I don't know how to convey to people that POLICING in the US is experienced by countless Black and brown people in the way that ICE is currently acting towards people.

looks like donald trump used the military to do a smash and grab for his personal benefit

one lesser awful thing about the Epstein files is that genuine crimes against a huge number of children are being morphed into fuel for the influencer industrial complex who don't care about truth or accuracy and just want grist for the content mills

Can I say something—

Preview of news program with title "who should be fed chair?"

Nobody. I do not think you can eat chair

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

We are breathing a sigh of relief, but the fight is not over." ALA President Sam Helmick. Show up for our libraries, American Library Association.

Don't fine ICE, put ICE agents who did crimes in jail.

Don't fine companies, put CEOs who gave the president obvious bribes in jail.

And so on.

resources re: ICE presence in North Carolina, distribute widely if you feel like it. all love to my community, no love to the people who said "but what is fascism really? historically, blah blah, name-calling gets us nowhere" when we were all saying "these people are fascists"

"one day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this"

Counterpoint:

If you have a job you sold out

There's literally a subprime car loan crisis going on, two automotive finance companies went bankrupt in the last few weeks, been a rash of squeamish headlines about private equity and finance, high-interest buy now pay later schemes for GROCERIES and medical bills have become a massive industry

Vicky and I have both been saying this for a long time: they have exhausted their capabilities. They are already doing everything they can and bluffing that if we fight back they'll do more, but it's been the same bluff since the George Floyd Uprising. Stop falling for it.

I want to once again reiterate what I said earlier. The reason the vast majority of Democratic and so-called centrist elites have acquiesced over and over again is that they are COMPLICIT. Because they actually know that direct confrontation is how you defeat fascists and choose not to do it.

If you imposed a carbon copy of the U.S. Constitution on Kazakhstan tomorrow, Kazakhstan wouldn’t magically become America. Because Kazakhstan isn’t filled with Americans. It’s filled with Kazakhstanis!

compare missouri senator eric schmitt to notorious pro-slavery ideologue george fitzhugh

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me

pretty wild how the worries and the loss of freedoms i had seen on the horizon as a high schooler in like 2013 are becoming reality now. would be a great time to do a mass flag burning

it's inherent in the idea of popular front against fascism that it has room for trans people, racial and religious minorities, socialists, etc. the biggest obstacle to building such a front right now is the fraction of dems who are insistent that various minorities simply have to eat shit to win

Bari Weiss’s Free Press Wants You to Know Some Kids Being Starved by Israel Were Already Sick The site did an “investigation” into preexisting conditions in starving kids in Gaza — the same logic that would have you believe typhus killed Anne Frank.

The Free Press’s so-called corrections are a ghoulish reminder: It is not a problem of insufficient evidence, it is not a problem of knowledge, that continues to fuel, with support and funds, this genocide.
