I generally think it's not very useful (and frankly kind of annoying) when people resort to harping on moments real or imagined hypocrisy among their political adversaries, but the US far right has spent literally decades droning on about the 1993 raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. They've used it to justify all kinds of heavily armed organizing in opposition to the "tyrannical" federal government up to the point of attacking the US Capitol. It's become such a fundamental building block of their rhetoric and their ideology since the Clinton administration that it wouldn't be much of an exaggeration to argue that, if "Waco" had never happened, we might not be experiencing the kind of fashy upsurge in the US that we've seen over the past decade or so. It really is just that important to their worldview.
So if federal prosecution of an "antifa cell" relies on barring defendants from claiming self-defense using the Branch Davidians as a precedent (which it apparently does) and the right doesn't respond with outrage (which it inevitably won't), then it's almost like they were only ever interested in power in the first place. Weird, I know.
At any rate, yeah, it's just blunt hypocrisy, which by itself doesn't get us very far (and is also about the least surprising thing in the world), but it's also possibly of use when arguing with certain relatives. Your call.
===
In remarks from the bench, [US District Judge Mark] Pittman echoed the government’s citation of a legal precedent set in the prosecution of members of the Branch Davidian sect during the deadly 1993 siege by the FBI at Waco, Texas, according to the support committee.
The government motion cited a 1996 decision by a panel of judges in the Fifth Circuit finding that a Branch Davidian sect member could not claim self-defense when officers of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) came to the group’s compound to serve arrest warrants for stockpiling weapons.
“A member of a conspiracy to murder federal agents, who dresses for combat, retrieves an assault rifle, and proceeds to the front door to confront government agents executing a lawful warrant, is not entitled to claim the benefit of self-defense when the hoped-for confrontation with the agents occurs,” the judges wrote.
Xavier de Janon, the director of mass defense at the National Lawyers Guild, said the new order could weaken the rights of people attempting to protect themselves against law enforcement aggression.
“I am concerned that the ability to defend oneself against law enforcement when they draw their weapon at you has been placed in danger,” de Janon told Raw Story.
“And some people would say you should not have the ability to self-defend against law enforcement. But there is case law that says people have the right to resist unlawful arrest and unlawful law enforcement conduct.”
De Janon represents Elizabeth Soto, one of the federal defendants, in a separate state prosecution.

Motorola announces a partnership with GrapheneOS Foundation, marking a new chapter in smartphone security
Good News. I'm in.As is well known, Google wants to ban the (EDITED: APK sideloading) of “third-party” apps on Android. Since Android does not belong to Google, this is yet another imperial asshole move, but it strengthens truly free Androids such as Graphene OS. I have been using Graphene OS for a long time and it is just what a smartphone should be, namely my own.
It's now very easy to install Graphene OS on a standard Pixel phone, but that puts most people off. Maybe it will soon be available as a normal phone from Motorola. As I know the Graphene OS community, they don't like to compromise. I would buy it. Definitely!https://motorolanews.com/motorola-three-new-b2b-solutions-at-mwc-2026/

Black women on the nightmare of seeking healthcare in the US: ‘I have to be my own doctor’

We absolutely need to redouble efforts to boost #selfdefence efficiency for the #left...

interesting analysis & explanation of what is really going on with frump & co's behaviour & developments as a result by #MeidasCanada from a psychological viewpoint:
#GifsArtidote: the so-called american fascists in power are in the last stages of #NPD narcissistic personality disorder & other #cluster-bPDs like psychopathy. from this point on we can expect extreme violence to break out from whole communities fighting back against #ICE & #NationalGuard.
i think the ppl are #organising as we speak all over the country to fight back. statistically only 20% of any given society is needed to be mobilised to overturn the regime.
i am incouraging you to find a way to contribute to this effort in any way you can think of. and i am talking to anyone globally.
i think we are ALL needed, each to their own ability, to either help defend your own community, but also build a better way moving forward.
what is happening on #TurtleIsland is going to affect us all, as #china & #putin&co are simultaneously overtaking other countries.
there will be nowhere to run, best advice i can give you is stay & defend yourself & your community & if you are able, join the fightback, #educate yourself on #SelfDefence #prepping #organising & effective #resistance. learn about #sabotage #MassBoycotts & starting a #CommunityDefenceForce.
support local, independent businesses, look after your neighbours & vulnerable groups in society & your self.

CW: Inappropriate touching (womans self defence)
Women's Self Defence courses.
Teen daughter got inappropriately touched at work. Unexpectedly, a guest stroked her lower back, saying "Its ok, I know you" while his mate asked if he was going to "feel her up"
She initially froze up, then ran and hid.
So I was wondering how I can help her with options, if / when something happens in the future. What has been useful for other women? What skilled have worked?
I know we have various marital arts places around locally. Or do we try and find more of a shorter focused womans self defence course?
She is in the last year at school, so should be studying more, but she spends all her spare time at Surf Lifesaving (training, training others, being on various boards etc). She has something one every weekend until March. So spare time is limited.
What has helped you?

Worth repeating: Yesterday I attended a talk led by a speaker from the Council to Advance Hunting and the Shooting Sports. She shared that new gun owners are likely to be minority, women, LGBT(etc), democrat, or young. Most likely a combination.
Imagine the shock RWNJs will have, when folks start shooting back.
PS: I don’t condone violence and am still a gun skeptic.

When I was a girl, my mother taught me that if a man got handsy in a public space, to say "keep your hands to yourself!" loudly enough to attract public attention.
Queen Camilla's mother taught her to take off her shoe and clobber the man with it.
(To be fair to my mother, young Miss Shand was much more likely to be wearing shoes than I was. My mother also taught me how to burst an attacker's spleen, but that might be considered disproportionate, being potentially fatal.)
It always helps to have a plan. Parents, equip your kids with the tools you hope they'll never need. And shoes, as climatically appropriate.

"And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill'em right back.
Look, wife or no, you are no one's property to be tossed aside. You got the right, same as anyone, to live and try to kill people. I mean ... you know ... people that are ...

CW: a promise, a threat, and a proportional response: why Nazis are, in fact, different - and punchable
I feel like I should talk about why declaring yourself a Nazi is very specifically different to declaring yourself almost anything else seen as political. Because there is a difference, and it’s really important, and I don’t think people get that, and it has real-world ramifications.
Walk with me.
