Defund and prosecute members of ICE should be any party platform in 2026 and 2028. No more β€œlooking forward.” We should look at what has happened and say β€œnever again” and hold those accountable.

β€œSome of those that work forces, are the same who burn crosses.”

May ICE rot and burn.

Something Dan Olsen mentioned in his β€œThe Future is a Dead Mall” kind of vibes with this. That making something a reality means it can’t just be selling the future, or something like that.

Microsoft is failing cause they’re actually trying to USE AI and not just talk about it in abstract.

What the Heritage Foundation is trying to do with their bullshit TIVE designation is trans genocide. They want to end our Right to Exist by labeling a protected class of people from speaking out against their fascism and hate. Death before detransition.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:
He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group.

There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi.

He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism.

Antifa isn’t an organization. Its is literally being anti-fascist. I am antifa. Most of this country is. Labeling them as a terrorist group is literally fascism and what antifa is for

Liberals are doing the right’s job for it.

By lionizing Charlie Kirk and refusing to acknowledge his real political project, they’re giving power to the right’s completely predictable effort to use his death to forward their goal of an authoritarian, fascist state.

Anyway, I'm just over here muttering "please don't be a trans person, please don't be a trans person, please don't be a trans person" about the news.

I wish the right wing had not been given a brand new martyr to venerate at this moment in time, but other than that, I feel absolutely nothing for his death.

A violent life came to a violent end. If it had happened to someone else, Kirk would have celebrated it.

Trans people: we would like to participate in society.

Anti-trans activists: trans people should not exist.

Politico: both sides are extreme!

Judith Butler, philosopher: β€˜If you sacrifice a minority like trans people, you are operating within a fascist logic’ A leading figure in feminism and gender studies, the thinker welcomes EL PAÍS in California after being voted one of the most influential minds in the world

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

Abandoning trans people is 'fascist logic', says leading feminist philosopher Leading feminist philosopher Judith Butler has declared that abandoning trans people or any minority is operating within 'fascist logic'.

β€œOnce you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. β€œThat means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”
