An illustration that says frogs against fascism. A person in a frog costume (reminiscent of the photo that looked like this scene from Portland recently) standing in front of a group of militarized and masked officers. A word bubble says Fuck ICE.

Fuck ICE, today and every day.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

You can calmly debate the fascist. Carefully take apart every argument of his and provide evidence for each claim youโ€™re making.

He will still turn around and order your execution. Fascism isnโ€™t a rational force, itโ€™s a tool of class warfare. You donโ€™t argue with the knife.

The occupation of Iraq was justified through same rhetoric we hear now about Iran: weapons of mass destruction, saving women & queers, clash of civilizations etc

the task of anti-imperialist left is not to litigate the veracity of these allegations, but to refuse racist premise for imperialist war

Just a reminder that Orwellโ€™s protagonist in 1984, Winston Groom, works as a copy editor, except that his job entails endlessly โ€œcorrecting the dataโ€ so that the archival record conforms to the Partyโ€™s preferred fictions, and what is โ€œknownโ€ becomes a principal instrument of conformity.

I was imagining today what the world would be like if there were no borders at all. If hoarding wealth was so looked down upon that no one even thought of it. If those who were able took care of those who were not. If all the good things we imagine we want for ourselves, we made sure everyone had.

An act of war weeks in planning but unauthorized by Congress against a country that Trump's own director of intelligence testified under oath was not close to getting a nuclear weapon.

This is fascism Fascism starts with talk, not tanks. With democratic elections, not a coup. And it takes hold thanks to people who think things wonโ€™t move quicklyโ€”until they do just that.

The United States, that "beacon of democracy", has intervened in 128 elections since 1946 to shape political outcomes in their own interests.

I cannot emphasize this enough, an Israel-Western regime change operation against Iran would lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths. We have seen this play out before, several times in the past decades. Anyone who tries to justify this madness will have blood on their hands.

Israel is the spear-tip of Western imperialism in the region, and Netanyahu is now openly calling for assassination and regime change in Iran. They want to destroy the country to extend their hegemony. These people are murderous monsters, all of them.

Just a reminder that the West destroyed Iranโ€™s progressive democracy in 1953, deposing a leader beloved of the people, and installed a dictatorship in his place. The US and UK have been terrorising that country for as long as any of us have been alive. Itโ€™s sick.

It is absolutely appalling what is happening in the US right now. Shoving kids and their mom into a tiny box like cargo. there is just so much about this that is fucked up.

White South Africans granted asylum by Trump administration board flight to U.S. South Africaโ€™s government has denied that the Afrikaners are legitimate refugees, accusing Donald Trump of launching a politically motivated scheme

This is so unbelievably absurd, unjust and divorced from reality. All of which is precisely why it is happening in DT's America.

White South Africans are the only refugees being allowed into the United States at this time. Fast tracked at that.
