This is sort of a throughline in cases of excessive force used by law enforcement. The civilian is supposed to perfectly adhere to some unwritten code of conduct; the armed professional supposedly trained for such situations is only human & must be given lattitude if they succumb to fear and rage.
The administration is insisting that its masked goons are so emotionally stunted that words can launch them into a murderous rage.
"Our professionals are just ordinary people so ordinary people better act professionally around them, or else."

It really is amazing think than about this contradiction between “we are inundated in media right now and our culture also scorns the idea of learning more in school about how to make media and how media works.”
There is something very, very odd about a society that is simultaneously more thoroughly and constantly saturated in media than any human group has been during the entire history of our species... but also finds it puzzling why studying art & literature might be worthwhile.
I agree that it’s high fucking time that we stopped acting like we need to grovel and constantly justify the existence of some of our most incredibly elemental and ancient human pursuits.

I doubt when Jim Pattison built this warehouse he intended for it to hold human beings, including young children, but that's what ICE will do if he sells it to them. He doesn't need the money, and he cares about his legacy. Tell him not to sell to ICE!

And we can and should ask Parliament to step in to end any contracts to send armoured vehicles to ICE: www.ctvnews.ca/business/art...
If not, Canadian military hardware will be used to wage political violence in America. We can't pretend we don't know that exactly that would happen.

UK PM Keir Starmer reacts to Cadet Bone Spurs claiming that allied troops stayed back behind the front lines in Afghanistan to avoid combat: “457 of our armed services lost their lives, many more were injured. So I consider Trump’s remarks to be insulting and apalling.”

It would happen no matter what. The US President is basically a Roomba. When he runs into opposition he turns and starts devouring in another direction. Sooner or later he always circles back, though.
