Since EOs don’t carry the force of law (they are just Trump saying what he wants to happen), why would someone who actually intended to do this announce it in advance?

This is good to hear. My mental image of Floridians is when your dog doesn’t want to give the ball back and only wants to catch the ball.

I feel the same, but IIRC Trump himself babbled something akin to this within the last week or so. They clearly want to do something. Even if they can’t actually make it so.

And we’ll do it again.

On the other hand, if this is what they say they’re gonna do, what are they actually gonna do? It seems odd that they’d start broadcasting this if they really had nothing up their sleeves.
Note that I think their actual plan will be spectacularly stupid.

For the first ~ 2 decades of the 21st century, mass protests were systematically defanged by city governments and law enforcement, and they attracted no media attention. So were largely pointless.
That is now not the case. And leftists should stop leaving tools in the toolbox.

Agreed, the idea that setting some garbage alight is equivalent to shooting human beings at point blank range is ghastly.
I’m not a huge violent direct action fan, but come on now

Part of the problem is that a certain subset of activists don’t think public protest is a legitimate mode of dissent. Which is silly and incorrect, but also you can sort of see how they got there.

As far as I can see, what’s happening is that we are entering an entirely new era of protest, one that makes “smashed a Starbucks window” look quaint. The new era needs new tactics, and thus new OpSec.

I was on a jury where body cam footage was part of the evidence. On the one hand, it clearly didn’t prevent anything. However, it did provide visuals of what actually happened. Without it, it would be the cops saying “this Black man is bad” and the white suburbanites jury members nodding along.

I make well over the median income for my county and we are talking about doing beans and rice at least one night per week.

Especially cilantro, which at least in my area they practically pay you to take away from the grocery store. (SoCal)

I mean to be fair it’s really just a list of basic facts like “what is the capital of this country”, “what form of government does it officially have”, etc.
I’ve always assumed (bc of course I’ve thought about it) the CIA compiles it so they know where to fly people into.

IDK, it took me until I was like 25 to figure that out, and I was born in 1981.

Whoa, cool that you posted that lil picture for yourself to remind you where you stand compared to people who do things rather than being wreckers.

I know they’ll oppress LGBTQ people.
But I also know they won’t get a chance if we stop snatching defeat from the jaws of victory and just fight. Why are we doing this right now? Today? Google cointelpro if you’re going to cosplay as a leftist.

If anything, what is exciting about right now is that we’re all out here fucking doing the thing.
To just stop for no reason and do a little infighting when the work absolutely is not done is counterrevolutionary.

It’s not unfair treatment for some irrelevant fuck to have a book ghostwritten on his behalf.
If you want someone who isn’t Newsom, go talk about that person and what excites you about them.
Otherwise this is how we get Newsom as the nominee.

There’s a reason we didn’t invent drinking straight glasses of milk and eating ice cream on a mass level until pasteurization. And that most dairy products before that were cultured in some way.

This is the same reason the pundit class decided Defund The Police was gauche or cringe or whatever, based on vibes. It was the first new thing the public organically demanded, in decades.

WTF does this even mean? This person has no power over you. (Unless you live in CA, in which case you have bigger things to worry about than whether Gavin Newsom runs for president.)
Go outside. I beg you.

He’s going to run, yeah.
At this stage in the race (such as it is 2 years out), “is running for president” does not equal “will be president”.
