When you want elected officials to hear your concerns, you are a domestic terrorist.

When they want to intimidate elected leaders from carrying out lawful processes, they are simply "Anti-Kavanaugh protestsers take over the Senate Office Bldg. atrium on Capital Hill." https://t.co/gqDMAxahaS

Trump put out a video telling the protesters to go home. Gets a comms cut, Twitter and Facebook timeout.

Did any prominent democrat tell the BLM rioters to stop burning shit down, or did they pour gas on it.

There was a coup alright, it's just not the one being reported.
Yes, and the GOP continues to play their role as outer party controlled opposition. Washington Generals doing what the Washington Generals do.

At this point we see clearly Trump never held power. There's a giant power vacuum in the US right now, he failed to fill it.

That vacuum isn't going away. Those 75M MAGA voters aren't going to disappear.

The crackdown to come will only inflame tensions. This is just beginning.
Months of burning cities, billions in property damage and looting. Politicians, celebs ran fundraisers to help them post bail. They executed a MAGA in Portland. Cops, politicians, military literally bent the knee to them.
But you? "Experts, lawmakers call mob... domestic terrorists."

These people do not have the high ground, they just have the megaphone, and they NEVER punch left.

Our elected reps ALWAYS punch right, rarely punch left.

REALLY MAEKS THINK! 🤔
The fact that Trump ever got elected (and RE-ELECTED, if not for fraud) was a shot across the bow of the Regime. That he could have happened shows their weakness. That they pull out all the stops, nuclear options to stop us shows their weakness. They will clamp down shortterm.
They can't keep this shitfest together indefinitely. When Stacey Abrams' sh'boon squad is in charge, do you think they'll have the requisite competence to be able to project power into the hinterlands? They already can no longer project military power into the Western Pacific.
Regarding a clampdown, they were ALWAYS going to punish us uppity Amerikaners for electing Trump. You think they needed yesterday as justification to do what they already have been doing?

Trump was always a moonshot. He always believed in the system, right to the end.

My advice? Squad up and make frends, get out of reach from their petty tyranny, disobedience whenever and wherever possible, buy BTC, live locally.

Create pockets of competence outside the system.
Remember that in times of great churn, there is also TREMENDOUS opportunity for the bold.

The fun times are just getting started.

This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".


The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.


Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)


There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.


At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?
