Every woman has heard it. Your daughter, your sister, your mother, your wife. We have ALL heard it.

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car.

He said “do something b*tch” and shot her 5 times.

The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled “f*cking bitch”.

They hate women & it shows.

Maybe they imagine that their death will make them a glorious martyr for the MAGA movement and they'll be revered as a patriot.

But if an ICE agent is, you know, beaten to death by suburban housewives or something, that man is going to become the most viral meme the internet has ever seen.

The White House surely wants to see one of these ICE crackdowns lead to violent pushback. They've got untrained unqualified goons acting with impunity. It seems deliberately designed to provoke an incident.

But do the goons get this? Do they know the big plan is to get a couple of them killed?

One thing Ross’s angle of the shooting reveals is that he had pretty decent evidence that the person he was about to shoot is a Lesbian and I don’t think it’s unwarranted to venture that this influenced his eagerness to kill her

Yeah, this is why piecing the evidence soberly matters. To me, these guys escalated things at every turn, unnecessarily. It is possible they saw a couple of unbothered women and decided to teach them a lesson through fear. The panic they intentionally created then is used to “justify” the shooting.

the world isn't a fucking hearts of iron game...

this should be cause for the entire rest of the world to invade the USA.

this is.

this is tyrant shit. a war declared against all humankind

Full citizenship and the destruction of the DHS is still the moderate solution the actual leftist position is the abolition of borders

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

This is the "testing the waters" phase of the playbook. The GOP ecosystem targets groups like Somalis, Haitians, and trans people specifically because they've calculated that the average person's passive disapproval won't ever turn into active defense. They're exploiting public apathy.

"cognitive amplifier tools"

there's some sort of intra-community discourse going on and i just want to say

if you aren't on board the Estelle x Princess Josh incest train yet you need to play Trails in the Sky right now.

choo choo &c

(also don't tear down other trans women ok)

just listened to Mamdani's speech. that health thing cover fat bitches getting hernia repair?

if so maybe i gotta get to New York for a bit, steal myself a fix, and get back to my beloved baltimore

call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago

I’m at the Nazi bar.

I’m at the automated CSAM machine.

I’m at the combination Nazi bar and automated CSAM machine.

Community is Life - Together people find their ways out of hardships, turning the bounty of the oceans and the remnants of the old world into new paths forward. They give each other joy to combat despair. The strengths of one may counter the weaknesses of another, so that the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts. Community is Danger - Where there are people there are scared people, greedy people, schemers and opportunists. There's always someone there who wants to get as much as they can and give as little back as possible. Cults, corrupt politicians, greedy buisinessfolk, and the broken lashing out -- to live in solidarity with others is to face the dangers of people head on and suffer their degradations. Solitude is Peace - It is only alone where you can rest. Whether that be the isolation of sleep, isolated meditation, or the natural communion of a lone sailor staring at the sunrise, everyone needs their moments of solitude. To be alone is to be safe from exploitation. To be calm. To be at peace. Solitude is Death - You may be able to live alone for a time, but you can not do everything. Without people to lean on, sooner or later a storm will come that will dash your ship to pieces. Then you will be safe from exploitation, calm, and at peace forevermore: a rotting corpse bobbing along on the sea.

I am very sane and normal (working on Vessalia while fighting my hernia this 4am)

It’s too late, I have already portrayed myself as Chortling Bernie and you as Seething Eric Adams

the worst thing about the automated sex abuse grok shit is the sex abuse.

the second worst thing is that "solutions" will be puritan bs harming swers and queers and artists without protecting women or children

bleh

🙏 more realistic hope for 21 because idk how its getting better in 8 days xD

This would be so popular at the national level if centrist Democrats let us use those words in that order

One underrated thing Mamdani has going for him is that he has always known he is ineligible for the presidency

The profession of elected official attracts a lot of people with delusions of grandeur and an agenda built around getting to the job they want rather than doing the job they actually have

sliwa correctly understanding that mamdani ran a very traditional campaign and thus surpassing the analytical ability of 80% if people who comment on politics for a living

id swear in on a copy of the comprehensive magic the gathering rules, to maximize confusion among the worst weirdos

get in loser we're doing day one permitting reform

god i wish i didn't get such sensory overwhelm in NYC. I want to be governed by someone who gets it

they’re going to want to kill him for this but he’s so right, individualism as an ideology needs to end

This is the liberal/centrist fantasy world where bipartisanship, even the weakest performance of it, becomes the sole indicator of a leader's worth. War crimes? Not a problem! They reached across the aisle! That one time! A hero of humanity!
