MAGA has support for the same reason racist movements have garnered support since Reconstruction: Rich White people convince poor White people that poor Black people have taken all their money.
This con game has worked for over 150 years because scapegoating problems is easier than solving them.

250 years ago, Americans rebeled against a king and stood up to his army. Today we’re called upon to repeat history. Be among those who can look back and say, “ I did my part.”

Today I downloaded the new tranche of Epstein data to analyze offline. Not all of the data sets have a premade ZIP, so I wrote a little Linux shell script to automate some of the tedium.
I've only looked at a few files, but I've already learned these people were even more loathsome than I knew.

I attended a local screening of this indie film, followed by a discussion with the filmmaker and several members of the cast. The depth of personal connection among the cast brings a raw authenticity sometimes missing from big-budget productions. (Streaming on TubiTV) www.imdb.com/title/tt3711...

Last night I began perusing the new tranche of Epstein files. I'm in the early stages of archiving them on my NAS and using custom automation to analyze the content. I may find nothing new, but I'm using my technical skills to make the attempt.

This is where VP candidate Vance knowingly spread lies about Haitians eating people's pets. The Haitians are welcomed by their neighbors and elected officials. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (GOP) briefed local officials about the ICE action in Springfield but (afaik) hasn't voiced any support for it.
Haitians in Springfield, Ohio lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. There will very likely be a major ICE incursion the next day. Haitians in Springfield were the targets of Vance’s lying during the campaign.

'The folks are fearful.' Haitians living in Ohio may soon lose temporary protected status • Ohio Capital Journal
Thousands of Haitians living in Ohio will lose their temporary protected status next week unless a federal court blocks it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's been my impression that MAGA voters think he cares about them. P.T. Barnum was so right about a sucker born every minute.

When GW Bush was running for his second term, I was on a protest line that put me face-to-face with a Secret Service agent for over an hour. He was polite, professional, and made no move to stop our peaceful protest. We had a nice chat, in fact.
Contrast that with the behavior of ICE. They're orcs.

Alex Pretti was beaten and murdered by ICE thugs because he, an intensive care nurse, followed his professional instinct to render aid to another person.
I was a volunteer EMT (though now just first aid), and I can only hope I would have shown the same courage and compassion.
Rest in peace, Alex.

I'm watching the MN situation live, and the lack of training of the ICE officers is obvious. They don't even have enough discipline to maintain formation. If they think the crowd is dangerous, it is foolish to run off alone to chase people. The abbreviated training endangers people on both sides.

@kdenlive.bsky.social I am reaching out to say thanks for an amazing tool. I've used multiple commercial and open source NLEs for 20+ years. Last week I tried #KDEnlive for the first time, and IMO it is the best of _any_ NLE I have used, period. The docs are excellent! [1 of 3]

Libraries have so much more than books! Yesterday I spent three hours in our library's Maker Space digitizing a VHS video from 1989, for a community theatre production of which I was in the tech crew. I may have preserved the only surviving copy.

I wish I could persuade my family who think T***p is "doing the right thing but maybe being a little heavy handed about it" to actually watch the videos of what is happening in the streets. My heart is breaking to know people I love are intentionally blind to injustice and the suffering of others.

Joined an anti-ICE protest in my town Tuesday night. No pictures this time because it was so cold I really didn't want to take off my gloves. A few people flipped us the bird, but a lot more people honked and waved support.
Best moment: Car pulls up with donated pizzas for us -- still piping hot!

I don't care whether this is properly conciliatory and properly reaching out to the lost souls or not. To hell with them if they haven't figured out the facts of life by now. Read my lips:

The US state where I reside has a law that any fatal shooting by police -- no matter how obviously justified -- WILL have an official inquiry by the state bureau of investigation. Full stop.
ICE murders a mom in front of multiple witnesses and on camera, and there is no such purely routine inquiry.
