Why do conservatives hate and fear the “No Kings” protests? Because they _want_ a king, obviously. Oh, not in name, no, but in practice? Absolutely. They want a rigidly hierarchical society, because even if they aren’t individually at the top, they expect to have power over _someone_.

Here’s a handy checklist, for everyone worried about Left Wing Extremism.

It’s pretty damn obvious that Trump is desperate to have some sort of “win” on the foreign policy front, in addition to wanting so damn badly to secure the Nobel. That’s why he’s trying to “solve” Gaza. That, and he’s hoping it will save the midterms for him. The backlash is coming. He’s scared.

So the Republicans - who currently control all three branches of government - cannot govern, and we are to believe it is, somehow, the fault of the Democrats. The next Republican who whines about ‘personal responsibility,’ is getting a big mug of stfu juice. Incompetent fascist clown shoes.

Michigan’s pending legislation HB4938 is nothing less than a deliberate attempt to erase trans people from the internet. Why else include language that expressly forbids trans people from presenting ourselves? From discussing our experiences? This how genocide begins. With silencing.

When Republicans object to being called Nazis, ask them why they are trying to exterminate trans people. I repeat, it didn’t begin with gas chambers and mass graves. It began with dehumanization and erasure. Then deportations. Then “labor camps”. The genocide was where it ended.

I’ve decided that when Trump’s Gestapo turn up in my neighborhood, I’m going out in a blaze of glory. Complete 80’s action movie nonsense.

Please remember that it didn’t start with gas, ovens, and mass graves. The gates of Auschwitz read, “Arbeit Macht Frei.” It was a “labor camp.” “Work makes you free.” They said they wanted to eliminate us. That’s what they’re doing.

I see Trump is still suffering from the ego burn he got in Portland. Now he’s decided to deploy troops, since having his secret police black bag citizens off the street didn’t prove sufficiently intimidating. This is what fascism looks like, folks. Fight, or get used to being slaves.

A comment I posted, to a YouTube short I encountered, basically wondering about the way the regime is gutting STEM. Link: youtu.be/EW0TeVcOd6w?...

I was immediately suspicious when I first heard the phrase “dynamic pricing,” with the pathetically thin excuse that it would save customers money. Here we have the _actual_ motivation. Surveillance pricing; companies using our data to _increase_ prices based on guesses about income.

Just checking in. Who else didn’t get raptured? Do we have a plan for filling the jobs no longer occupied by the chosen faithful of Abraham’s god? I mean we know Hollywood is fine, but, like, could I replace Mike Johnson?

For the record, declaring that anti fascism is terrorism, makes it very clear that you’re a fascist. #antifa #trump

So MTG is proposing to break up the Union again. It makes me nauseous, but I find myself agreeing. You can’t force two completely opposed groups (fascists and humans) to remain in community. So, allow me to make a proposal.

@fernlove.bond Little present for ya. ;)

Pretty sure that “trans by association” is at least as dodgey as “guilt by association,” and it’s genuinely impressive that this dipstick managed to tick both boxes in a single, magnificently thick-headed statement.

So, just to be clear, the guy who shot Charlie Kirk was a MAGA chud, from a family of MAGA chuds. A family of white, Trump-humping Christians from Utah. Not black. Not trans. Not socialist. Not a heathen, heretic, or atheist. The call is coming from inside the house.

Ah, yes, the best and brightest of the MAGA Regime have finally released the completely unique identifiers of the man who put Charlie Kirk out of our misery. A black shirt with a flag and eagle on it, and a black cap with a triangle. Fortunately for everyone, nobody has ever changed their clothes.

Mike Johnson: I don’t know what words mean…

So Trump wants to turn off the internet, now, because he’s upset that people won’t stop highlighting his friendship and collaboration with fellow sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. Among other things.

So, just to be clear…the Second Amendment is _inviolate_…unless you’re part of a minority group. We all see how pathetically obvious and hypocritical this is, right?

I love it. There is no Epstein List! But if there, Trump isn’t on it! But if he is he didn’t know anything! But if he did, he was a snitch! …Jesus H. Fucking Christ, these absolute fucking clown shoes…

As a proponent of desanitizing the language around violence and the military is in fact a thing a favor. Naturally, however, even when the idiot does something right, he does it wrong. “The War Department” is both accurate and historical, and right there. He had to make effort to fuck that up.

