I think they were charging up to cuff her, expecting her to try to run and when she didn't they've had to slow down on the spot (in body armour) abruptly and they look very awkard.

I was never into Dilbert but my parents got me that big collection of them where Scott Adams leaves little comments on them in a sort of marginalia way. It was before a large car trip and I think they thought it would be just funny cartoons like Calvin and Hobbes (which I'd read earlier) to keep me entertained. And so for some reason I can remember certain Dilbert comics in crystal clarity including Scott Adams opinions on the reaction at the time.

Weirdly a similar thing happened to Mattie Lubchansky author of the Antifa Cookbook and Boys Weekend.

Donald Trump? The host of the apprentice?

I've always though a return of WW1 style bicycle troops would be cool in a piece of near future media. Like between fuel shortages, proliferation of EMPs and various ways to track and detect tech, armies start deploying them again.

Gretchen Whitmer and Jay Pritzker. Governors of Michigan and Illnois respectively. Either would be a good presidential candidate now or 2028 (if there's elections). More than someone like Harris or Buttigieg.

The original tweet got deleted so I can’t share but someone said “what does a [US city] [industrial inudstry] union have to do with Palestine?” About a statement of solidarity from the union.

And Lee Carter retweeted “First of all, the Internationale will be the human race, so jot that down”

And that statement which is an IASIP reference, I think will live in my brain forever as a response to any criticism about intersectionality, solidarity or internationalism.

It’s weird because I think had he died a lot of libs would say things like “oh it’s terrible but he kind of brought it on himself”

Or use National Liberation Front. That was the name the guerrilla fighters used.

Viet Minh is the whole popular front so covers NLF, PAVN, DRV. Etc

It’s a good habit also to replace NVA (North Vietnamese Army) with Peoples Army of Vietnam. PAVN. That’s what they were actually called (and still are).

Same for DRV. Democratic republic of Vietnam. It wasn’t two countries. It’s not North Vietnam, just Vietnam.

Not to minimise the NLF who were the guerillas, but the Vietnamese had a formal military in the PAVN who were fighting the US and various allies. The PAVN turned out to be one of the most disciplined and effective militaries of the 20th century. Like the uniformed army of a former colony dog walked you dude.
