Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats.

The checks and balances only work when the institutions aren’t run by utter cowards and the complicit

oh just the president laying down the conditions for martial law to prevent elections…

comic: Authoritarians call it violence when you resist their policies. ICE boot stomping down on a person, they reach back to stop them "Look violence from teh left!"

accurate. this is why it's useless to engage in the violence/nonviolence debate. fascists will always frame any effective resistance as violent regardless of what tactics it uses. all that matters is what works. based on history, usually it's collective non-cooperation.

so what he really means here is NOBODY should be ALLOWED to be trans, an IDENTITY that no one else can either bestow or take away

and i hope you realize

when he spouts this goofily-worded nonsense from his concrete brains

what he’s actually advocating for

so yeah: SHUT IT DOWN

This is much, much more significant than the Comey indictment but has gotten like 0.1% of the media coverage

I kinda have to agree. The Court has repeatedly gone out of its way to ignore or contradict the plain meaning of the Constitution and other long-settled precedent to allow Trump to do whatever he wants with the executive branch. If that's not a rogue court I don't know what is.

your daily reminder that hope is a floatation device- grab it with both hands 🖤

now that it's october im legally allowed to post this

the trump administration is elevating to quash protests, they want people to be scared so they don’t block the gestapo from rounding up and deporting americans. they will try to jail as many people as they can. this is a fascist regime in action

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting. The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The "known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson. So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself." 1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium. Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary. Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

Elon Musk was trolling the world when he offered to buy twitter but since he never experienced real consequences in his life, he didn’t realize that he couldn’t just walk it back or laugh it off. Don’t confuse his unintended consequences for being deliberate calculations

Always remember that one dude who went on the craziest adventure to buy and have the DSi McDonald’s game and then copied and dumped it for its preservation THIS SHIT IS IMPORTANT
