The best known solution to fascism was chambered in .30-06. Added bonus: said solution is also reasonably effective against communism.

Once they convinced themselves they'd made themselves immune to armed mobs coming for them they had no reason to keep it on the DL.

/7 Justice Roberts smug and superior dismissal of the dissents’ concerns seems to come to us via time warp from some time that never knew Trump. The danger of lawlessness he poses are manifest — he and his followers brag of them. Only a liar or fool would dismiss them.

These people have an impoverished idea of what dignity means. For a start, if you’re incapable of work because of disability, are you leading an undignified life? We all rely on other human beings. We’re a social species. It’s just the bonds of reliance look different at different times of life.

It's only bribery if you do it in front of a notary, shake hands with the special bribery handshake, and recite the words "this bribe of current market value $5000 or more is for a corrupt action you otherwise would not perform" and the official responds "thank you for your bribe for my corrupt act"

“Non-lethal” rubber bullet blinds a journalist in one eye, leads to blindness in the second, and causes dementia and now fatal traumatic brain injury. To be clear: a rubber bullet fired AT her HEAD, while she was flashing journalist credentials and not close to protestors or police. Fatally shot.

There's a great pithy post by I think James Medlock, boils down to: If your direct action is something an infiltrator would do to discredit you, don't do it. Lots of stupid actions (vandalizing homes, tossing bottles at park rangers) that feel good and are fed directly into the Discrediting Machine

When people see a story like this, they understandably tend to think there must be more to it. Someone must be exaggerating.

But Missouri's attorney general and its courts really are trying to execute a man they all know is innocent.

That's the whole story.
