These fascists are so incompetent and delusional that they’re going to make tech woke again

Once again, in actual democracies, people do not need to engage in permanent litigation & political mobilization to retain the basic right to vote, because none of the major political parties make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform. We also don't have to live like this.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

Epstein picture haters gonna hate.

This is fucking crazy right. Like truly insane. I know this dude is a wacko but this is totally berserker. Epstein raped and trafficked kids and filmed it. There's audio and video.

So let’s think about this.

A private company refused - on principle - to yield to the government’s demands.

The government then cancelled its contracts with the company and has set about destroying it

a whole bunch of people thought the entire point of being a Christian was enforcing segregation! It's so nuts!!!

Look what happens when a lot of people get together and decide that beating fascism is the order of the day.

EVERYBODY has a job now. Some amazing ppl, like Dan & his fellow goblins, are getting whistles into hands. Others are tracking DHS contracts (next skeet). Others are (etc)

Where are you?

on the other trafficked girls in Esther because the girls in the harem matter, too

So I wrote the thing. Trigger warning.

Too many parallels to ignore.

when did soldiers start being referred to as "war fighters" non stop?

The U.S. military accidentally shot down a government drone Thursday near the Texas-Mexico border, according to federal lawmakers, marking the second time in two weeks that a new anti-drone laser was used to shoot down an object over Texas soil.

Most Americans manage to go their entire lives without worrying what's inside the pants of Boy Scouts and I'm simply asking Pete Hegseth to do the same

The absence of a better choice is never a reason to support a Nazi, or a Nazi fellow traveler, or anyone who thinks Nazis on any issue "had a point," or an asshole who thinks trolling with Nazism he then retracts is a clever media strategy, oe anyone who thinks Nazis have any use at all.

Follow the money. And IIRC, Epstein accused his friend Trump of laundering money for the Russians when he bought the estate Epstein wanted in Florida.

Frost: I saw about an hour ago that Donald Trump said Howard Lutnick is a "very innocent guy." Donald Trump has asserted many times that he knew nothing of Epstein's crimes. If he doesn’t know anything about Epstein’s crimes, how would he know Lutnick is an innocent guy?

This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.

Stew Peters is not "every random neonazi." He's a very influential neonazi who has done incredible harm mainstreaming fascism. Yes, it is the job of anti-fascists to do the fucking work to not promote fascism. That's pretty much the job.

Best people-watching spot in town. No people in pic because I try not to be a dick.

I don't know why this is so hard. Fighters win—we see that over and over, because often it's *not* about their politics! Trump was perceived as a fighter!

The most effective way to reduce Trump as a foe is undermining his narrative as a tough guy... by fighting him.

The entire Republican Party is obsessed with children’s genitals.
