heads up to the american news media: I do not care what racists thought of the super bowl halftime show

This is a perfect example of "I saw a thing that I could do and I started doing it"

Venn diagram of had friendly email correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein and argued that wokeness is a dire threat to civilization that must be stopped before it finishes destroying freedom.

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

Let me reiterate: THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO PERSECUTE LARGE NUMBERS OF DISSENTERS. What they are doing, instead, is using fear and paranoia as a force multiplier: they don’t have to persecute us if we keep ourselves home because someone told us we can’t walk in public without being terrified.

YouTube video by NBC10 Philadelphia Philly DA vows to prosecute ‘wannabe Nazi' ICE agents who violate the law

"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States."

Because they're sincere in their principles?

The head of the Republican Party will head into the midterms trying to invade Greenland, impose higher taxes on consumers, terrorize American cities, build a lavish ballroom, refuse to release the Epstein files, and pardon drug dealers and fraudsters.

We have Justin Amash and Bill Kristol saying ABOLISH ICE before most Democrats.

What does that say about the Democratic establishment?

Primary season is on right now, folks.

We all deserve better.

They're trying so hard to justify a murder. And every American should know: if they kill you, this is what they'll do to you.

There is a GFM for Juan Carlos the young man beaten, kidnapped and robbed by ICE

Renee Good’s Murder was Misogyny We cannot ignore the distinctively gendered dynamics of this—and much other—fascist violence

I beg us not to lose sight of the role queerphobia played along with misogyny. Becca Good’s tone in interacting with Ross was just like her late wife’s: calm yet lightly mocking; neither scared nor deferential; and because of that deeply, deeply subversive. katemanne.substack.com/p/renee-good...

Saying the officer who committed murder is a murderer is dangerous, but it's OK to claim that his victim was a domestic terrorist who literally ran him over.

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."

That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

Half the reason they hate immigrants is that not a one of them can even conceive of the courage it takes to move to a foreign country and rebuild your community while learning a new language, all in hopes of a better life. All they can do is whine on fucking Twitter.

Don't bring a zinger to a gun fight.

Everyone is understandably sharing the Miller quote, but I found this response from photographer Christopher Anderson to be notable, too.

The problem is not the pardon power. The problem is us. We weren't supposed to elect a crook as POTUS. If we did, the people we elected in Congress are supposed to do something about it. We're idiots, so we've elected crooks & cowards all the way up the line.

The problem is us. We need to fix us.

It sounds like the Republicans should stop protecting Bill Clinton and release the Epstein files.

THIS is the paper I subscribe to? WTF

Saw some post somewhere earlier about people “not getting” transness or whatever

You don’t have to get it.

If you believe in bodily autonomy for all, then no one needs you to understand their personal situation to earn being seen as a person by you.

You just treat every human being as a person.
