The concentration camps will not only be for immigrants, documented or otherwise. They already aren't.

They won't only be for brown and Black people.

The targets will keep expanding. It will not end.

The only way it will is if we stop it. Both in and out of the system. There is no other way.

I don't know what to do but just keep repeating it so I don't go insane: the rise & eventual total domination of RW media is the single most significant political development of my lifetime and the entirely of the US political & media elite resolutely refuse to discuss or even acknowledge it.

What's the purpose of saying that there's no position so extreme that someone could lose your vote? Especially this far out? You're effectively giving possible candidates the all clear to move as far right as they'd like. This seems foolish.

I truly don’t understand how anyone can stand the repulsive sycophantic way LLMs are programmed to talk. Who knew so many people had been waiting all their lives for a personal toady?

Oh my gosh, at first glance I thought this was a duckling with its head stuck in something!

I think they are uniquely terrible. I blame AI.

My wife thinks it was a bear or a mountain lion, but I think they would have found her body by now. It’s horrible whatever the answer is. I don’t have high hopes that she’s alive.

We’re all capillaries in the body of empire, man.

Do not post the CSAM. Do not. Someone just fucking posted a literal series of actual fucking CSAM and it’s not ok. Don’t fucking do it. I reported and blocked and it’s not enough. Why the fuck are people like this. Why.

QAnon was just DARVO

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

I feel like the caps lock shortcut cut was an accommodation for my neurodivergence. Help, I’m being oppressed! How am I supposed to EMPHASIZE words one letter at a time??

The latest update to iOS took the caps lock shortcut off my keyboard and I’m feeling personally attacked.

Here's Billy Bragg's contribution to the genre.

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.”

The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

Thank you for bringing that thread to my attention because lol

Ah, yes, that is the right way of looking at it. We see theatricality employed for so many terrible purposes that I think we forget that it's art and joy and communicating with each other, all things that can be used in so many positive ways.

And he chaseth me with black and white dogs

The Lord is my shepherd, He slaughters my children and serves them on His death anniversary with mint jelly

The Lord is my shepherd, He milks me to make cheese

the Lord is my shepherd, He shaves my entire body to make sweaters

People are sometimes surprised that Trump and other reactionary politicians don't have consistent policies.

They shouldn't be. Reactionaries hate abstract systems and coherence. They don't understand NATO, USAID, public broadcasting, literature, or science. So these things must be destroyed.

Well shit. I wish there were pithier epithets that have the same meaning as “willfully ignorant”, “deliberately obtuse” and “incurious boor”.

“Fool” has multiple meanings: it’s an archaic way of describing a person with an intellectual disability, but also a comedic performer or someone who is ignorant and naive. I feel like it’s less ableist than moron or idiot but still problematic. How about ignoramus?

Common Nighthawk was my thought too but I don’t know if they are active in NM right now.

Fascism has no equilibrium. Its reliance on escalation as proof of legitimacy requires continual acceleration. This process produces contradictions and instabilities that can and must be exploited.

Hahahahahaha

What we are seeing in Minnesota is what authoritarianism looks like in real time. Racism, dehumanization, and state-sanctioned violence are tearing at the foundation of this country.

hey Mom can you come pick me up. yeah everyone on the niche microblogging website is arguing about who has the correct emotional posture to the unknowable future again
