My kids' schools are emailing me now about how they will protect my kids' rights against unlawful aggression by the federal government. Why is this our life now. (I mean, I do know but still)

Biochemist, husband, writer, political junkie, parent. I think a lot and sometimes even write down the results.

Meanwhile, the media runs headlines like this which do nothing but sanitize the administration.
That's cool!

There's nothing clever happening under the hood (no salience/legitimacy mechanics) just a dumb spatial model.
"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

This is the human banner from the air. It's sign made from masses of people standing together to form letters. It reads "No Kings Yes on 50." There is an American flag in the middle and a thick border around the banner. (Prop 50 is a California state proposition to gerrymander the state to create more blue districts, in order to combat the Texas law that gerrymanders their state to create more red districts.)
I joined the "human banner" at San Francisco's Ocean Beach. This flag was at the center. It was a gorgeous day with enormous waves. #nokings