So, since Florida has decided to end vaccination requirements for public schools, I’m gonna advise everyone to be extra careful about who your kids are exposed to. Basically, we need to isolate FLA kids so they can’t be a vector for transmitting diseases, such as polio, or rabies, or typhus.

Now, this is interesting. Seems Trump is wanting to talk about the housing crisis. You know the fascists are scared when they start bothering to even mention material conditions.

It occurs to me, that if MAGA really want to get rid of Presidential term limits - which I’m not specifically opposed to - then they need to ready for the prospect of a third Obama term. And I’m not even that fond of Barry, policy-wise. But, I _would_ enjoy watching the meltdown.

I find it very odd the same people who loudly proclaim the virtue of unregulated markets also insist on describing poverty as a choice, as if individuals could control the conditions of the market around them.

“Why do people hate and keep killing CEO’s?”

@duneawakening.com You know, I love your game, but I’m probably going to stop playing, and recommend others avoid it. Every time I get an ambush encounter, the thing starts to lag and stagger, and I wind up dead. This isn’t fun. It’s just frustrating.

Democratic Party politicians are the most frustrating creatures in exists. They break quorum in Texas to fight fascism…and once they start getting traction and support from the people…they fold like a lawn chair and go back, letting the Texas fascist win. Then wonder why we hate them… 🤦🏼‍♀️

I don’t think my one should give very much weight to the political opinions of actors, on the whole. Not that they can’t be very astute. But sometimes, one comes along and you just _know_ what you’re dealing with. We knew who Chris Pratt was before he started carrying water for Trump.

“Why are so many people rejecting corporate Democrats,” ask the media outlets owned by the same oligarchs who own the Democrats.

Dear sweet angry Jesus, is Trump seriously trying to replace Seasame Street with PragerU? The children are doomed.

So the Republicans want to end women’s suffrage, bring back child labor, invade and annex sovereign nations, and eliminate the functhe functions of the Departments of Education, and Labor, respectively. Well, they said they wanted to “repeal the entire Twentieth Century.”

I wonder how long it will take those national guard troopers to find the Epstein file. That’s why Trump deployed them, right? To protect children from paedophile predators who associated with Epstein and Maxwell? Right?

So the State of Israel is just executing journalists now. I guess if nobody is reporting on their genocide of Palestinians, then it isn’t happening, right?

I don’t know why everyone is so shocked by Pete Hegseth sharing that he thinks women should have no say in anything. No vote. It’s literally what MAGA men have been saying since before there ever was a MAGA. Nazis hate democracy. They hate autonomy. They want obedient slaves.

I’m curious. Does anyone know how Venezuela is preventing Trump from publishing the unredacted Epstein files? That’s why they put a $50 million dollar boudollar bounty on his head, right? Right?

I am very sure that putting Federal grants under the direct control of Nazi political appointees will go very well for everyone.

So former ‘Superman’ actor Dean Cain has decided to join ICE, and I think I speak for everyone when I say, “When is Tump going to release the unredacted Epstein file?” Refuse to be distracted.

So, some dipshits in Arkansas have decided to set up a “whites only” reservation for themselves. …you know what? I’m down for it. Let all the little fascists move onto their own reservations. And don’t let them out. Shades of Heinlein’s “Coventry” come to mind.

The big acts of systemic jsystemic justice and equity are pretty fucking useful too, though, GDawg…

Out of curiosity, does anybody know if Tatsuya Ishida has stopped being a piece of shit yet, or not?

Let me put it in slightly different terms. Gender is not determined by biology, it is _informed_ by it. Or, in slightly broader terms, biology contributes to identity, rather than dictating it.

The notion that men “need” to protect, and have responsibility for, others…implies a right to demand helplessness in, and control over, them. This seems like the root of all these “emasculation” complaints in the man-o-sphere. “My ego is more important than your autonomy.”

So. YouTube is going to apply an “Ai” to attempt to discern the age of viewers. The only way I can think of for this to work, is for it to read the comments. Pretty sure this is how you create AM. Also, considering that most Americans can’t read or write at a 4th grade level, this likely won’t work.

I think the greatest evidence that the Internet is, in fact, a net contributor to collective liberation, is the fact that the Anglo-American, neoliberal governmental sphere is trying to kill it.
