Kaleidic Riot

Is this a headline from 1979?

War is Peace

Freedom is Slavery

Ignorance is Strength

Somebody please give totally-not-a-reactionary-hack Walter Block the "fell for it again" award.

Borders are fake. They can not hurt you. Only people can hurt you. People are already here, hurting you. You are people. Stop it. What are you doing? Hurting yourself, thats what. You've imagined a little box, and crawled inside it. What the hell, buddy? You are not stuck in a box. Borders are fake.

"There are valid concerns and criticisms to be had about immigration."

No there aren't. Fuck you. Don't concede that absurd shit. Abolish every border. Let hundreds of millions in. Why are you justifying violence to keep folks out? Why are you pretending like nations aren't moral atrocities?

"our violence is surgical." collateral damage is never acknowledged. "our violence is moral." every pretense is false. "our violence is necessary." every place we touch is hurled into chaos that takes years to unfuck.

I see the 7th George W. Bush administration is going well.

Yeah, you can't crudely analyze the AI org fights in terms of classic capitalist incentives alone, there's fucking huge amounts of sincere true believer ideology in play. Many folks involved would absolutely die or kill for their esoteric frameworks and I bet there's fractal nest of conspiracies.

It’s wrong to vaporize school children even if Congress votes to approve it.

We bombed an elementary school in a fucking seaside town with an entire fucking mountain range between it and Tehran. 24 little girls are dead. This is not a war for them. It’s not a war for liberation. Don’t let anyone fool you that this war is justified.

Don’t let anyone tell you that it is a measured response to the Ayatollah’s treachery against his own people, that it’s only because negotiations failed, that it’s solely for the purpose of liberating the oppressed Iranian people.

Don’t let anyone tell you that this unhinged war of aggression the United States and Israel just instigated against Iran is justified.

Reporting from @thisamericanlife.org on the Prairieland trial. This political prosecution poses grave threats to First Amendment rights, and all who care about freedom should be following it.

Any institution that sends violence workers because people are having fun in the snow needs a massive budget cut to pay for…literally anything else.

@ilyasomin.bsky.social, libertarian legal scholar, warned against this

“Taken together, we find that immigration saves elderly lives, and these health improvements may come through protective effects of avoiding the nursing home setting and through better treatment of those who go to nursing homes.”

Conservative MP searches for ‘antifa’ in federal government, Canadian Armed Forces - National | Globalnews.ca Federal departments and the Canadian Armed Forces must answer by April how many members of anti-fascist groups work for the public service and the military.

So much of the discussion about antifa on the right is projection of their strategies onto the left. The right has billionaire financing, so the left must also. The right joins the military for training, so the left must also. Hopefully, this doesn’t go beyond grandstanding.

trying to estimate the size and commitment of people via posts is questionable but one thing that minneapolis points to IMHO is a return of a militant liberalism we really haven't seen in the west since the cold war started

Me in court some day: Your honor, my bloc was bad tho. They were all dunking on my bloc online. They said I was doing punk bloc without the punk. They said I was doing normie bloc without the bloc. They said they were making a zine about my bad bloc but it had to be a book.

On February 20, officials at the “Central Office” ordered FCI Butner’s medical director to terminate Ms. Pinson’s hormone treatment. Declaration of Grace Pinson § 4 (Feb. 24, 2024) (hereinafter “Feb. 24 Pinson Decl.”). In the days that followed, prison officials made Ms. Pinson strip naked and subjected her to a demeaning visual cavity search in front of multiple male guards; they rifled through her personal and sensitive papers, including legal documents, and tossed them into a cell covered in feces, and extended her detention her in a segregation unit after she was supposed to return to general population. Id. 4 5-8. One of the officials who engaged in this conduct, Lt. Teague, told Ms. Pinson that if “you want to make it home alive, you need to stop sending stuff to that fucking judge.” Id. | 6. Lt. Teague told Elmer Moreno, another incarcerated person who conferred with class counsel about this litigation, that Mr. Moreno was being held in solitary confinement because he had “been talking to [Ms. Pinson’s] lawyers.” Id. § 9. Summarizing his management philosophy, Lt. Teague informed Ms. Pinson: “I’ve told you before, and I'll tell you again, I don’t give a fuck what that judge says, I do what I want.” Id. 6.

"If you want to make it home alive, you need to stop sending stuff to that fucking judge"

"I don't give a fuck what the judge says, I do what I want"

The state of the union is that we're a little over a year into a fascist coup, the president's secret army is murdering people in the streets and rounding people up into concentration camps, and the violent machinery of the state continues to grow and grow.

i don't think transgender people are an example of oncoming transhumanism & techbro debauchery and anyone saying as much does not have our best interests in mind. changing ur sex is no more a perversion of the natural order than eyeglasses

transgenderism *is* transhumanism

eyeglasses *are* a perversion of the natural order

appeal to nature fallacies are dumb, stop letting "tech bros" negatively polarize you against genuinely good and cool things

Pep and Krystal selfie in the car, headed home

Pep's out!

"Now I return to the point of departure, having fared well with your hands at my back every step of the way. I return to my comrades’ arms for a moment to pause and breathe; we are still not free until all are free."

Trump continuing with his economically illiterate lie that only foreigners pay tariffs.

This is literally covered in like the third day of econ 101, but this orange moron is to cognitively incompetent to understand this.

The swiss cheese that is his brain is your brain on nationalism.

This is the true State of the Union. Secret police murdering people in concentration camps.

The tree of liberty thirsts.

Immigrants Have Lower Lifetime Incarceration Rates than Native-Born Americans Immigrants are less likely to be criminals than native-born Americans.

Meanwhile in reality in contrast to this lying fascists racist delusions about migrants, migrants commit crimes at lower rates than citizens.

This is a fascist dictator lying about an outgroup to manufacture consent to a brutally violent ethnic cleansing campaign.

The tree of liberty thirsts.
