Human rights defender Greta Thunberg: "I am not scared of Israel, I am scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity. What we are doing here is trying to show there is some humanity left. That there are still people willing to step up when all other means fail." #3E

I am curious what the members of congress think their over 1 billion they spend on security is for exactly. Is it to defend against random psychos who might kill them? Maybe I can understand that. But I get the strong sense that it is to defend themselves from the fallout of their cowardice.

We are watching a coordinated right-wing takeover of popular media and it won’t stop here. archive.today/bXzZd

Forgetting the constitution though, every single country has a variation of this. In every country everywhere, it is illegal for someone to overthrow a government. And it is also the obligation of leaders to not allow illegal behavior, especially when it might lead to the end of the country itself.

It should be worth stating that to normalize this is an egregious violation of all these politicians' oath of office. They have a legal obligation to defend the constitution when it is under threat. It is the price of the privileges of power. Yet they failed to do so when it mattered.

Sure, there were some half hearted attempts to charge Trump for his offenses from January 6th (his financial backers and closest political allies were considered off limits). But not a single member of congress even questioned whether a treasonous insurrectionist should be on the ballot.

People fixate way too much on elections themselves. It's all the things that have to happen to get to the point what choices are being presented. America is not fascist because Trump won the 2024 election, it is fascist because fascism was considered legal and legitimate.

When your country's election is an existential battle over whether the country is fascist or not, then you are already in the bad place. Such an election means the government has already normalized fascism to the point it is considered a normal choice.

nobody tell him

Tesla is a fundamentally irresponsible company that consistently makes decisions which endanger their customers and those in their test facilities. Wait, I'm being told that's me because their "test facilities" are public roads. If you're supporting this madness, you're part of the problem.

this is undisputed GOAT territory

I’ll tell you this EVERY time I try to upload a story about #fascism, #genoxide @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social , @aoc.bsky.social , @moreperfectunion.bsky.social @kenklippenstein.bsky.social etc on #Instagram, will NOT post. Used to be now & then, it’s always now We’re being fucked with constantly

Pressure is swelling against Israel and its genocidal campaign because of constant action from progressives, despite Republicans and Centrist Democrats working in union to stop change.

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

social media might cause actual human extinction, but it also allowed us to sell a literal mountain range of dropshipped garbage, so it's impossible to say if it's good or not,

“A common thread through so many of these violent ICE confrontations is how the agents so often appear on the verge of a nervous breakdown or actively in the throes of one. Emotionally unstable ppl carrying a badge and a gun and threatening ppl with impunity is a recipe for heartbreak and disaster.”

We have a white supremacist gestapo with complete immunity in our country now.

"At one point the gun falls out of one of the agents’ holsters and after scrambling to grab it, he points it at the crowd of people watching and filming his brutality." Correction: it doesn't fall out of his holster. He shoves it INTO THE WAISTBAND OF HIS PANTS and that's where it falls from.

NEW: ICE agents violently arrested a man in a busy Hyattsville, MD intersection this week, at one point brandishing guns and pointing them at bystanders. I spoke to multiple witnesses—including a local priest whose church is a sanctuary for undocumented people: www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-agents...

Cuomo could never.

Hey Mussolini’s granddaughter was actually part of Melone’s right wing party in Italy but left because she said they’re too right wing How about that

I’ve seen the bullshit that the Italians on strike for Palestine are just antisemitic (hear the same thing about Irish) No. See videos of them talking. They are AVERAGE Italian citizens. They just actually see the news. We do not. We have no major outlet that isn’t propagandizing us 20 days a day

These are the numbers when a huge majority of relatively informed Americans still only are aware of a fraction of the horrors we’ve partnered in and how the USA has smeared, ruined & brutalized citizens who saw what was happening years ago. And allowed Israel to target Americans with impunity

Fascists is probably giving them too much credit. They do the bidding of fascists which is arguably worse. "Look I totally agree with your values but I did some research and actually the best way to implement to your values is to do what fascists enjoy instead." Professional gaslighters.

