I do my best work when I’m meant to be doing something else.
I bet you that there will coincidentally be an urgent need to apprehend “violent illegal immigrant thugs” that line up precisely with key districts
My bet is that we see a LOT of activity from ICE at voting stations at the midterms. I’m hearing brown families have been hiding in Minneapolis regardless of immigration status. If you can’t harass people out from voting you can instigate violence at select polls so folks can’t vote in a timely way.

I cannot fully explain what it's been like having to watch all of Trump's press conferences for work, in full, for the last year, but I just shouted, actually shouted:

"WHEN WILL YOU TAAAAAKE HIM, DEATH? OR JUST TAKE MEEEE! I DON'T EVEN CARE WHICH ANYMOOOORE."

Guan Heng went to Xinjiang to photograph the detention camps where the Chinese Communist Party imprisons Uyghurs. He fled China via Hong Kong, Ecuador, and the Bahamas, reaching Florida on an inflatable boat. The US was considering his asylum case when ICE arrested him. DHS has not released him.

On almost everything – fraud, polarisation, radicalisation, misinformation – evidence suggests that over 60s are in much more urgent need of online protection and education than teenagers.

But that issue gets zero political attention, and is a total non-starter. Nothing good will come of it.
This was a minor story on London news this morning - but suspect is a real cautionary (and alarming) tale of an older man getting radicalised online.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Please read the piece with comments from tech & national security experts.

We have no national security while we rely on highly political US Silicon Valley firms that are enmeshed in Trump’s increasing fascistic administration.

Yes, with the crucial addendum that most of these guys still seem fucking miserable.

You can now leverage being an unredeemable asshole into a total absence of consequences, vast fame, wealth and influence, even political power. You can set mobs on your enemies.

Yet they all still seem so sad.
we are living in the golden age for assholes, there has never been a better time to be an unredeemable asshole than the one we are currently living in

Trump on drug prices: "This is like hundreds of percent, depending on how you want to calculate it. You could say it's an 80% reduction or you could say it's a 1,000% reduction. You could say whatever you want."

Devastating analysis. I had thought that the agent who removed Pretti’s gun negligently discharged it, the shot leading others to start shooting Pretti. Not even: they shot *after* disarming him. No shots were fired from Pretti’s gun. A cold-blooded execution.

A frame-by-frame assessment of actions by Alex Pretti and the two officers who fired 10 times shows how lethal force came to be used against a target who didn’t pose a threat.

And half the politicians pontificating about it do so on a far-right paedophile website, without the slightest self-awareness about how ridiculous they look.

After two hundred years, small-c conservatives have forgotten their Burke, and so are going to have to learn the lessons all over again.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.

If it is fascism now it was fascism then but if you were wrong no need to pause to make a special effort to admit your error -- we don't have that much time now, please act right away, get organized, and then tell your followers what you are doing to stop fascism and what they too can do.

Horrifying.

I don't have the words.

I'm not sure any more are needed.
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
