So yeah… guy seems MAGA. It’s profoundly sad. As much as I dislike these people, he had a wife and a child. Why would he throw his life and his family away? What happened to this guy?

Yes to all of this. "The individual who pulled that trigger, their motives are irrelevant... their actions served a deeply counterrevolutionary purpose." www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMFw...

This regime is pure evil. Pure fascist evil. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Well, I think I've learned my lesson from last time. We don't yet know Thomas Sanford's ideology. Big guy with a bushy beard who likes hunting and drives a truck with American flags... I mean, probably not antifa at least, right? I dunno about that pic with the Trump/Vance sign yet.

The people who believe in med beds just seem like really simple, uneducated, desperate people. They have to fantasize about alien or top secret tech because that seems more likely than capitalism ever delivering. It’s just profoundly sad.

Fortunately there's only 3 more years of rapidly escalating fascism before there's a peaceful exchange of power

You can’t really predict the ways in which it will change you. But in my experience, the change is always for the better. You might go in trying to quit smoking or something like that and end up healing a childhood trauma.

Imagine this: we have socialism and a planned economy. A new technology is invented that automates a ton including your job. No worries. You get paid to get retrained in a new field and you can keep living in your apartment cause you’re not charged to live there. All is fine.

MAGA voter who can’t pay rent watching Trump give $20 billion to Argentina

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

"wHeRe ArE aLl ThE pRo-PaLeStInE pRoTeSts NoW???" Unserious lib clowns continue to ask this question. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yx8o...

I have a family member who loves Trump, who I begged not to vote for him, who I told prices would go up, and who (OF COURSE) buys her prescription meds from Canada. I wonder if this tips the scales. Oh who am I kidding. They will find any way to absolve him.

What do people think this is? - announcement of military dictatorship? - war with China and/or Russia? - mass firings, military purge? All of the above? Is this going to be the moment that the military has to choose between the Constitution and the Orange Fuhrer? abcnews.go.com/Politics/heg...

The Real Violent Extremists Are The Freaks Who Run The US Empire Donald Trump is a violent extremist. Joe Biden is a violent extremist. Keir Starmer is a violent extremist. Benjamin Netanyahu is a violent extremist. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-real-v...

Living in fascism is a lot more ridiculous than I thought it would be. Like these people in charge are objectively silly and I resent having to take them seriously.

It’s not just fascism. It’s insanely desperate fascism. Imagine if the intended audience of these messages look a little to the right to where the billionaires are sitting and didn’t take the bait to rage against the most vulnerable members of society

No stadium memorial for these detainees. We don’t even get their names. They’re considered subhuman refuse by the good white Christian conservatives of the USA. Fucking disgusting

A lot of salty libs on this app wondering where the pro-Palestine protests are in 2025 (besides Harris' book tour). They still happen. Here and everywhere. The lie that only Biden/Harris got protested erases the rest of the world on top of being false. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_pr...

The "antifa" stuff is funny to me. I never identified as "antifa", even though I am like most people anti-fascist, because I was a Marxist and the self-proclaimed "antifas" were always anarchists. This was decades ago. Of course no one did more to stop the "fa" than the Red Army.

I had one professor who was a soc dem at best. *I* was the rabid Marxist, she would challenge me on it, lol. Otherwise they were basically libs though.

As a reconstructed Trotskyite, I have no stake in the "tankie" discourse. I thought I knew what a "tankie" was some years back - an apologist for Soviet military intervention in Eastern Europe during the Cold War. Now it seems to refer to really weird online people and includes "MAGA communists"

Bluesky is the place where 90% of the users know this is true but don't care and won't change a thing.

The GOP plan is simple: fascism, which has always appealed to people's base impulses and irrational fears. No one knows what the Democrat plan is, because they have no plan to deal with the contradictions of capitalism. www.newsweek.com/is-this-the-...

No group of people has ever been more scammed and more deserving of being scammed than Trump voters.

