You know what's really working out great? The general "agreement" that all FBI Directors and all Special Counsels must be Republicans, so that their conclusions will be unassailable when they're investigating Republicans.

important note from libcrusher:

Reactivating temporarily to send a warning.
Since I got doxxed, it appears the same doxxing ring has targeted several other users. I learned that they were banned this week, only for Elon to, apparently, personally unban them. I feel obliged to warn everyone about my experience.

It wasn't just my personal information that got published. Someone, somewhere, got my passwords too. For my banking accounts, brokerage accounts, venmo, etc.
Most of which had different and unique passwords. All these attempts started the day i got doxxed, and have sporadically continued since.

If you know anyone who's been doxxed by this group, you need to have them change all their passwords on every website immediately. Ensure 2FA and any other security measures are in place everywhere.
And, wherever possible, document and report it. Frankly, if you're a lefty of any note, do it now too

If anyone was also a victim of this or knows someone who was, there are ways to reach me. I wish I could go into more details right now. But until that time comes, protect yourself.

I will be deactivating in 20 minutes.
Hopefully, that's enough time for the warning to get out.

So even though they are more fascist now than ever before, it was always correct to call them fascists because they were proactively moving in the fascist direction

Shishiqiushi @shishiqiushi.bsky.social · 20h

The way to think about this is that Republicans were not as bad in the past but the derivative in the direction of fascism has always been positive and encouraged at the time

ryan cooper @ryanlcooper.com · 1d

"they've always been like this" is always a tempting savvy take but it is just not true that Republican staffers were 100 percent open Nazis back in 2004, or hell even 2014. they just weren't

Michael Caley @michaelcaley.bsky.social · 1d

there have been a lot of responses to this arguing that young Republicans were motivated by such feelings but didn't express them openly

and I think a crucial lesson of the Trump era is that there is great value in people not expressing these things openly! that's a big and decisive change!

again, what I constantly think about is what is happening in rural Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Louisiana, etc whenever I see the open brutality they're currently executing in our blue urban corridors. It's what we aren't seeing that is the real terror.

There will be ICE mobs beating protestors in red states this weekend. They won’t try it in SF/LA/NYC where they’re outnumbered 100:1, but they’ll take out their anger on people in Louisville, Memphis, and El Paso.

this is because it is an open fact that local crime in (particularly the remote) west is made up, in no small part, by white supremacist elements and that local policing, in no small part, perpetually struggled with its own infiltration and corruption.

federal LEO was actual law enforcement.

Matthew Downhour @matthewdownhour.bsky.social · 23h

Growing up in the 90s in Montana it always throws me for a loop when Republicans use the term ‘Federal law enforcement’ in a positive way instead of a sneering one

I think a lot of journalists have weird libidinal impulses, which they know aren’t really acceptable topics for articles on their own, so they seek out tiny irrelevant subcultures of people, who have similar impulses and write an article about how interesting and important these people are.

When Alex Karp of Palantir prances around cooing about how much he likes killing people, he's trying to imbue some danger into his business, which if I understand correctly is like an IT contractor / consultancy -- something like Accenture.

They can be dumb scam artists and still dangerous, though.

William B. Fuckley @opinionhaver.bsky.social · 1d

recurring gripe of mine: stop talking about these people like they’re fucking supervillains, Palmer Luckey is grifter bullshit artist who is going to steal a lot of public money in exchange for buggy vaporware, he’s not Lex Luthor. they get off when breathlessl hyperventilating about them like this.
