A thing that I hope all law enforcement and courts are taking seriously about these moments is that their legitimacy comes from our belief in their legitimacy - they have to earn it.
The uniform alone does not entitle them to obedience.
We’re all relearning the concept of a social contract.

Yesterday, these incompetent fucks were just going door-to-door in a neighborhood near my house at 8:30 in the morning. School buses were driving through trying to pick up kids, people were out walking their dogs, and people were taking out their trash cans.

Any elected Democrat not fully committed to resistance at this point is a MAGA collaborator. So yes, they gotta go. History is screaming at us from the grave.
We have to get rid of Schumer and Jeffries.
This is about saving our country now.

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

This is a terrific archive, now digitized and searchable. Lots of great material on Mississippi segregationists.
This description of the US Army rolling into Ole Miss in 1962 after a white riot left two dead is my favorite. The MSSC investigator writing this is *so* close to getting it.

I find it necessary these days to affirm the obvious because the descent into fascism is mostly a continuous, not discrete, process so here it goes:
these are internal checkpoints by secret police for what is routine freedom of movement.

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

Got my first bag of potato chips in months. Cracked it open. The first chip out of the bag was... soggy?
The second chip was almost fungal.
Baffled, I explored the bag and discovered AN ENTIRE POTATO. Unsliced, brined, like a wad of seasoning juice. It had survived, and now was juicing the chips.
