These stupid fuckers keep on getting their asses handed to them in court. I’m not giving them any preemptive credit for worst case scenarios.

I’m sure the idea gets Miller hard but this would be quite hard to do in practice - tracking down & seizing the goods of 10s/100s of thousands of individuals would require enormous effort and competence & successfully challenging existing property law, qualities this regime don’t have a surplus of.

And the US birth rate needs immigrants! No amount of tradwife influencer propaganda and abortion bans are going to actually going to raise the birth rate enough. All this is just more economics by people who refuse to acknowledge reality. Tariffs don’t work. Immigrants don’t cause high prices.

Biggest parallel I see is blaming Jews/immigrants for all problems and saying eliminating them will solve those problems, in this case the affordability crisis. Not how aryanizing worked, but underlying desire to scapegoat is same.

And if they start seizing taco trucks there’ll be real riots!

They are evil but they are also incompetent and lazy shitposters whose approach is all stick, no carrot. No one is getting an abandoned 2010 Honda Civic from an ICE auction or a cheap apartment from an ethnically-cleansed neighborhood.

Not to “well actually” but there’s no effort to redistribute property here. ICE kidnaps people, their cars, apartments, goods, bank accounts, etc are abandoned, & their families, friends, or landlords have to deal with the mess. There’s no follow through from the government to seize immigrant goods.

Sometimes you can complain about a thing or make the thing happen. At least now my walk to the post office is slight easier.

I connected the 4 corners of my block with the road so people don’t have to climb over icecrete to get from sidewalk to road

They say in Minnesota there are no neutrals there
You either stand with hockey moms or work for Steve Millèr.
Which side are you on, boys?

At my last job I had a coworker who moved to DC from upstate NY and was mocking DMV drivers for not being able to drive in snow. Later that winter they spun out and wrecked their car in an inch of heavy snow sitting on ice.

Listening to: it was read to us in the heavily-falling snow in the early morning light. Big America feels.

conservatives are proof that a poor understanding of history leads to poor outcomes because generations of Americans have refused to believe that slavery was, in fact,
bad, and early 20th c laws on food safety, labor, and the environment were good.

As someone who professionally gritting my teeth as people say misguided things at me about the US rev war I agree, but finding a catchy, short slogan for a mass movement is hard. I’m not losing any sleep over No Kings when the Trump admin is trying to make telling the truth about US hist illegal.

Alas, “The Loyalists had a lot of good
points, but Trump is still bad” just isn’t as catchy.

I work in ww2 currently and get to try to keep a straight face while listening to leftists compare American plantations to Nazi extermination camps (Mt Vernon was not, in fact, Sobibor). The degree to which people are bad at drawing historical comparisons has yet to cease to amaze me.

“No Kings” is a succinct, catchy slogan referencing a shared pop history/myth of a founding as an elected democracy that values the rule of law vs personal dictatorship, in a country that has very few shared reference points left, especially w/ US history. If it bafffles you, you’re overthinking it.

In addition to how our schools mostly teach the American side of the war’s politics because of our obsession w the Declaration &Constitution, all our surviving stuff is American things in the form of battlefields and historic buildings & enthusiasts tend to focus on that, not the UK political system

I’ve spent almost a decade as an interpreter at various rev war historic sites and the degree to which even educated Americans understand the British political background of the war is minimal; very few
can articulate the difference between parliament and the king or know who Lord North is.

I don’t want another generation of concentration camp guards & Ordnungspolizei to slink back to their families & pretend they didn’t do anything or were just following orders. They know what they’re doing. Trials first to be publicly tarred with breaking laws. THEN we can talk reconciliation.

That’s all nice but I still want ppl who knowingly & enthusiastically broke the law to be charged, tried, &, if found guilty, listed as having committing crimes. Maybe that leads to reconciliation not prison but I want criminals who broke the law trying to destroy the US to be labeled as such.

Rich white NIMBYs in Annapolis quoting John Lewis to fight a bill that will rezone 840 lots currently zoned single family home only to allow for construction of duplexes (aka build more missing middle housing) is *chef’s kiss*.

A judge walks out of his courtroom, laughing. A colleague asks, "What’re you laughing about?"
”I just heard a great joke about Charlie Kirk,” the judge says, wiping tears of laughter from his eyes.
"A joke about Charlie Kirk? Tell me!"
"Are you crazy? I just shipped a man to CECOT for that joke!"

No, this is just a case of a staff member who didn’t know what was going on. If they had worries they should have reached out internally. This person’s irresponsibility in going to the press has now put media and WH attention on a long-planned project and people are fucking pissed.

The museum spokesperson’s telling the truth: the exhibit refresh was planned for years & not b/c of Trump. The staff member who forwarded that email didn’t talk to anyone actually on the exhibits team. People are freaking out for no reason instead of focusing on actual attacks on museum integrity.

Meanwhile people in the county are convinced that they could get shot if they go to Main Street.

White people who live in Annapolis will complain about how bad crime is when all they have to deal with is opportunists swiping stuff if you forget to lock your car door overnight, which is quite unpleasant but I consider to be an acceptable trade-off to living in a gorgeous walkable town.

So many bangers in the shapenote tradition!