"I believe in abortion but also Democrats should not care about abortion as a policy so we can win elections" "Oligarchy is a problem but every single problem I analyze, I always find that oligarchy is not actually the problem."

The success of the far right is not only measured in votes and seats but in its impact on rhetoric, policy and ideology. The fact that a (nominally) social democratic head of government with a huge majority choses to say and do this is maybe the biggest success of the far right in Europe yet.

Upon reflection, I actually think it takes more actual effort to pick the items for the order at Whole Foods, take it all out of the packaging, heat it on time and set it all up on plates than the effort it takes to ‘write’ a gen AI song

It’s an anachronism for sure but in 70s & 80s they called under 18 attractive girls ‘jailbait’. It’s in movies & songs, it’s.. weird to catch now & then When I wrote the below I thought of that word, it’s the same idea really except someone—maybe quite a few—actually should be considered for jail

Meta took photos of 15 year old schoolgirls from their sites and used them as bait profile photos for threads and fb chatbots and middle aged men were chatting them up. Of course they lied about it and a lot’s going on but that is seriously fucked up

I don’t think the president should have the power to just arbitrarily declare online that IKEA cannot do business in the United States for no particular reason other than he feels like it

Goddamn idiots gave apparently freaked out for days, threatening this company. Even after the company took down the ad In recent yrs, I often thought about seeing Indiana jones as a kid & people for real cheered when he punched/killed Nazis and…now Now my hometown is major Trump stronghold

There have literally been thousands of rightwing kidnappings, countless events of property destruction, armed menacing & a number of killings. No need for lone wolves or cells when you control the state.

Im not sure Trump has any motivation at all to meet with Schumer and Jeffries when no matter what they say in the meeting—and I truly believe they are fine with most of it (except in fundraising emails)—when there’s no doubt they’re gonna roll over and show their bellies and pass his goddamn bill

Who the fuck is deciding ‘you know what? I’m gonna join that Facebook now’ at this point? Young people? No way. Who tf is joining that isn’t already there?

This is worth its own post— AI gen baking soda/sugar lyme secret for erections/size. THESE are crazy. Scripts always involve a Boston doctor, stepson (or 28yr old neighbor) (!!) & husband. Algorithms are revealing for your browsing history, but step porn 100% not my thing Also very racist ending

Usual YouTube ads : Right wing propaganda Sandy hook promise Various old man demo ad, sore feet, bunions. I do not have these yet. Sandy hook promise Some cure involving baking soda to keep me from having to have a limb amputated Right wing propaganda

Hoping if we ever have a competent new gov’t (whole lot of ifs there), they make death threats illegal because they apparently are fucking not I had a decent Twitter following in 1st account & Salman Rushdie rt’d my joke* & I got them. One credible enough that Twitter reported guy to his local PD

National Media:

This is nearly a decade old and exactly why we should question and criticize Democrats who won't endorse their own nominees. When Jeffries, Schumer and others refuse to endorse Zohran Mamdani, it's a red flag. It is predictive. A flashing indicator. They represent a danger and shouldn't be trusted.

So are the fascists actively happy that the press is not covering that they have declared war on the United States? I would honestly be a bit annoyed myself though I guess its good to keep the populace thinking this is all normal while they mobilize to slaughter them.

You know how fascism requires a smaller and smaller ingroup as it develops? Well so does neoliberalism. Palestinians, trans people, disabled people...they become acceptable losses who must be sacrificed to "save democracy." The only way to defeat fascism is to leave no one behind.

I feel like videos of agents beating the fuck out of pregnant women, smashing car windows w/terrified kids inside, bashing heads and pointing loaded weapons at citizens heads and telling them they’ll blow their fucking heads off would have done it but turns out it’s those damn ICE SUPPORTING Dems

This is assault

it's really disgusting that the same liberals who cheered the authoritarian assaults on protests under biden are complaining about the ice assaults under trump
