Wait. One of the main forces behind "The Harper's Letter," which to this day is held up as being a crowning achievement in support of free speech (which it never was) believes that the masses don't deserve free speech? How... unsurprising.

If you absolutely contorted yourself to the most extremely charitable interpretation of this — which is “democracy can’t survive if everyone riots” — it demonstrates a gullible or bad-faith acceptance of the administration’s narrative about protests that have been overwhelmingly peaceful. But- /1

/2 Neither Reginald Huffington Yalejaw nor the increasingly disappointing Jake Tapper is entitled to that kind of deferential interpretation. In context, this is a docile or malign endorsement of the administration’s broad totalitarian anti-protest stance.

I learned during an NPR interview that Tom Homan went on Laura Loomer’s show this weekend. I did a poor job of maintaining professional demeanor about it.

The overt totalitarians in the administration are laying the pseudo-intellectual groundwork for large-scale use of military force against civilians.

As a United States Senator advocates using military violence to suppress protestors, we face a crucial First Amendment question: will anyone try to use cancel culture against the editor who ran the call for violence? Greg Lukianoff, tomorrow in the NYT www.wsj.com/opinion/send...

Hearing a large number of sirens downtown LA.

ICE pretended to arrest a 21 yo in order to force her to call her undocumented mother to come leave the house (where she was safe from ICE arrest) to care for her baby. When the mother came, she was abducted and the daughter was suddenly of no interest to ICE. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Well this is awkward

Just want to express once again my contempt for all the mainstream and libertarian platforms that promoted this loathsome discount Goebbels. Shame on you.

Um Questions 1. Does the USMC recruit JAGs by unsolicited emails? 2. If so do they not do any screening for age? [“physically qualified, under age 36”] 3. Is the USMC email nomenclature really “[lastname][rank][firstname]?” Asking for someone who just got an email from 1stLt Gay.

I am really getting tired of the trend of “I was surprised when the leopards ate my face” confessional piece. It’s like an endless parade of self-pitying essays from dumb teens about “why it was a good idea for me to go into that dark basement in this slasher movie.”
