes absolutely *wide* open on who they were dealing with

From Aug 1 CDC data, COVID levels are moderate to very high almost everywhere in the US. Hospitalizations & deaths are increasing as well (these are lagging indicators, but levels have been high in parts of the country for many weeks). Schools are restarting already in some areas. Take precautions.

also I read through this entire thing waiting to see if they'd ever actually talk about policy and it just...never happens

just like 2000 words of inside baseball stuff generally toned to imply an authoritarian masterplan isn't much to worry about because the office wasn't heavily summer staffed

Since June, America PAC has spent over $21 million on canvassing, digital media, text message services & phone calls.

Since July , they've spent over $800,000 on digital ads that encouraged people to register to vote at THEIR website which ONLY takes their personal data and does NOT register them.

Yes this is paranoid. I got radicalized around 2016 when Facebook exploited an Android security bug to READ ALL YOUR TEXT MESSAGES and send them to their servers.

Thanks for Reggie Jackson for saying this, and contempt and defiance, in advance, to the worthless shitbirds who will say he shouldn’t have and that he oughta leave if he doesn’t like it.

Regrettably those worthless shitbirds are now fairly mainstream.

If the Founders had wanted this country to be a theocracy, seems like they probably would've mentioned it in the actual Constitution, right?

Or if they spaced on it, maybe in the Bill of Rights a few years later?

Oh, but you found a quote from one of them in a private letter? Cool. Cool cool cool.

Mainstream coverage of academia this year was all about "wokeness," AI, and accusations of anti-semitism re: Palestine protests, but this is the real story underlying all else. Most people outside of academia have no idea the extent to which higher ed is contracting and crumbling.

This was one of the favorite tactics of southern segregationists governments. It’s why freedom riders buses were bombed and so many organizers were disappeared and murdered. It’s ‘good’ (effective) if the state’s goal is to let civilians do the dirty work of eliminating dissident
there are a lot of ways for the state to suppress dissident speech. one particularly bad one is by having armed agents of the state stand by and do nothing while partisan-aligned thugs or paramilitary groups beat you because of your speech, and then have the DA decline to prosecute the assaulters.
