Last Notes npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat American law enforcementâs message is âtreat us like weâre in the first picture or weâll put you in the second pictureâ https://lionsmane.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:s6j27rxb3ic2rxw73ixgqv2p&cid=bafkreibz2f3wpcls4ovtl6aha54cagesywfspmaoyu5yjixyakjhan6os4 https://lionsmane.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:s6j27rxb3ic2rxw73ixgqv2p&cid=bafkreigafymwg5qvsje4b3ra3ylbed4pod3zfytkzi7fzgejxrogtfyhre npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat /4 Second: you can file a lawsuit when state or federal law enforcement detains you illegally. However: Congress and the Supreme Court have put many convoluted roadblocks, from qualified immunity to the maze of the Federal Tort Claims Act, between you and justice. But itâs possible and plausible npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat /3 That is likely to be a tiny element of this because (1) most Kavanaugh Stops are for harassment or immigration detention purposes and donât result in criminal charges and (2) the Fourth Amendment has been dramatically weakened by SCOTUS and such motions are very hard to win. npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat /2 First: people who are Kavanaugh Stopped (that is, detained by law enforcement based on skin color) may, if they are charged with a crime, be able to ask the court to suppress evidence seized as a result of their detention â evidence found on them, for example â for a Fourth Amendment violation. npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat Oh no /1 https://lionsmane.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:s6j27rxb3ic2rxw73ixgqv2p&cid=bafkreicrzzkkec7it32ms2vxbds6zret55lk2gjhvrrwyeff43phdachsm npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat /3 That process will make it easier for this to happen again. So: what to do? Someone who promoted and both-sidesed Nazis in 1946 would face economic and social annihilation outside of extremists circles. How can we inflict that annihilation on the vapid media of now? npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat /2 This will be grotesque. Edward R. Murrow didnât have a radio show in 1946 where Eisenhower debated Göring about whether the Nazis had some good points. Todayâs media would absolutely do that. Todayâs media will platform people defending and rewriting Goodâs murder for years. npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat When Trumpâs dead, and if we emerge from whatever white nationalist regime follows him and return to some normality, the media and commentariat are going to do everything in their power to normalize what happened and make it into simple policy differences suitable for âmy two guests are.â /1 npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat Someone just DMâd me to tell me that using profanity in my handle âcheapens my argument.â They are probably just under a lot of stress, things are tough at CNN. npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat Guilty admission: sometimes I do miss being on Twitter. Todayâs Facebook memory reminder. https://lionsmane.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:s6j27rxb3ic2rxw73ixgqv2p&cid=bafkreicrcca325lizenqh422aphomxcuerqzuay63jly6xvipebe2dnxbq npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat I feel comfortable mentioning the time I mildly criticized Jake Tapper on Twitter for a âwhat do you expect of a defense lawyerâ comment on Twitter and he responded by DM just FURIOUS and resentful I would call him out in public. When people show you who they are, believe them the first time. npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat Itâs a very YOU HATE WAFFLES week on Bluesky. npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat /13 https://lionsmane.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:s6j27rxb3ic2rxw73ixgqv2p&cid=bafkreieu7dkx3mzp3tveov2qdyhwm5ebkz5n7lf6gcthtulwv44c52mfxe npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat Cc: @[email protected] https://lionsmane.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:s6j27rxb3ic2rxw73ixgqv2p&cid=bafkreigwezv3yhbrpudbzy34xxvsud5jbvbooxbgkiuuf5re2thlm325fe npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat Iâm noticing that Trumpers talking â on Facebook, or other social media, or interviews, etc. â are increasingly picking up on the administrationâs stupid and censorial âlibs are provoking thisâ narrative. Their support for free speech was always bullshit. npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat Look, people, letâs stop being so judgmental about folks who stay on Twitter/X. There are fewer Nazis here, sure, but if a woman gets murdered by an ICE agent and you want to see her corpse in a bathing suit, where are you on Bluesky? Out of luck, thatâs where. npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat Hereâs a comment for the people who are upset that MN hasnât charged Jonathan Ross already: If you just Leeeroy Jenkins this shit you will lose and you will empower fascism and murder. It is indescribably hard to prosecute cops for murder. It is even hard when the murder is ON VIDEO. /1 npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat /2 There was a broad consensus in 1992 â among people like those likely reading this thread â that the Rodney King video inarguably showed illegal police brutality. The cops were acquitted. LA burned. For multiple reasons the jurors didnât share that reality or perception. npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat In case you missed it last night: No, it is definitively not defamation