Timely reminder that any time resistance starts to catch on and take off, the grifters show up in force. You are under no obligation to humour these people. They're not helping, they're cashing in.

For all the focus on Rambo cosplay, *this* is what an uprising looks like - masses of ordinary people coming out, seizing space and building barricades out of whatever the fuck they can find. It is incredibly difficult to subdue a city once ordinary people start doing this shit.

At 26th and Nicolett in Minneapolis this morning— Feds have just shot another person in the streets. Furious community members are gathering. State police and conservation cops here in front of ~50 federal agents.

I’m sorry but as someone who has a book and a PhD on this exact thing, this is just straight up not true. The majority of Nazis discovered living abroad (particularly in the US, Australia, and UK) faced almost no legal consequences beyond the occasional loss of citizenship.

Fascists are marching, liberals are finally in play in both directions, some allowing anarchists to train and mobilize them, and a handful of irrelevant dipshits are like "have you considered embracing Stalinist genocide and dystopia into your heart??" Shut up and go back to your discord, Kevin.

My group was able to recover a spent canister from a green smoke grenade in Minneapolis. We now confirm with physical evidence that it was a green signaling grenade. Please don't spread rumors about hexachloroethane or nerve agents. #PublicPreparedness #Minneapolis

Rifaat Assad, the man responsible for mass murdering anywhere between 10 and 40,000 people in Hama in 1982 is dead. He peacefully died at the age of 88 in the UAE, where tyrants go to relax.

Looking forward to working alongside Orban, Lukashenko and the Emirates to defend peace and human rights...

MFW upon hearing the rumours

Tankies I know spent yesterday trying to explain why Iran's supreme leader conceded that thousands were killed in the protests after they'd sworn up and down it was lies from the western media (seriously... that was the discussion). They're way too busy to worry about Greenland.

Rachel Maddow posting a crimethinc link is wild lmao

This is barbarity. Pure evil.

All these years later, I have to admit I still don't understand what people online think "gatekeeping" is, beyond the act of ascribing meaning to words.

TBH one of the biggest structural weaknesses of the left is the fact that so much of the 'intro-to-activism' content kids encounter when they first get involved is total bullshit written by the worst people which then takes years to unlearn (if folks ever do, and many do not).

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

It's great watching everyone aggressively violate copyright to share the contraband 60 minutes video, but it's disappointing that so many people feel the necessity to upload to streaming sites or googledrive/icloud. Everyone should know how to torrent or use onionshare: onionshare.org

In case you hadn't heard the forbidden 60 Minutes segment aired in Canada.

I still remember reading the infamous "Boston bomber reddit thread" live while it was going down, and will never be able to get over that feeling of unease as I scrolled down through hundreds of cocksure comments. This is how you destroy people's lives.

New from 404 Media: Flock exposed some of its AI-powered cameras to the internet. We know because we tracked ourselves with them. These cameras zoom in on passersby, sometimes so close we could read a random person's phone screen. Required no login to view cameras www.404media.co/flock-expose...

It's easy to imagine that antisemitism and Islamophobia are existentially opposed and that combating one means tolerating the other, but then you read what all these people have to say about Syria...

Oh great we're doing patriotism discourse again.

Still immensely glad I never built a personal brand as "Canada's Chomsky".

So...they're gonna pay us to take drugs?

But was he an accomplished actor? Did he do it for an actress?

The people in your life are there, by and large, because they choose to be. Treat them accordingly.

Not sure Syrians, Bosnians or Cambodians would see him as a "free speech absolutist"...

So wait, it wasn't because he was planning to do a movie about Trump and Putin!?! You do not have to do this every fucking time a tragedy occurs, JFC.

Absolutely horrific and repulsive. Solidarity with Jewish friends, especially as it’s the first night of Hannukah www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

ICE snatched a human rights hero. Guan Heng risked his life to capture video of Uyghur concentration camps. After escaping to the U.S., Guan was in hiding for years, not knowing his work had been crucial to substantiating China's mass detention practices. On Monday, he has an asylum hearing in NY.

r/chomsky is currently in such a state they've turned on Milosevic!

60,000 is the *low end* estimate.

Another first with the Meta sponsor just added to the Turning Point USA mega conference

Will admit this was the first thing that crossed my mind when I heard WSWS was creating their own AI.

Chomsky is such a great exemplar of the anti-antifa politics that were widespread in the Left prior to 2017 -- specifically a total rejection of the core antifa planks of Three Way Fight and No Platform. This is why Chompers defended genocidaires and wrote defenses of holocaust deniers.

Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

Todays crossover in kookery is Kit Klarenberg of Grayzone joining Gareth Icke on David Ickes website. Guess red-brownism is getting too stale so brew needs some reptilians.

I would go so far as to admit that he's often right and his critics are frequently totally unhinged, but I'm just so extremely sick of the way he (and they) make everything about *him*. Everyone's leaving these conversations angrier and more ignorant than when they showed up. Why bother?

Theres an absolute goldrush in federal contracting for firearms and munitions firms right now www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

As unimpressed as I am, this is still sadly worlds better than many of their peers. These scandals have been the #1 killer of socialist parties in the 21st century, and the typical response has been just deny-deny-disband.

Apparently Francesca Albanese went to appear on Tucker Carlson's show.

Denmark has reached a deal to compensate thousands of Indigenous women and girls in Greenland over cases of forcible contraception carried out by health authorities over decades starting in the 1960s. www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...

LMAO. Did anyone really believe they were gonna let him run?

If reading were a successful inoculation against conspiracy theories, why do people so consistently spiral into crankery as soon as they win a Nobel Prize? What explains all the professors in the conspiracist milieu?

EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA – Alberta’s governing United Conservatives stayed up into the early pre-dawn hours of Wednesday morning to pass a bill that marks the fourth time in under two months they have used the Charter’s notwithstanding clause.

They targeted gamers. Gamers!

Starmer had Meloni, Fico and Orbán sign his statement to “stop the far right.” Beyond parody.
