"The toolbox isnโt particularly varied. President Trump is using all the instruments: the reported quotas for ICE arrests; the paramilitary force made up of thugs drunk on their own brutality; the spectacle of random violence, particularly in city streets; the postmortem vilification of the victims. Itโs only natural that our brains struggle to find logic in what we are seeing. There is a logic, and this logic has a name. Itโs called state terror."
Even when thereโs no accountability, the record matters. Credit to the Wikipedia editors maintaining this page.

๐Alex J. Pretti๐ age 37, of South #Minneapolis was gunned on in cold blood by #ICE thugs today. He was Brandishing his phone recording ๐ง.
No criminal record. Worked for the VA as an ICU nurse. Legal gun owner. Homeowner. Upstanding member of his community. He was a hero in his career, and went out like a hero trying to protect the women the ICE officer pushed down.
A TRUE hero all around, he didnโt deserve this. RIP #AlexPretti

I am taking down the paywall for this one, as I believe it remains relevant as a reflection on the limits of the authoritarian assault โ and the need to push back against the idea that America is inevitably and irresistibly marching towards a Trump dictatorship.
This weekโs piece:
steady.page/en/democracyamericโฆ
The Limits of Violent Authoritarianism
Trumpโs authoritarian desires are boundless. But the past year proves that his ability to impose them on America is not.Steady
The idea that protests and public opinion are meaningless in the face of the Trumpist assault, that authoritarian regimes are impervious to public pressure, is still widespread.
But it is wrong. And it perpetuates the regime's assertion of inevitability.
traditional mathematical proofs can be hard to reason about. i propose a new method of proof: proof by compiler optimisation.
consider this proof that n * 1 = n and n ^ 0 = 1 for all reasonable values of n.
