It's embarrassing enough that Rauch is a decade late on this...

"Recent events have brought Trump’s governing style into sharper focus," Jonathan Rauch argues. "'Fascist' best describes it, and reluctance to use the term has now become perverse." theatln.tc/wVq7MFaa

Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

He got the wrong avenue, but he was entirely correct about this.

For the sake of clarity, two separate agents shoot the victim:
- one is kneeling to the left of the victim holding him down, draws and fires
- after everyone has spooked, a second agent standing to the left of the victim and wearing teal also draws and shoots multiple times.

I've seen the video. It's an execution.
Initial report is that two observers got into a shoving match with eight agents, one observer was wrestled to the ground, and then an ICE agent pulled out a sidearm and shot the man on the ground five times.

If ICE is doing such an important service, why doesn't Trump reward his voters by directing most ICE agents into red states?

The real magic of this photo is just how deliciously *annoying* everything about Stancil looks.
Him filming with his phone. The "and what?" expression. The casual slouch that says "I can and will do this all day, buddy".

Taxpayer funded treatment for what doctors are only beginning to label "Stancil PTSD" is going to be a huge chunk of the federal budget when the goon squads retire.

I mean this with full sincerity: if I'm forced to live in an military-expansionist fascist police state, China appears to be a far better option than the US.
At least China understands the importance of green energy and rapid transit.
An America stripped of liberalism is worthless to me.

Check this one fact out:
"In 2024, the total installed electricity capacity of the planet—every coal, gas, hydro, and nuclear plant and all of the renewables—was about 10 terawatts. The Chinese solar supply chain can now pump out 1 terawatt of panels every year."

I think a good strategy for your non-leftist social media presence (ie everywhere but here) is to give this photo - the remains of Danish soldiers returning in coffins after being killed in America's war in Afghanistan - as wide an audience as possible. Remind people who we're betraying

The only mechanism Democrats will have for regaining the US's diplomatic standing with Europe is take take extreme measures against the Republican party. They will never trust us again unless they think the Republican party in its current form is dead.

I fully expect to be met with a look of disgust every time I'm traveling and say I'm from the US, for at least the next 20 years.
We are fucking around with the fundamental trust in the decency of Americans and it is farcical.
No one seems to understand that trust can be lost, and that lost trust takes active effort and significant cost to regain (or maintain in the face of betrayal).
