i hate fascists i hate pro-fascist propagandists i hate fascist apologists i hate fascist appeasers i hate apologists for fascist appeasers i hate how much hate i have in my heart

Thinking of a few Malcolm x speeches as they tell people getting kidnapped in the streets by masked thugs to ‘remain calm’

“The Road to Unfreedom” is a good book in a lot of regards but one of my favorite bits is “oh my Goddddd none of you people know what a coup d’état is” This is a subtweet of some people

This country’s problem is fundamentally one of dudes who think they’re owed everything and will fuck up whatever is on front of them to fulfill fantasies of deserved power

In Minneapolis

It's so funny how they even explicitly say that the Antichrist will pretend to be a Christian but when faced with that exact situation they're all like "oh yeah this monstrous tyrannical rapist is the good guy"

American law enforcement‘s message is “treat us like we’re in the first picture or we’ll put you in the second picture”

The paradox of tolerance is something we all need to understand, immediately.

the most important thing in 2028 is electing someone who is a true believer in the project of dismantling right-wing power. if you don't get that, then nothing else will matter very much.

a general strike would require planning, solidarity, community-building and mutual aid, all things which people seem to be allergic to

I told you all.

Hemmingway's assessment in For Whom the Bell Tolls that "there are fascists and those who don't know they are fascists" rings true.

it really seems like his vision here is a war conducted almost entirely by small SF units who he thinks can sufficiently secure the country that's wildly different from kidnapping a guy. And exactly the kind of work SF are, historically, bad at

I want to see my political opponents destroyed politically. Many of the leaders deserve prison. Some deserve worse even if our system doesn't allow for it.

Anyway, I will just reiterate: If it should come to pass that America commits the ultimate perfidy, then it is the duty of every patriotic American to undertake every active and passive measure to frustrate the American war effort, and to assist NATO forces in whatever capacity they require

I didn't think being an American and fighting against tyranny side by side with Europeans would mean doing so as a partisan

soldiers are mostly young people who want to do something else with most of their life. They generally don't want to live the rest of their lives with the knowledge that they executed an unarmed mom cops want to spend thirty years with the nickname "killer"

Civilians in combat zones become combatants in combat zones when you murder their family.

there is no positive route forward for the United States without mass arrests and trials for DHS employees

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Yet another reason Newsom is a nonstarter. And a hypocrite, tbh given his troll posture the other 23 hours of the day when he isn’t spouting this ripe garbage. The “breach” is not of decorum, but of whole communities and families destroyed, lives lost. No, I don’t think we’ll be “turning the page”

I would never accuse the Iraqi Army of being well trained or using a lot of restraint. And yet in Mosul I came to expect more discretion from the average Iraqi soldier than U.S. cops who have never taken incoming fire.

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

JD Vance: "I like the child porn generator."

Never escaping the adage "men are afraid that women are laughing at them; women are afraid that men will kill them"

The Trump era, and especially Trump 2, has made it crystal clear that the mainstream media is a completely amoral institution. The Fourth Estate does not care about the nation's well-being at all--doesn't even care about being able to report interesting things! It just cares about access.

the right doesn't worship god the way we understand the concept, they worship basically a pagan deity of violence and money

Renee Nicole Good was not the first person to be murdered by ICE under Trump. Keith Porter was a Black man killed by ICE on New Years Eve. Silverio Gonzalez was an undocumented immigrant killed in Franklin Park. Marimar Martinez was shot 5 times in Chicago & survived. No one is safe.

Something a lot of people refuse to internalize in this country is that cops (at all levels) are almost always rightwing in ideology.

Another image that sums up the protest.

Look for the helpers. Faced with evil, watch for the decent people standing against it.

Trumpists will be giving the ICE murderer awards and recognitions and honors. That’s because (1) killing someone who thinks differently than they do is their fantasy (2) most of them are too spineless to do it but (3) by praising the murderer they can murder in a fantasy-league way

American conservatives will look you right in the eye with a straight face and tell you that complete and utter subservience to masked federal police is patriotism, anything else deserves being executed in the street, and tax dollars for healthcare is tyranny.

“The name for the group of U.S. citizens who more or less would like to be permitted to murder their fellow citizens with (among other things) their cars is ‘Republican.’” www.the-reframe.com/americans-wh...

Half the country is turning against Republicans and the right's response appears to include putting caps on alimony payments.

Evergreen: The first thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.

If you are a Republican who isn’t a Nazi, actually yes, you are a Nazi. Republicans are Nazis.

Once again

Andor is better at getting the average American out in the street than Marx or Lenin and it pisses off the dumbest people imaginable.

The murderer’s name is Jonathan Ross. www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

I’m at least confident that the vast majority of repulsive white supremacists constantly bitching about declining birth rates will never have sex in their lifetimes.

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

don’t really know how much clearer they can be about the fact that they want to murder everyone who disagrees with them these are evil, dangerous people and need to be approached as such
