the clown car arrives in the White House briefing room

I knew our version would be dumb as hell, but damn.... this shit was dumb as hell.

Trump: It’s embarrassing. I’m going to see Putin. I’m going to Russia on Friday.



(Alaska)

No shit!

This. It’s become so silly. Occupying the Capitol is a distraction from what?

What we’re learning about Friday’s CDC shooting:
• 180+ bullets fired
• 150+ windows hit
• 2 security guard stations damaged
• Hundreds of doors damaged as police broke them down trying to get in and keep everyone safe

Could take months to repair.

THE MASS DEPORTATION OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IS A RACIST PURGE OF THE LATINO AND BLACK COMMUNITIES. NOTICE, NO RAIDS OF THE RUSSIAN COMMUNITY IN BRIGHTON BEACH OR THE IRISH COMMUNITY OF BOSTON, WHERE KNOWN UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS REGULARLY LIVE. NO EUROPEAN IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES RAIDED. ~ WENDELL PIERCE HUB CITY AGAINST ALL ODDS COMPTON CA

ICE isn’t going after violent criminals, they’re hunting down innocent people, including US citizens, based solely on the color of their skin.

It’s vile and racist AF, but so on brand for Trump’s administration. These thugs aren’t wearing white hoods, but they might as well. ICE is the new klan.

HiveGeist - Othering The actual is not what we are, but rather what we become, what we are in the process of becoming—that is the Other, our becoming-other.

Yes — because it’s often visible, and in their logic there’s no room for difference.
Disabled = “inferior,” and only useful to the system as a purge target.

For the deeper, structural view of how this logic operates, see:

Vintage black-and-white portrait of a woman in an elegant gown with a pearl necklace, showcasing a formal and poised appearance from an earlier era.

11 August 1909 | A Czech Jewish woman, Anna Beerová, was born. An architect.

She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Theresienstadt Ghetto on 16 October 1944. She left the camp in the Death March. She perished in Bergen-Belsen in April 1945.

A vintage black and white photo of a young girl wearing a dress, standing in front of an armchair adorned with a patterned fabric. The child is surrounded by various toys, including dolls.

11 August 1942 | A transport of 559 Jews deported from #Westerbork in the German-occupied Netherlands arrived at #Auschwitz. After the selection 164 men & 131 women were registered.

The remaining 264 people were killed in a gas chamber, incl. a 2-year old Magdalena Dora Blau.

HiveGeist - Fascism: Collapse, Recursion, and Denial If you're trapped in the dream of the Other, you're fucked. — Gilles Deleuze

Exactly — fascism is a donut. 🍩

A closed loop, sealed against feedback.
It feeds on its own denial, circling endlessly while decay spreads outward.
Looks solid from the outside, but the center is hollow.

If anyone has contacts with Jennifer Welch, please let me know. I must have her on The Left Hook. Loved her rant about triple Trumpers. Wish more white liberals said it like she did.

And here is the second.

Seems I’m missing out on the military occupation of DC this week.

Also, trying to refresh my memory about the National Guard response on January 6th…

It's the Marthas of Bluesky that make this place great

After WWII, until 1991, when the Soviet Union ‘fell’, the Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania) - now NATO members - were under Soviet control. The people are terrified over what is happening to Ukrainians. They know they are next.
This video is outside the Russia Embassy in Tallinn, Estonia.

A still of Officer David Rose speaking as class leader of Dekalb’s 138th police academy during their graduation ceremony. Quote: “It’s about protecting the vulnerable, standing for justice and being the person who runs toward danger when others run away.”

Officer David Rose died protecting us.

A true hero. Thank you.

YouTube video by Seth Abramson Hounds, “Hands Off DC”

In preparation for what is going to happen at 10AM tomorrow in DC, Hounds has released this song.

It’ll be on streaming services on Tuesday.

So... this is the loudest, hardest-driving, most unforgiving Hounds song ever released. And it’s extremely NSFW.

But the situation calls for such an anthem.

Loud explosions are heard in Moscow region.

Drones have been reported and Russia will say air defence was working in the Ramenskoe district, but I'm looking for evidence.

Moscow's Zhukovsky airport has been shut.

HiveGeist - Surface Rot and the Structure It Reveals They tried to bury us. They didn’t know we were seeds. — Mexican proverb

Thank you for sharing it — more people need to see how deep the rot goes.
It’s not just bad actors, it’s the structures that protect them.

Ohio managed to get thousands of people to hold hands and link arms in a human chain that stretched 8 miles to stand against ICE.

8 miles of humans linked together.

Did you know that... ?
