When these people insist the mere presence of people unlike them is an attack on them, their country, or their rights, this is exactly the outcome they are seeking, and disappointment among far right Trumpists is largely that he failed to produce events like this here. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

Recall that “you’re not allowed” doesn’t mean you will be jailed or sued or prohibited; it means that other people will exercise their First Amendment rights in response to yours, to express their views and defend their neighbors. But that violates Free Speech Culture.

I get an email from @sheaserrano.bsky.social about his new book. I thought I already ordered it when it was a secret project. Couldn’t confirm so I just bought it again and added the note below. Turns out I did already order the new book. I now own two copies of Shea’s new book and I regret nothing.
I wish for @sheaserrano.bsky.social to do a live Good Movie event at a Spurs finals game

“If they lock down the country for Hantavirus i will shoot up a Walmart“ is a classic conditional hyperbolic U.S. V. Watts type not-true-threat, particularly in a gaming context, known for boisterous dipshits. Though the guy’s appearance ain’t helping him. www.fox10phoenix.com/news/-arkans...
Sheriff: Man threatened Walmart mass shooting if hantavirus led to lockdown

Tom Nichols@radiofreetom.bsky.social · 4mo agoIf Trump does give an order to attack civilian targets that have no military value as a means of collectively punishing the Iranian people - and make good his threat to begin a genocide - Marco Rubio should resign and the military must refuse the order. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Nicky B.@nickbyrne.bsky.social · 4mo agoTom Nichols is a pretty sober guy well to the the right of the average Bluesky poster who is a stickler about the uses of the terms "genocide" (war crime since 1946) and "collective punishment" (war crime since 1919), and this threat clears his bar by a good margin. bsky.app/profile/radi...
