one of those articles that just perfectly encapsulates the age it's written in

Just in case anyone forgot.

Today's newsletter: there's a new video from 11 days before Alex Pretti was shot to death. Some people refuse to believe it's real. I wrote about why that's going to be a problem moving forward: www.readtpa.com/p/thats-ai-i...

“all we have to do is wait until November and then we can vote out the fascists”

Post 9/11 culture was so crazy man

slavery was never abolished, only reformed, and it's pretty clear we can't make that mistake again

While the left might screech about dismantling the giant robot we’ve built to shred immigrants, I am both proud of the improvements my fellow centrists and I have made to its immigrant-shredding capabilities and secure in the knowledge that nobody will ever flip the big switch that lets it shred me

Behind the scenes: Democrats are gripped by their fears that President Trump may eventually invoke the Insurrection Act — which would allow him to deploy the U.S. military against citizens on U.S. soil — to crack down on protests across the country. Led by Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), a working group of over a dozen Senate Democrats has been meeting for months to prepare for that possibility, a source told Axios. The group, which has included participation from Schumer's office, is preparing a response that would include coordinated messaging, floor action in the Senate and support for legal efforts. Dems "must not be caught flat-footed if [Trump] takes such an extreme step to deploy troops to police our streets," Schiff said in a statement. The bottom line: Democrats have also rejected overtures to cut a deal that secures their desired DHS changes via executive action. To Democrats, given their lack of trust in the White House, that approach is a nonstarter.

Adam Schiff is still acting like the threat is a *future* problem.

Turn on the fucking TV, my guy. Who gives a shit if they're wearing military uniforms or fucking crocs, the threat is here and now

The money is spooked. They saw what was being built in Minnesota communities and realized it was the roots of an insurgency if the feds kept pushing. These actions are the kinds of things that would push us to a civil conflict. It happened before in the 1850s with fugitive slave patrols.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Oh, Now Alamo Drafthouse Wants You to Use Your Phone During a Movie? The chain's new policy will do away with pen and paper ordering—and unionized Alamo workers worry it will make their hours disappear, too.

No talking, no texting, just scanning a QR code in the middle of "Jurassic Park 27" to order your third IPA... while Alamo Drafthouse workers get their hours cut? Customers and Alamo union members have a bone to pick with a new theater policy change:

Don't just sue. Take PRO-ACTIVE ACTION.

What is a centrist?

Most people will tell you 2+2=4.
Donald Trump will tell you 2+2=6.
So the centrist insists that 2+2=5.

Trump gives ICE a free hand to murder with impunity.
Millions of people conclude that ICE must be abolished.

And the centrists?

Watch closely what they do next in Minnesota.

This was an invented moral panic. The NYT and Fox News ran more stories about trans people than the Advocate, an explicitly LGBTQ publication. It was the exact same story in the UK. The media fanned the flames of a moral panic.
