“My car’s making a weird noise, the warning lights are on, and it shakes over 50 mph. I’m driving it to the mechanic.”

MAGA: “Your car’s fine if it drives! Wait until it won’t start to drive it in, you dumb liberal.”

That’s basically every MAGA comment under posts about the #NoKings protest.

A good way to know that someone shouldn’t win a Peace prize is if people are fearful of what that person will do if they don’t win the prize.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Dear rich liberals, can you please buy some of the media and social media networks? Having them all owned by right wing billionaires is not going well.

Trying to cancel my Hulu/disney+ and the cancel subscription button just times out without canceling 🤔

When people dismiss historical atrocities like slavery as “a different time” and culturally acceptable back then, I think they are just excusing themselves for current atrocities like targeting trans people & immigrants.

Eventually they’ll claim now was a different time and they didn’t know better.

P.s. we should all be talking about the dropping crime numbers in amazement given the conditions of increasing wealth inequality, a broken healthcare system, and an economic and environmental path we are on that leaves many younger Americans seeing no positive future for themselves.

Not letting them off the hook but social has added so much fuel to that fire. Local news Facebook posts and comments are also such a cesspool of hate and disinformation.

Absolutely

Haven’t used Citizen before but It’s awful that the fear/rage bait crime and suspicion posts get in the way of info that is actually important for the community.

Yep, and now your fearful neighbors are now piling on top of that with their social posts. Local news Facebook post comment sections are horrendous if you look through them knowing that the worst comments have already been hidden.

Thanks for sharing and adding your thoughts @bencollins.bsky.social!

Exactly, I moved to a very nice neighborhood in Kansas City last summer and got Ring Alerts for the first time and you’d think there were constant gun battles and thieves lurking in the quietest neighborhood I’ve ever lived in.

There may be less crime, but the fear and rage based social media landscape has made everyone way more aware any crimes and tons of suspicions. And geolocation gives proximity to how far it is away from your home. (3/3)

…but also the imagined crimes from the neighborhood Karens that constantly ping your phone (if you have these apps) warning you that fireworks might have been gunshots and that a man walking was suspicious because he wasn’t white... (2/3)

I keep seeing the media say crime is down but people feel like it is up without mentioning the role of phone notifications and social media like Nextdoor, Ring Alerts, and Facebook Groups that not only make people more aware of any crime nearby they wouldn’t have known about in the past… (1/3)

The last year of Katy Perry’s life seems like a sequel reboot of Spinal Tap but with a real 2010’s pop star instead of a fake metal band.

What if instead of pivoting to another network or streamer Colbert starts campaigning for president? He might have a good shot… #Colbert2028 🤷🏻‍♂️

Is there a term for when the subject matter or message of a movie/album/show (that’s been years in the making) serendipitously drops during a window in culture where it is extremely relevant or people are just very open to its vibes/message? Like Black Panther, Ted Lasso, Folklore, Andor, Superman?

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

Impeach Trump, abolish ICE, and hold all of these people accountable.

There is too much news newsing today, we are way over the limit

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

🚨 Secretary Noem basically said that her agency is now dedicated to forcible regime change…in American cities and states.

There 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 name 👏🏽 for 👏🏽 this

Abolish Ice
