the second amendment is about the right of conservatives to intimidate everyone else through implicit threats of violence
Supreme Court seems likely to rule that Hawaii's "vampire rule" that restricts people bringing guns onto private property without permission infringes on the Second Amendment:

Supreme Court skeptical of Hawaii's 'vampire rule' for gun owners
Justices are weighing the state's requirement that people with firearms seek consent from owners before entering private property — much like Dracula.

“Illegal alien” will in retrospect be understood as the dehumanizing language that preceded ethnic cleaning. A disgusting thing to call someone but completely normal among our political elite.
Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped from Minneapolis. He was my neighbor and he died in an American concentration camp. He was not "illegal," he was a human being made in the image of the divine. May his memory be a blessing, and may the rest of us fight like hell until we stop this brutality.
This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

We are, quite literally, no longer a free society. What they get away with in Minneapolis is an existential threat to us all and the Republic herself.

I know all of us are saturated with news all day every day but I feel like not enough ink was spilled about how ICE refused to let any medics near Renee Good as she bled out and that they refused because they were happy that she was bleeding out.

Really don't want to ever hear about "law & order" again from the right when they're this obsessed with creating maximum lawless disorder, presumably for content
Maybe 20 armed DHS goons descended on the Uptown McDonald’s to abduct one poor woman, causing absolute chaos as the entire neighborhood rushed in to shout and throw snowballs. Why are we doing this, it’s insane

More training isn't going to fix the ethnic cleansing squad! The problem is that we employ an ethnic cleansing squad that attracts the type of people who would want to be part of an ethnic cleansing squad!

I know it's ancient history now, but it's worth remembering that Greenland was not mentioned once -- Once! -- during the campaign. It came up immediately after the election and the media started treating it like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

It's incredibly demoralizing to constantly see the highest institutions of government and academia and the most important and widely seen news outlets knuckle under one after another, but then to see the gulf between that and the bravery of communities and neighbors and teachers - that's something

That a woman is one of the most intensely hated kind of people in the world is so normal it's invisible. Hated by men and even sometimes by women. Some men want to kill you just for existing in a way they find upsetting. You'd think if that's your reality you'd get used to it but you never do.

Few things embody the imbalance in US politics and media better than the juxtaposition of the killing of a famous right-wing bigot prompting prominent 'liberal' politicians and outlets to preemptively eulogize, and the killing of a regular decent person prompting conservatives to gloat.
