I agree. We need to start appropriately identifying these as extrajudicial killings and murders by agents for the state.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

Has my TL seen this? Seems wild.

Can’t wait for economy to be propped up by…fake videos and illegal mass surveillance.

So the deputy attorney general at doj is now claiming “an act of war” by a specific gang in Chicago. That is very specific language and it is intentionally being used to justify the next actions they will take in the invasion of Chicago and the descent into open police state violence.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

Unfortunate update: Link reached out to BlueSky and got email back now on reason. His appeal is denied. He will remain permanently banned on BlueSky’s side. Here are the screenshots he just sent me as of 8:22 AM EST(my time)

Oregon Republicans know they can't use an image of the actual (small, tame) protest in Portland to illustrate Trump's fever dream and their fake intel, so they had to make one from stock photos of South American "Policia" leaning on riot shields + what looks like Brazilian football fans with flares

It's bleakly funny about how the GOP was able to form a multi-racial reactionary coalition largerly through the sheer power of anti-black racism in this country (and exploiting intra-Hispanic racism too), only to go "wait, we actually hate Hispanics too" at every opportunity

one fascinating thing about contemporary America is that the version of authoritarianism it has is pretty diverse

On one hand there is a masked militarized police force that is conducting night raids, but on the other hand:

Wizards of the Coast is hosting a Twitch stream to support Trans Lifeline, a hotline and non-profit organization offering direct support to trans people in crisis – for the trans community, by the trans community. Tune in to twitch.tv/magic on Oct 4th at 10am PT to play games with us and support!

The social reproduction of fascism in place of democracy is accelerating at light speed as schools push into overt indoctrination

Ah yes, the idyllic life of living in a town where older men have a secret sex ring where they abuse young women without consequences

Genuine question: what happens when the AI bubble doesn’t burst because it’s fully subsidized by the us govt?

ICE is buying a location tracking tool that harvests data from hundreds of millions of phones a day. Protect your location data by updating a few settings on your phone 🧵 (1/4): www.404media.co/ice-to-buy-...

It's wild watching MAGA dudes go through the 14 points of fascism and be like "I mean yeah this quality is Trump, but like we all want that" lol Dude's full on fasc and don't even know it.

Ohio’s new age verification law targeting porn goes into effect today, which means people will either have to use a VPN or submit their IDs to use Bluesky. This is Project 2025 in action. The goal is to limit freedom and make it harder to access anything remotely progressive

In 1945, the Allies faced a tricky question: where to hold Nazi war criminals until the trials. A run-down hotel in Luxembourg was quickly converted to a prison ("Camp Ashcan"). The hope was to keep the nature of the prisoners secret. In May 1945, this failed, and almost turned into a disaster. /1

Spent the last decade reading conservative blogs use the word "Orwellian" more than they used the word "the" and now they're literally just saying "War is Peace" out loud in front of everybody.

At event in DC, Sen. Chris Van Hollen keeps it going with Hakeem Jeffries over not endorsing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social: if you can’t back the kind of campaign he ran, “don’t ask those young people to show up for other Democrats across the country — that’s the message that will be sent.”

So anyways, what’s happening on the “split screen” of this video? Fox News will literally just sit there and gaslight you. WHILE THEY TELL YOU OTHER PEOPLE ARE DOING IT. How could someone watch this clip that they play over and over and think that ICE are the good guys?!?

A victim of the shooting at the ICE facility is UNCONSCIOUS, in critical care, may not survive, his wife is about to give birth, and ICE IS KEEPING HIM SHACKLED TO HIS HOSPITAL BED: I just unlocked a new level of rage. www.npr.org/2025/09/27/n...

The only core American desire is to want to be a baby again

One note about this: This person is being chased because he’s brown, appears to work in delivery, and is going about his day in a specific part of town. Not wanting to be seized when faced with imminent indignity and carceral violence is a human response, not one limited to immigrants.

Video below: “I am American. I am American.” A man pleads, “Ayúdame, ayúdame. Help me!” Meanwhile, an ICE officer pulls a gun on innocent bystanders — in Hyattsville, MD. This is happening in America. Right now. What are we doing about this? It MUST stop. @SenateDems @HouseDemocrats

PUT IT IN THE HEADLINE!!!! HE RESIGNED BECAUSE HE HAD PORN ON IN HIS OFFICE.

FOR HAVING PORN PLAYING IN HIS OFFICE AFTER ATTACKING TRANS CHILDREN FOR 2(???) YEARS.

There's a new museum near the White House extolling the "American Dream." It features holographic "ambassadors" you can talk with about fin empowerment, entrepreneurship, health, and edu. It's also funded by Michael Milken (1980s junk bond king extraordinaire). This timeline cannot be serious.

meanwhile on the handbasket:

I’d seen the nutty excerpts of Miller’s speech at Kirk’s memorial, but hadn’t seen the whole thing. It’s easily the most unhinged, unapologetically fascist rhetoric I’ve ever seen from someone in US government. It’s more of a discount, Dwight Schrute Goebbels than Goebbels. But still.

imagine being one of the losers at these networks who keeps caving to his demands and then he's literally like "lol last time I shook 'em down they licked my boots for a week, let's see what else I can get them to do" like aren't you. embarrassed. at all

Do you understand that a huge portion of the wellness podcaster and influencer community is now going to be paid to push folic acid as a treatment for autism despite no actual evidence for it. This is a windfall for the supplements industry. It's all a grift.

how did they get this intel

the hysteria has gone off the rails so far that the average american thinks 1 in 5 people are transgender. pure absolute insanity that is driving the current lavender scare

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Why would the DOJ scrub the fact that right-wing extremism is the #1 domestic terror threat in America? Why not acknowledge and confront it? Also why haven't they released the Epstein Files? Also why did Ghislaine Maxwell get a sweetheart deal transfer? These problems won't go away.

Happy 5th birthday to the official theme for Spirit Halloween

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

They did NOT “back down” from Chicago. The people of Chicago, just like the people of Los Angeles and Washington DC, are going through hell right now. Please, I beg you, “Tell no lies. Claim no easy victories.” cc: @unraveledpress.com

How the fuck do you even counter this? Nazis and fascists have “civil debates” with people all the fucking time.

Just for the record, when an open nazi murdered someone these motherfuckers were ADDICTED to saying the words “free speech.”

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer. The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial. Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

Trump: everyone in the US died from drugs last week Reporter: [nods] Trump: so we must murder on the high seas Reporter: [nods] Trump: I caught Trix rabbit once Reporter: [nods] Trump: the cock on that bunny Reporter: [nods] Trump: bigger than you think Headline: Trump Policy Seeks To Save Lives

Okay so there’s a note that has apparently only been summarized by kash patel? But no? There’s a reconstruction of a note? No? It was a discord message?
