It doesn’t matter how loudly they yell if the press doesn’t cover them. They’re yelling. You just aren’t where you can see it.

I see a lot of Democrats openly talking about how mad they are. There’s a pretty extensive discussion about not voting for funding for ICE in Congress, and an active effort to get enough votes to impeach Kristi Noem.

There are also a bunch of Democrats calling for nonviolent resistance because they recognize that making the Insurrection Act invocation look ridiculous when it comes will be strategically useful.

A few are also just out of it — they’re depending on the New York Times to tell them what’s going on, and that doesn’t work.

Yeah, they’re uniquely empowered to sue on behalf of the constituents they represent, so they can do a lot more than most other elected officials.

The problem is that the US is still place where people who advocate violence for leftist reasons can be tossed in prison. So, no, it’s not a good idea to allow people to post explicit, realistic, actionable calls for violence in public places.

Talk about it in your 4-person Signal chat with people you trust.

A plurality of Americans think that the murder rate is rising.

There’s a difference between being right-wing and using actual Nazi content on a routine basis. They crossed that line.

The same phenomenon persists when you look at things like murder, which tends not to have that problem

Yes, though the drop happened before that

Its an unsigned temporary order from the Eighth Circuit appeals court

Yeah, ICE is doing things like kidnapping 5 year olds walking home from kindergarten without telling their parents to try and incite riots so they can justify bringing in paratroopers to conduct a massacre

I suspect a third or more of the US military will refuse to carry out massacres of light-skinned citizens.

I don’t expect the same of ICE

The US military is a fair bit less Nazi than ICE, which has increased greatly in size over the last few months while using Nazi materials as part of their recruitment pitch

Yes, the plant’s owner is leaving it shut down. They’re not completely ignoring the order though; they’re challenging it in court

Yeah, they’re doing some serious sanewashing of today’s speech — no mention of confusing Iceland for Greenland several times, and treating the speech as a promise to not invade Greenland

Reforestation is great for the reasons you describe, but the alternative is not some future carbon capture technology; its a faster fossil fuels phase out.

It happened because of mass protests which emboldened legislators to make it happen, and the press was willing to cover them that way.

It does have other value, but they’re often not climate-impacting value. So you don’t want to claim a temporary offset is equivalent to a permanent burning of a fossil fuel.

Congressmembers have managed to inspect some. They don’t provide medical care:

“The most frequent feedback we got was the inadequacy of the medical care they are receiving,” said Schiff. He described meeting a diabetic detainee who he said has not received treatment for her condition in two months. “That’s frightening,” he said.

A fair number of people do seem to be deported to other countries rather than die in the camps.. Officially, the number who died in ICE custody is 32 during 2025, but it’s entirely possible that this number is an undercount. I will also note that ICE tends to deport people who are experiencing medical emergencies so that they die outside the US

ICE agents are literally going around saying it:

When they told the agents they were U.S. citizens, the couple said, one responded, “It doesn’t matter.” Another offered, “What you’re doing is illegal. This is like Germany 1938,” the court papers said.

That requires an extra contract with Palantir, so it hasn’t happened yet that I am aware of. They’re mainly beating US citizens to get them to point out which houses nonwhite neighbors live in.
