I honestly think one reason Millennials are so angry about all this is that many of us grew up during the brief period in American history where the official line was that we had won history *because* of our values, and most of us actually internalized that.

Whole Foods AI stores were entirely Indians watching on video feeds and ringing you up. Waymos have live human support partially driving them. And the AI that has “Hollywood shaking in its boots” is…stock footage. With face replacement.

Yeah. We are sooooooo cooked, AI bros. Call me when it works.

Russell Vought is the worst person in this regime that most people have never heard of.

some things are actually getting worse here.

Panic! at the social event in a loud bar where I can't understand anyone and also I've definitely met at least half these people and gun to head I couldn't tell you a thing about them because I'm faceblind so I'm just sorta playing along and hoping if I drink more things will be OK

Spanberger is a moderate Democrat who used to work for the C.I.-fucking-A. It should put the actions of Schumer and Jeffries into perspective for everyone. Are they Republicans? Because they sure act like it.

They need to get the fuck out.

I woke up feeling ready to scrap again.

I got some really good advice in grad school for dealing with setbacks and it still works: give yourself the rest of the day to mourn and really feel your feelings—be a caricature, wallow, use all your coping mechanisms. Go to bed, dust off, and move on.

Pay attention. A president who lost a presidential election and then committed crimes to try to overthrow that presidential election is certainly a president who would do whatever he could to fuck with, take over, or try to cancel a midterm election.👇

Because they did. It has been the stated goal for these groups and individuals for well over a decade.

They are accelerationist fascists whose goal is the end of the world so they could rule over the ashes.

I’m so over the best people, the brightest lights, leaving this Earth too soon, while the most evil among us seemingly live forever, drinking from their goblets on their vile thrones.

Got in literal screaming fights with my dad in 2016

Honestly, I think Obama might be a top five president in hindsight simply because it turned out this country was a shithole powderkeg and he managed to ride the tiger for eight years somehow. Last Roman type of thing.

The Sluts Will Save Us: The Minneapolis Sex Shop Resisting ICE Smitten Kitten, a sex shop in Minneapolis, has become an unlikely community hub for people protesting ICE.

the sluts WILL save us.

BREAKING: The Senate just blocked a bill that would have renewed ICE's budget without real, enforceable changes.

This is a direct result of hundreds of thousands of people across the nation demanding that our Senators vote no.

infiltrators! there's even a handy song! it's much more useful because they'll know what to ACTUALLY look out for.

Fascists being surprised when their hyper sociopathic, backstabbing, violent ideology turns against them is always great to see. Like you’re only safe so long as they you’re useful to the regime. Fail them, and you’re getting thrown to the wolves too

"The Dark Lord has taken over our land. What do we do?"

"Learn from the goblins."

"What? Those useless little-"

"Takes skill to mask rebellion as incompetence."

"What?"

"They know His reign will end. For now, they persist and resist."

"Oh."

"Also: remember every moment of joy is a victory."

What happens when the Rough Music has a Bass Drop?

I think we are all about to find out.

Also do *not* fedpost in my replies. I’m just as fucking angry as you are

ICE is murdering people like dogs in the street. I can't even imagine the justifications that will surely come from this one.

I'm looking for witnesses/victims of DHS retaliation against people recording their agents (ICE, Border Patrol, FPS, etc) in North Carolina.

I focus on press, but victims do NOT need to be a journalist. Everyone has right to record.

Our friends @aclunc.bsky.social would also love to hear from you:

For the 587th time: I am a single-issue voter for the next 2 elections. Prison for the people responsible for this shit. Down to the secretary scheduling travel and filling out paperwork. I don't care if it takes 50 years. I don't care if it's expensive. Charges and trials for every last one.

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since.

That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.

this alone is worth an impeachment tbh

The Insurrection Act does require an actual insurrection. The violence in Minneapolis is almost exclusively one-sided. People yelling at you, calling you names, and recording you on a cell phone isn’t violence. And if the courts let Trump say it is, we’re in a lot of trouble.
