This week a white nationalist tried to assassinate a member of Congress and you probably didn’t even hear about it—and a reminder that being an elementary school student in the US is more deadly than being an ICE officer: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/three-shoo...

RFK is personally responsible for a measles outbreak killing American kids. Stephen Miller has killed more undocumented people than we will know until his tribunal. Pete Hegseth is nerfing anyone in a skiff within 95 miles of Cuba. They get away with it because they are committed to the performance.

Anyway, good case study here. You can be as evil as you want, you can kill as many people as is possible, you can shove churro ladies into vans then off to black sites in countries they've never even heard of, but if you can't do the performance of fascism — that's when you're in real trouble.

Nelson discussed her efforts to appeal to Republican voters, her concerns about federal healthcare cuts and rising costs, and why she believes listening to constituents rather than following national party politics could help her flip the Republican-held seat.

Plenty to reflect about re: the Arday affair, but I'm going to repeat this one thing. The playbook the right used here is effective even though it's not especially sophisticated, as it relies on the audience to do the dirty work. I've been calling it "Trojan horse propaganda", let's go with that. 1/

Our country is tolerating Donald Trump presiding over severe national decline because the majority of white voters (who vote Republican) thought living under a Black president was worse than this. Not a popular or media-savvy assessment... it's also not wrong either.
This is a brief but utterly harrowing description of our nation in decline and the role of Trump's disastrous presidency in making it all happen, from @pkrugman.bsky.social on the pod. Transcript: newrepublic.com/article/2121...

Mainstream media is 24/7 saturation of poor people committing petty crimes. Shoplifting out of control! Venezuelan thugs are stealing your apartment! Meanwhile billionaires are genocidal serial killers and treated like the pillars of our society
Listened to an NPR story this morning about mass child starvation in Senegal without a single mention of Elon Musk, the guy who gleefully created the conditions for the mass starvation

Not an isolated incident @thetnholler.bsky.social stole a video I took of ICE officers mooning a Minnesota crowd several months ago. Never responded to DMs, never responded to comments asking them to credit. I self-funded that trip and shot that video in -10 degree weather Fuck those guys
I hate that so many are immediately jumping to the false flag nonsense.
It really is substantially more likely that some guy wanted to shoot some people (or one man in particular) than that the government staged a false flag attack. Running towards conspiracy thinking is naive and you should be embarrassed. Is it possible? Sure. Is it likely? No.

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing. These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted. Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

Authoritarians cannot understand regular people because they themselves are cowards Fear motivates them, so they assume it motivates everyone. They can't imagine risking their lives for a stranger, for free It's why they've beat a public retreat in Minneapolis, and it's how we'll ultimately win

Please buy a couple items off this list if you can! It will help street medics in some of the most terrorized parts of the Twin Cities
Do you want to help Minneapolis out in a different way? Help set up some new street medics so that they can make sure community members are cared for at protests. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

now - especially now - a reminder that we are going to win. and this is why
I attempted to go to an ICE patrol training here in LA this morning and they had to turn most of us away because of capacity issues and even as I was leaving I saw a ton more folks showing up so that’s how well their attempts to scare everyone away are going, even in the face of murder
