hey I like that we're all posting thru it but I also wanted to say, in case anybody else is feeling it, that I'm pretty scared and genuinely think that we've passed a real rubicon in the past week or so and that being at the mercy of a handful of dumbfuck lunatics really does a number on your soul.

YES omg yes like "purgatory" has been my prevailing state daily since early 2020 and it is T I R I N G
i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory

one of the best things about this whole nightmare has been watching a whole bunch of folks who have clearly never been seriously political in their lives standing up and going, no, absolutely the fuck not, we’re not letting this happen
ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”
it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

to add on to Steve, in terms of international law the concept that a govt must have effective control of territory to be recognized has never meant 'and could continue to control it no matter who hypothetically attacks them'.
Miller is a shitty historian/international relations scholar. Since WWII, plenty of countries can't defend their territory and don't have their territory poached by a great power.
Shit changed. But, yes, it can change back when the great powers are run by ignorant assholes.

Miller: Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland… Under every understanding of law that has existed about territorial control for 500 years, to control a territory you have to be able to defend a territory…

No, he can't, you absolute fucking dipshits. Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not still rotting in an El Salvador prison. The national guard is not patrolling Portland and Chicago. Judges are obstructing and overturning him at every turn. He has great power, but there are still limits to what he can do.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Your regular reminder that there is no legal path from martial law to suspending elections in this country.
That doesn't mean there is no path. It just means that we need to reject the framing that the federal government has any legal authority to cease elections.

“I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity,” said TJ Sabula, the UAW worker who heckled President Trump and who Trump flipped off and cursed at. “And today I think I did that.”

A cellphone video captured Trump twice mouthing “f--- you” and raising his middle finger toward a line worker shouting at him inside the Ford factory.

If you do see a traumatic video by accident, please make sure to immediately do something to help your brain, like TETRIS. (Yes, seriously.) TETRIS has been shown to help mitigate the mental effects of trauma because it intervenes in traumatic memory formation.

Tetris used to prevent post-traumatic stress symptoms
A single dose psychological intervention, which includes using the computer game Tetris, can prevent the unpleasant, intrusive memories that develop in some people after suffering a traumatic event.
