what Americans seem to want is to be able to buy whatever product they want without government interference but also an ironclad guarantee that all store-sold products are safe, and we just need to recognize that these are contradictory ideas and we're gonna have to make people mad about the former

bsky folks are saying this woman made a bad decision and obviously she did but the dairy is selling a self-refutingly irresponsible product -- they label the raw milk "not for human consumption" and sell it in milk bottles at health food stores for people to buy www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2...

The whole time she was doing this she thought you and I were stupid lemmings for drinking pasteurized milk. The superiority component of it totally vanishes when it's time for us to feel bad for them.

They like Trump and want to help him and coverage of anti-Trump protests hurts him so they don't do it

I eventually found a NYT story on these protests but it was hard, def not part of their rolling front page section on the DC takeover. It's an editorial choice to keep protests less visible. It makes Trump appear stronger than he is & kneecaps the momentum opposition needs. Make a different choice.

Also probably makes the "make ICE morale sub-dumpster-level"/"make ICE synonymous with Gestapo in as many American minds as possible" initiatives that much more urgent, because if you're already employed in a police department, probably with a cushy pension, you might not want to risk it for this.

I think the fact that the president can make up a bullshit pretext about crime, activate various states' national guard units and invade a major city with basically minimal pushback of any kind reflects very poorly on Americans generally

Masked men jumped a San Bernardino family in unmarked cars, opened fire, and shattered their truck windows—all while the family was just coming home from work.

The feds later admitted it was CBP, but the family says the agents never showed warrants or IDs.

Democratic Governors, you have to play hardball.

Red states can't function without your economies.

They clearly want to F around.

It's find out time.

since I’m trying to pump the brakes on DC occupation panic I feel like I should simultaneously do a karmic pro-doom offset prediction:

if/when blue state secession gets rolling it will materialize so much faster than any of us are currently willing to imagine.
