Killer Cyborg

If you haven't thought of it already, you might look into Doctor Who, because the Daleks are a pretty clear Nazi parallel.

Nice!

I mostly remember the series as being anti-fascist, but yeah, I do now remember those other elements coming in.
Shame they muddled it, because the first part was pretty awesome.

Uh.. no.
It's a metaphor about Reaganites specifically, and how people sell out their countrymen for profit ("it's just business"), as well as a metaphor for how we're brainwashed by marketing and capitalist society.
One of the biggest fans of the film I knew back in the day was a Marxist.

What happened in The Final Battle?
I haven't seen it in quite a while.

The important thing is that it identifies the enemy, and the nature of the war.

Imagine being mad you didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize while you’re busy stirring up Civil War in your own country.

WGN-TV producer detained during ICE enforcement action in Lincoln Square A WGN-TV video editor and producer was roughly detained by two Border Patrol agents on Friday morning during a highly visible rush hour enforcement action in Lincoln Square.

It's a semi-autonomous, convulsive response to foreign particle irritating our nasal passages.

Sex workers were canaries in the coal mine when it came to pushing the boundaries of censorship & bad laws. We've been saying it for decades - when they come for me today, you're next! & now you are here

What was your reaction to the video like?
🤔

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

Pope Leo blasts economy that marginalizes poor while wealthy live in bubble of luxury Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

Bored National Guard Goes Door To Door Asking If Chicagoans Have Any Order They Need Restored https://theonion.com/bored-national-guard-goes-door-to-door-asking-if-chicagoans-have-any-order-they-need-restored/

Whether you're a Democrat or Republican, you probably privately agree on this much:

Trump and his lawyers—Bondi and Patel—are ACTING like the Epstein Files include smoking-gun evidence of Trump raping kids.

They are ACTING like a domestic military escalation is worth distracting us from the Files.

Unlike Possums, Racoons fight back!🦝

GOV. PRITZKER: “This is a convicted felon threatening to jail me? He’s an unhinged, insecure wannabe dictator. Come and get me.”

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

BREAKING: Federal judge officially found ICE violated people’s rights during raids in Chicago, conducted unlawful arrests.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

YouTube video by MSNBC John Fugelsang: Right-wing Christians use the Bible ‘as a prop’ & ignore Jesus’ message

"Spiritual people use religion to become better people; fundamentalists use religion to prove they're better than you."

I present to you, a Shoghoth…

Pritzker: "I think it's important to recognize that the Trump administration does not seem to respect any laws in the United States. They just do what they want to do and they'll keep doing it unless someone stops them. Here in Illinois we're stopping them."

there is a government shutdown with no end in sight and it’s not even really the lead story rn because the president can’t stop invading American cities for no reason other than spite

“Plenary authority” means “absolute unqualified authority.” You won’t find that in our constitution. It’s an attribute of emperors, kings, dictators, “the Fuhrer,” etc. (Perhaps John Roberts can find it in the constitution with his special X-ray glasses.)

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Banning psychics won't do anything.

If you don't want people to be scammed, we need to educate people better in the first place, making them less gullible.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"
