Man, someone sounds really mad that a bunch of Minneapolis soccer moms can manage op-sec while the Secretary of Defense texts his battle plans to the editor in chief of the Atlantic.

Back on Twitter in 2020 someone theorized that dudes were losing their minds because the big disaster had arrived but all their guns and operator gear were useless against a pandemic, and what was effective was actions coded as feminine (caretaking, sewing, cooking/baking, gardening, mutual aid)

A key strategic error ICE and CBP are making in Minnesota is that they clearly think they just fell out of a coconut tree. They don't know they exist in the context of all in which they live and what came before them.

You're going to find this hard to reckon, but there were adults who spent the last decade arguing the biggest threats to speech in America were nine sophomores at Oberlin.

I think there’s a difference worth pointing out between a person you know changing their mind (welcome) & a pundit feeling the wind shift on their spit-slicked finger as they declare it’s now correct to call something fascist (fuck off into the sun). One of them will never fight alongside you.

In fact the pundit’s job depends on never fighting alongside you. The work of the pundit is only to shift & secure the borders of punditry, maintain allegiance to nothing material, & make rhetoric of people’s lives & deaths.

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

it’s way too common in leftist/progressive circles for people to assume centrist Democrats are incapable of having sincerely-held shitty political beliefs

I'm afraid we're less than 12 hours out from the first Axios article quoting "secret Democrats" saying it's time to put this all behind us

Newsmax fabricated a quote from me about my father Richard Zimmer today. They never contacted me. It's not just outrageous but funny. He was talented in many ways, but most definitely not at golf or cooking or craftsmanship. www.newsmax.com/john-gizzi/z...