to call Jonathan Ross a murderer, and people who say it is are liars or ignorant or both. #nevent1qâŠfpwd npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat /4 I am trying to be patient and empathetic with people who donât participate because they are afraid or already carrying too much. But I have contempt for the âlook at these people talking about trying, I will sneer at themâ people who contribute nothing to anything or anybody. npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat /5 Not everyone can do this to help. But there are lots of things to do. If you want, please respond to this with ideas of how to help: how to defy Trumpism, and support America, by defying evil, by helping the least of us, by looking out for your neighbor (in the Good Samaritan sense). Ideas? npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat /4 Trump and ICE and the rest of the fascist scum can murder and lie and oppress, but they canât kill that decency that some real Americans have. They donât have it, they are inadequate without it, and it infuriates them. But they canât kill it. npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat /3 Think about it. Faced with lawless, violent thugs who feel entitled to murder and abuse, and faced with an unimaginably powerful government openly praising and endorsing murder and lying to justify it, these people are still showing up, often for people they donât even know. npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat /2 In light of that, I am in awe and deep respect of the people who are still showing up to monitor the ICE Gestapo, protect and defend their neighbors, do whatever they can to hold ICE to account and call out their lawlessness. What incredible bravery. npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat More people are going to be murdered by ICE. Itâs clear. The tactics ensure it, ICE is getting more furious and being disagreed with or resisted in any way, the verminous administration supports them and has shown they will tell any lie to support ICE murdering people. /1 npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat /9 Anyway, a substantial project of the Right is to make it dangerous, expensive, and ideally illegal to speak the truth about them. Donât give up an inch of ground. npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat /3 Hence, neither âJonathan Ross murdered Renee Goodâ nor âAshli Babbitt was murderedâ is defamatory, because those are based on your interpretation of disclosed facts â like videotaped events. Youâre giving your interpretation â your OPINION â of the disclosed fact. npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat /2 Defamation requires a false statement of provable fact. Things that are not provable fact include hyperbole, rhetoric, insult, and things the audience understands are expressions of opinion rather than expressions of verifiable fact. Your interpretation of what you see on a video is an opinion. npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat Expect to see a surge of proud ignorance and proplawganda about what you can say about ICE agent Jonathan Ross, identified by local media as the person who shot and killed Renee Good. In particular, expect a repeat of Rittenhouse-era âaccusing him of murder is defamationâ rhetoric. Itâs not. /1 npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat The Republican Party is no longer American in any meaningful sense of the term, to borrow the language of the Claremont Institute. https://lionsmane.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:s6j27rxb3ic2rxw73ixgqv2p&cid=bafkreiczbipxr4dtcsr2shpoinyap3opwnvktpzobqgcnvrhdcreqw5d4e https://lionsmane.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:s6j27rxb3ic2rxw73ixgqv2p&cid=bafkreig42iy7hqdihq36zkhswe5imbqymwbpbhvui2qnlmwl7ew4hr6r6u https://lionsmane.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:s6j27rxb3ic2rxw73ixgqv2p&cid=bafkreigcfv5hcqvejfuj5oteodp4ghno3arkttompw6bt4tmtghs24evem https://lionsmane.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:s6j27rxb3ic2rxw73ixgqv2p&cid=bafkreie3xgue4u5rrykeuy5uwnlp3xjuki34zkvcpnt4edug34f7txi26m npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat Trumpists will be giving the ICE murderer awards and recognitions and honors. Thatâs because (1) killing someone who thinks differently than they do is their fantasy (2) most of them are too spineless to do it but (3) by praising the murderer they can murder in a fantasy-league way npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat 1. ICE will kill you. 2. Trumpists will lie to justify it. 3.

But some people have the souls of Nazis â a reflexive race and religion-based hatred â but lack the character to stand up and say âthis is who I am.â They lack the character EVEN TO BE A NAZI. npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat I donât use blocklists but if someone would make one listing every pointless shitbird who piled on Parker Malloy and made her leave, I would subscribe. npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat You can take the Europeans out of the Imperium but you canât take the Imperium out of the Europeans https://lionsmane.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:s6j27rxb3ic2rxw73ixgqv2p&cid=bafkreiauwtxzzfyt5se6jetz7thth3qjow5jk7lqffa3mba5gbjshp6bji https://lionsmane.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:s6j27rxb3ic2rxw73ixgqv2p&cid=bafkreifbkhlfizvww7qnu67dngss2mudzbxsr7zqrcghc7gfhmgxnlahli npub1qm9q53hf2edayzcehcr495dlffzdtp4p4rhds0cjwcw0errehmdqpysgha Fucking Bitch Hat Boycotting Constitution Hall because the DAR wonât let Marian Anderson sing has costs.
