This is fundamentally Nazism. The idea that different peoples than the favored races carry degradation in their very genes, that they cannot strive to become better because biology compels them to be worse. It’s not just repugnant, it’s a bald faced lie.

This is what happens when we’re governed by stupid people who think life is a reality show.

I keep saying that if they set up To Catch a Predator type stings in each area that ICE shows up, the already high recidivism rate of J6ers would skyrocket

The State’s attorney for the suburban IL county where I live will bluntly tell you that his office has been unable to move forward w multiple cases involving child abuse because the witnesses are afraid to show up in court. So much for “ hashtag save our children”

Jason Statham movies scratch the same itch that Leverage does-seeing slimy powerful people get their comeuppance in a way that you know will never happen in real life. Seeing them line up to get punched is a delightful perk.

It all just seems … rather pointless, doesn’t it?

Remember you’re not just capturing as much detail as possible to aid in the moment, but so that your documentation can be used in their future trials

Is there anything more profitable than taking advantage of these rubes by offering to help w their vice signalling?

Even more frightening for me was the realization that a lot of the menfolk don’t think we have the same kind of inner life. They’re genuinely confused that we’re not content being a “ helpmeet” w no life or interests outside of the household.

I do wish vice signalling wasn’t so profitable

Tyler and I are out here at the rally where the crowd has about doubled since this first post. Easily 400+ people.

Group is chanting “no hate, no fear, everyone is welcome here.”

Mass protests are an implicit threat of potential violence even when they are entirely peaceful.

They serve to keep state power in check by demonstrating “there are more of us than you so fix your shit.”

The state knows this, which is why its agents often respond to them with unprovoked violence.

Some Notes on the City of Angels and the Nature of Violence I think maybe it's begun, the bigger fiercer backlash against the Trump Administration which is itself a violent backlash against every good thing that's happened over the past several decades – the a...

"Here it's also useful to make a distinction between property damage (which protesters in the USA in our era have done from time to time) and harming living beings (which is largely something done by law enforcement in these demonstrations)."

How have you not learned yet that carrying water for this administration is not going to save you?

You cannot go about your life thinking about ways to avoid making fascists angry. You will not succeed, and you will not be free.

A valuable list. Three concentrations: The Civil War, the Civil Rights Era, and anti-labor throughout. US Gov't has taken this step 14 times w/ main purpose of opposing white supremacists, six times w/ central purpose of supporting them. Trump, of course, joins this latter "tradition."

Gov. Gavin Newsom and the White House confirm that the federal government is preparing to federalize the National Guard and deploy up to 2,000 military troops in Los Angeles.

Let’s be very clear—this is not crowd control. This would be a federal occupation of a U.S. city.

I always describe Guy Gavriel Kay’s books as being one of the few things that can make this dumpster fire of a timeline recede into the background for a few hours.Try Sailing to Sarantium-historical fiction w bit of fantasy.His narrators have a voice that show such tenderness towards his characters

I mean, this one’s not a parody…

But wouldn’t that be acknowledging that Pence was right?

I mean, either one of them could od tomorrow, so perhaps not the best argument?

Hear me out.

In a better world we wouldn’t have to watch fascist billionaires get into pissy fights or be pressured to side between a Nazi oligarch and a pedophile president.

In a better world these people would be in prison or kept from seizing power and hoarding resources.

I was talking about this with my students yesterday—throughout Western Europe, Nazism is treated in public spaces and memorials as a nightmare, as horror that must never be repeated.

If slavery and Jim Crow received the same commemoration in the US, we'd be a very different country.

Oh thank GOD you posted a picture of popcorn.

I was beginning to think that the Minority Leader of the opposition party wasn’t going to do anything to fight back against accelerating fascism

Thanks for the sound bite Sen Booker. Now would you consider NOT voting for the regime’s unqualified nominees and damaging bills?
