This needs to be at the top of every story about the ICE body-cam thing. They already have body cameras.

the promotion of this Nazi dumb-dumb as some sort of dissident intellectual by a swathe of centre to right figures in the last two years has been deeply fucking embarassing

An internal document shows the Vietnamese military preparing for a possible American war An internal document reveals Vietnam's military is preparing for a possible American war of aggression, viewing the U.S. as a "belligerent" power.

Absolutely fascinating read:

We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing "the" labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college-educated. Instead, use wording such as people with mental illnesses. And use these descriptions only when clearly relevant.

The use of "the French" in this tweet by @AP was inappropriate and has caused unintended offense. An updated tweet is upcoming.

The People Struggle Against Tyranny Another execution of an American citizen. A regime that has no strategy but to lash out. The struggle against Trumpist authoritarianism is only going to get bloodier.

I wrote about Minnesotans putting their lives on the line to fight for their city, protect their neighbors, and defend the Republic against tyranny.

Some thoughts from my new piece - angry and alarmed, but also hopeful and inspired:

This is one of the biggest stories in America, comparable in scale to what’s happening in Minnesota. The largest social media platform is transferred to Trump’s allies and immediately forbids you from saying anything bad about him. Absolutely totalitarian in nature. No different than China.

one of the strangest and most frustrating things about being alive today is that we have science and research on basically every issue, but it always gets pushed aside in favor of some guy who thought about it for one minute and thinks he knows the answer

I'll say yet again: Trump & his party do something virtually every day that constitutes a more violent & alarming suppression of speech than anything that happened during the entire alleged tyranny of woke. Every day. Yet the entire Free Spech army has just vanished into mist.
