The US has a long history of suffering and death as public spectacle and the administration has been tapping into that vein of US tradition since their return.

The deployment of National Guard troops into cities has been so normalized that it barely merits a mention in the press or among the public anymore. D.C. remains occupied, Memphis is occupied, so is New Orleans... It's incredible to me.

the speed at which human beings move from "this terrible thing exists" to "everyone just has to learn to live with it" is truly alarming and illuminating. Immediately moving to compliance. Watching this in real time is incredible.

It’s a bummer to me that “talking about the weather” is coded as boring, superficial, anodyne small talk, weather is pretty cool actually, please tell me about the big black cloud shaped like an anvil you saw to the east on your way here

Perhaps it is not shocking that the states where people in prison can vote are Maine and Vermont. What DO those states have in common, who can say.

we are going to have to find an alternative to meta products for local communities and advertising, right now, it’s almost impossible to do any kind of local business or art project without it, but both their rules and support are so arbitrary and capricious that you can’t rely on them
New: As gay bars across the country say that Meta is flagging and deactivating their accounts without warning, I spoke to an Austin queer bar that says Meta nearly destroyed their ability to advertise events: www.chron.com/culture/arti...
How Meta's new content moderation upended a Texas gay bar
At least one LGBTQ establishment in Texas says the social media giant has incorrectly disabled its social media account, potentially hurting business.

This is incredibly hard to hear—grateful for those who bear witness.
Nashville Banner reporter Steven Hale, describing how prison officials kept drawing the curtain to hide how badly they were botching this:
“A lot of this execution — or attempted execution, whatever it was — happened when we could not see what was going on.”

whenever we get close to seeing a systemic problem with policing, media rushes to frame it as a training problem. however, police culture is at the core of its mistreatment of victims and rape cases.
policing is a tool of white supremacy AND *male* supremacy

yet the lack of training wasn't the issue here, so why are we bringing it up.

I've been covering the death penalty in depth for a dozen years now, and few nights have been as disturbing and dispiriting as tonight. This was a moral, ethical, and legal failure on several different fronts from many different actors. It wasn't *just* SCOTUS, though they sure were a key part.
After SCOTUS allowed Tennessee execution to go ahead, Tennessee botched the execution
SCOTUS, over the liberals’ dissent, cleared the way for Tennessee to kill Christa Pike. The alarming order from DC was followed by even more disturbing developments in Tennessee.

It's amazing how some people dehumanize others simply for choosing a transportation method that doesn't involve a car.
They also hate traffic and other drivers, while simultaneously seething with rage at anyone walking, cycling, or proposing we fund better public transit.

As an institution, marriage has some of the best PR in history.
And, we (those of us in it, and those of us looking in from the outside) buy into the myths we're told about it.
But, if we understood that patriarchy is still running things, we'd realize that marriage is a conservative institution.
