"Fascism talks ideology, but it is really just marketing - marketing for power" - Toni Morrison

So, we are just skipping the evidence and throwing out the null hypothesis anyway? Gold standard science, indeed

I just got my covid and flu shots. At the same time. Fuck you, RFK jr

So, there's a 100 year+ black anti-fascist tradition... And the current regime is anti-anti-fascist... DO TELL www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2223-t...

It's me: i set up chairs and brought snacks for the antifa general meeting once

Can't wait for the stupid day when the regime creates a strawman "antifa" organization so that they can make a spectacular bust No doubt they'll find a laptop or something with all the membership, including, conveniently, a lot of Democratic politicians

There's one building in Portland putting plywood on its windows: the ICE building

Papers Please the full contact musical

Those who maintain that "X is a distraction from Y" don't understand totalitarianism

"Antifascism is a reactive response to fascism, and those who organize under the banner of antifascism are committed to dismantling fascist regimes with the goal of creating a more democratic, equitable, and just political system" - Janelle Hope & Bill Mullen

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

This begs the question: how many large ICE raids are essentially "swating"? Like the Hyundai factory in Georgia, for instance, and possibly this

It took 164 years, but the Confederacy finally overthrew the US government

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

It's always about what's not said: "a perfect democracy (for the rich)"

I will definitely be doing more versions of my cyberfascism keynote, mostly because I want more opportunities to get on stage and yell, "Less complying in advance and more 'Fuck you, make me!'"

"Populist billionaire" is a contradiction in terms

"When one 'offends' the totalitarian state, it is patently not an offense against the people of that state, but an assault upon the privilege of the privileged few" - George Jackson

What are the odds that the Republicans won't ever end the government shutdown, that they just designate a subset of functions as "essential" and never come back to the rest You know the Supremes will allow it

Post Office Delays Could Result in Uncounted Ballots; Harrell's Budget Boosts Graffiti Spending 36 Percent Today's Afternoon Fizz: publicola.com/2025/10/03/p...

Ok, ICE, DOJ, et al.: how about you stop doing fascist shit and we'll stop calling you fascists, deal?

Fascist shit

It's a short step from "we gotta get rid of illegals so we can save money" to "we gotta get rid of homeless, poor, uninsured, etc. so we can save money" Just the kind of eugenics that Jesus preached

Billionaires... Imagine all the good they could do with that wealth and power... Keep imagining, because they won't. Extreme wealth is psychosis

The Constitution is a piece of paper with some writing on it somewhere in Washington DC... that's it If the government doesn't abide by what's written on it, it effectively doesn't exist

Johnson is pulling a McConnell - a dress rehearsal for refusing to accept the results of the midterms

Don't worry about the kid who got chased off - he's got a bright career in the right wing griftosphere coming up having been persecuted for his protected hate speech

Wow, the University of Washington's Psych 201 class does *not* play go fuckin Huskies Nazi UW students fuck off

They call it a "shutdown" but it's not all shut down - the "security" apparatus is still going, as is anything the oligarchs deem "essential" It's all the parts that work for the people that are shut down The whole thing is broke

The Generals meeting wasn't for the Generals... It was a dominance spectacle aimed at MAGA to communicate that changes are coming to the military, typically an organization seen by conservative types as sacrosanct Purges will be the next step

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95% So technically, yeah.

Dick slap dominance photo op, turns out

The Ukrainian military—the toughest, most experienced, most adaptable, most successful on the modern battlefield—is beardy old men, women, artists, gamers who can’t deadlift sh*t but can fly a drone into a Russian helicopter rotor Focusing on capabilities, not “looks,” is how you achieve victory

Oh yeah, that was DEFINITELY his platoon's motto - sounds real great when shouted out at the end of formation HAVE ANOTHER SHOT, PETE

Imagine the unbridled joy of having achieved the rank of General, only to be forced to sit down and listen to a white supremacist Fox News personality berate you for doing it wrong

Are you a PNW voter who usually returns your ballot via U.S. Mail? Switch to a drop box to ensure it counts this year! Do not return your ballot through the United States Postal Service -- there's a real risk it won't receive a timely postmark.

coming back to this, what are we even doing with this funding bill negotiation or indeed any budget at all?

So, you agree: fascism should be treated harshly?

Proposal for the largest public urinal in the world

If given an illegal order, here is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. 1-877-447-4487. Service members are subject to prosecution for following illegal orders.

I encourage all the media outlets who are about to send people to ”war ravaged” Portland to think twice. Some of the strongest extremism reporters in the country live in this region; journalists who understand the culture of the Northwest and the history of activism here. Do it right this time okay?

US soldiers, take note

In light of current events, I move to repeal Godwin's Law

Ah, yes... I passed through the warzone of Portland, Oregon this Summer on the way to the coast Brunched with the family before thrifting and hitting Powell's. Wife got some plants and i picked up a book Total hellscape 🙄

The most benign option here is that it's some kind of right wing dick slap dominance photo op for Hegseth's future presidential run Worst Case? I dunno... They all get told they are fired and replaced with Fox News correspondents? (I know, i can think of worse things too)

The great thing about people who actually use data is that they give you the information needed to challenge their framing. Which in this case should be “Sudden drop in right wing terrorism, due to satisfaction of extremist goals,” with quotes from Enrique Tarrio to that effect. #CSIS #Byman

When you listen to ANY mainstream media, you must listen with a propaganda filter. It’s quite easy to develop if you practice. Whatever you hear, just know it’s crafted for our ears & minds. When you listen to anyone in the Regime, everything is lies except for any threats. Those you can count on.

The US Constitution no longer has any effect, therefore the United States no longer exists We are all just fumbling with that concept in one way or another

It's not really about immigration or crime, I.C.E. is simply a white supremacist secret police force - gestapo, if you will

I'd like to say a hearty "ffokc uf" to all fascists
