You must vote. You must vote for the Democrat against Trump. There is no other remotely morally acceptable position. I’m sorry if this simple truth gets you yelled at but it’s still true

They crush the local economy, deplete city budgets, illegally withhold congressionally allocated funds. In exchange we get masked Texans running wild in the streets, paid for with tax money that was supposed to be used on our healthcare. Thank you to our federal partners.

step 1: ban apartments

step 2: now everyone can afford to live in a spacious single family home with a yard and a garage close to school, work, and amenities

step 3: utopia :D

let’s not forget: there is NO FUCKING REASON for them to be there. there was no crisis, no incident, no event. just a barely-literate youtuber making up racist shit about Somalis

one of the key motions of protest is that it places the adversary in zugzwang: either they abide the protest, and look weak, or attack the protest, and look cruel

You will not beat the cops - or ICE - in a street fight, but you can bait them into revealing the authoritarian petty tyrants they are, undermining their legitimacy and - eventually - reducing their capacity for force (because no one will join, pay or supply them).

That's how you win.

The current Democratic coalition is every single person who has any idea how society works, any interest in maintaining it, or any scraps of empathy for their fellow human beings, and that's about 47% of the country, tops.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Minneapolis is going to win. Can’t you feel it?

They have no support, even the most timid equivocators are quietly shuffling out the back door. All they have is guns. They can hurt us and they can threaten us but there is no road to victory for them.

It’s a quagmire and they’re suffocating in it

A thread of MAGA protesting with guns and not getting murdered for it...

Arizona, November 2020

If the government is wondering why thousands of people tail ICE and film them it's because you have a propensity to lie!

If they are doing this to white people in broad daylight imagine what they are doing to non-white people in detention facilities.

yeah the very grim truth of nonviolence is that the two primary things it does are “demonstrate that violence will not move the opposition, that they can brutalize us and we will not abandon our cause” and “garner wider sympathy via being brutalized by the state”

If the US were a geopolitical rival the headlines would be like: US Secret Police Execute Second Dissident In the Streets As Militarized Occupation Enters Sixth Week

Trials for every ICE member.

Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win

If you’re not from here, I need to explain this execution was on Eat Street, a commercial corridor of restaurants and coffee shops that literally everyone goes to. Normies, queermos, weirdos, neighborhood folks. Whatever that place is in your city, imagine ICE executing someone in cold blood there.

"this is not who we are" is 90% of the time a normative statement of aspiration, it's not an empirical claim of "these events have never taken place in this country before". one of the most obnoxious genres of "actually..." is reacting like it's the latter when it's clearly the former.

I've said this before, but "america was always fascist" is simply not an effective messaging strategy for fighting an american fascist movement. you should not cede them control of the national identity! that's what they want!

school being canceled because the president sent armed thugs to harass and imprison the populace for voting against him should be the biggest domestic scandal in american history

I feel comfortable sharing with you guys that

*whispers*

Beef should be more expensive because the price includes a unfathomable amount of environmental damage

Every year around tax season I'll admit I get a bit pissy in the vein of "Nicolas, 30 ans" because a lot of my tax money goes to the boomer gerontocracy.

Training* for ICE is a good idea

*vocational training so they can perform honest work when they get out of prison

The president is a mad king threatening war against America’s closest allies because he’s got a psychological fixation on an empty frozen island and a Nobel Peace Prize snub and the best the media or opposition can manage is “Trump changes America’s priorities, perhaps for the worse”

Also, please note: they tried very hard to be scary, kept saying “this is where you live, go home” over the loudspeaker. But when you continue to follow them, they don’t arrest you, they run. Their tactics are based in fear and bullying, not any true legal authority.

"No ICE Gestapo" at a pizza place.

Also, if anyone doubts where the actual, real, normal people stand, this should make it obvious.

BBC headline reads: "Trump vows extra tariffs for UK, Denmark and other European countries until Greenland deal struck"

there will prob be a global boycott of US goods by the end of his term

alright here you go

neolithic guys get pissed if you tell them their cultures are organized by the type of pots and jewelry they made. "we called ourselves the blood hunters" "we conquered villages far beyond this horizon" sorry bud you're the western linear pottery culture now

Koh: Trump has now spent $30 billion from the last bill for 10,000 more I.C.E. Agents that are going to be on the streets. That $30 billion would cover all the ACA subsidies for a year. It would eliminate all co-pays for prescription drugs for people from a year, and eliminate all medical debt.
