Today In Stochastic Terrorism

Elmo is not stupid.

But like so many of his fellow travelers, he is malicious in his feigned ignorance.

He deleted that tweet shortly after he posted it, but the implied threat landed - it had the intended effect.

ie: Punish a few journalists by suspending their accounts, then threaten all the others in a vague, off-handed way, and then "retract" the threat to cover your ass.

I truly hope we don't start thinking we can all go back to sleep, believing the elections of 2020 and 2022 put an end to this Daddy State shit. It didn't.

These assholes will keep trying for as long as we allow them to roam free.

We have to stomp the GOP

until there's nothing left

but a greasy spot on the rug.

And even then,

don't start thinking it's over -

there will be a next time.

There's always a next time.