In the abstract, a non-imperialist and social democratic USA that completely stopped supporting Israel's genocide would make a decent global leader and I wouldn't oppose it on principle as a leftist. In reality, China will be filling that gap. We blew it with fascism. What we "want" is irrelevant.

His “I’m definitely NOT the anti-Christ” shirt should suffice to answer all of your questions

Pro tip for Internet debates. If you allude to a thing that’s pretty much common knowledge, and somebody angrily demands examples that anyone can find in 5 seconds, please know that they’re only asking for them so they can twist and distort the plain meaning of words.

This is a defeat for fascism. Its just objectively true. Savor it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

It’ll never wash off

Red state America is a sick degraded country. Corporations have free reign to poison the environment, wreck the schools, pump out endless propaganda. Fundamentalist religion reigns. Many of these people are developmentally and morally stunted and broken and that is reflected in their dear leader.

It is genuinely humiliating to see this moron address an international body on my behalf.

I cannot believe this fucking ______ is our president. Put whatever word there you like.

Me: we should proceed as if they will do everything in their power to do the worst possible things, all of which have some chance of success, and prepare accordingly. Remember - Congress will not hold him to account. SCOTUS will not hold him to account. He WILL get away with what we allow him to.

If he comes back swinging, this is a massive defeat for the fascists. I know there are a lot of people who don’t feel that way, who think this is some minor issue or distraction but it isn’t. You really have to look at this in context. Trump tried to destroy this man. He failed. That’s big.

They’re just destroying everything good. A cabal of tyrants, an army of marauding goons

I should’ve known all along that when fascism came to America all of its failures would be characterized as “socialist”. Again, fascism is capitalism cannibalizing itself. That’s not going to be pleasant for many capitalists. But it is not socialism. fortune.com/2025/09/21/b...

Hell yes. This guy gets better with every step.

We have every right to say that the rule of law is dead. We have every right to have our words match the reality we see. This does not mean to give up or don’t fight. But I will not be gaslit, even by well meaning people. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

What is good in liberalism requires a socialist foundation. We see this in how the courts have interpreted the right to counsel - for a long time, if you could not afford a lawyer, you could not have due process. The policy of every person having the option of a state funded lawyer is socialism.

When Zohran wins for NYC mayor, the right is going to explode. Everything we see building up today at the Kirk hate rally will be unleashed. The essence of fascism is anti-communism, and in their minds Zohran is a communist. We have to be ready.

I see so many posts by people who don’t understand the Charlie Kirk memorial. Why everyone is so worked up about a podcaster. If it were a talk radio host in the 1990s, this would not be happening. We are a society teetering on the edge. We are soaked in gasoline and it takes very little to ignite.

Hearing about the insanity of the Kirk memorial service, I try to remember that there are billions of people in this world, outside of the United States who - along with at least half of us within the US - look at all of this as a carnival of madness. We're not alone. They are.

Yet another way to divide and distract the American working class. Don’t look at the billionaires plundering society and making everybody’s lives miserable. Blame literal, actual witches. It’s sad to me that powerless people will embrace this crap in order to feel an illusion of safety and control

This is an insane fundamentalist death cult. These people are sick beyond all help.

“He said to me on the 23rd and 24th of September 2025, I will come back” I guess he hadn’t quite nailed it down yet. www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/...

What a sad, ridiculous and pathetic old man. I honestly believe that the name “Schumer” will occupy the same place in history as Chamberlain.

Can we imagine how the right would be acting if Israel succeeded in murdering Greta Thunberg? Does anyone doubt for a second that they would do all of the things times 10 that they are accusing “the left” of doing in response to Charlie Kirk?

It is cheaper to help people, but that’s not what this was ever about. Republicans in the United States want to be paid and rewarded with the misery of people they hate and find undeserving. No amount of money saved can possibly equal the joy these people feel in punishing the “unworthy.”

This is the most pathetic goddamn thing I’ve ever seen in my life. There are still people in this app who defend the Democratic Party and I don’t know how they live with themselves or sleep at night. Fuck these people. And double fuck every one of them who voted to honor the legacy of a vile racist.
