Fellas, is it morally justifiable to log off?

This is a generational fumble

Patriarchy creates a system by which both genders participate in dominance and oppression. Patriarchy is the root, but that doesn’t mean it always branches off in a man-to-woman dichotomy

Everyone mad at that Schumer Memo Needs to watch this. It probably explains why Schumer is so resistant to talking about Minnesota youtu.be/dijMKwZMU2Q

Schumer needs to be defeated as leader in January 2027. There is real rancor in the caucus with him; this is an achievable goal. Call your senators, ask your candidates - do not support Schumer for leader.

When people dumb down the intricacies of the US-ISR relationship (which is often symbiotic in its colonial attitude towards people across MENA) they miss out on some really comical stuff, like a US Senator who wants to bomb Iran so bad that he's going to Israel to ask Israel to ask Trump to do it

there's a direct line from striking individual suspected terrorists in an undeclared war in Yemen to the Caribbean boat strikes.

the skeleton key here is 'is it something the executive did under Obama/Trump I/Biden but with the limiters ripped off?' it's probably going to work. is it something entirely new and unprecedented? odds are they will eat shit one way or another.

Thread from the GOAT

Last year's arrest of Mahmoud Khalil was more than just a chilling act of political repression, it was an attack on all of our constitutional rights. Now, as the crackdown on pro-Palestinian free speech continues, Mahmoud is being threatened with rearrest. Mahmoud is free—and must remain free.

This is the feminist take. Patriarchy is an institution built around monopolizing violent force in the hands of men. Liberalism and especially the advent of mass produced reliable firearms, and the proliferation of cheap explosives technology have significantly reshaped this dynamic.

hey. just wanted to remind you that we’re glad you’re here and we love you!

It’s very funny to see so many folks get mad at Bouie for pulling apart the impossibility of “canceling the midterms”. Like I know yall are tired and Doomer poisoned but you do actually have to get out and work on all of this!

among other things, I don't really think that trump wants people to resist or escalate. he wants people to knuckle under.

we are going to need to do a whole lot more than just vote but we are still going to need to vote

The Ro Khanna cycle continues apace

I'm sorry, Appeasement Democrats, but we already tried your way. Working to hide Trump's malfeasance from the public, sanding off as many rough edges as possible, working to avoid confrontation under the theory that he wants confrontation, then trying to move on as if it didn't happen failed. Badly.

It’s a stone cold fact if ICE and Border goons left Minnesota today the chaos would immediately evaporate.

this is cold as fuck

The Insurrection Act isn’t magic. All deployments of repressive Trumpist forces are based on lies. Why assume he’s holding back due to lack of factual basis? Possible he likes the looming threat more, wary of how the military responds, that it won’t end protests, and his fans will be disappointed.

fuck Jacob Frey

Quite literally all the violence, ALL OF IT, has been performed by the state. ALL OF IT.

A single federal agent with a long gun just walked through the crowd, slipped on the ice on his way under the police tape. Dropped his loaded clip.

if they leave msp without towing stancil’s corpse behind them like achilles and hector, then wherever they go next will know that they are beatable with nothing more than a honda fit and a spine and if they leave with that, they will find him reborn everywhere they step

tell it to Tapper's face next time you're on air

Danes are on the right course here

mamdani is a wonk in left-populist clothing

The teams for World War III are Calvinball: Denmark, Sweden, Iran, Nigeria, Will Stancil, Canada, Ukraine, Brazil, transsexuals, and the second Star Wars sequel trilogy movie versus USA, Israel, El Salvador, 4chan, incels, Hungary, and Chick-Fil-A.

Trump will destroy himself sooner or later, it doesn't bother me, that's not the tragedy. The tragedy is the brutalized immigrants, rotting in El Salvadorian death-camps, Venezuelan fishermen, rotting on the sea-bed, alliances which took centuries to build, cast away like worthless dung.

This is a big reason movements like BLM very often aren’t considered resistance or left movements and it’s *constantly* reflected in our rhetoric.

stephen miller visited the delphic oracle and was really excited when he was told 2026 would be about the triumph of the Will.

i can’t stop laughing at imagining will stancil screaming at some ICE incompetent: YOU CANNOT MUTE ME. YOU CANNOT BLOCK ME. YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE.

Will Stancil really does have the exact type of personality that ends up leading revolutions, and I mean that in both the most laudatory and derogatory senses possible, including the fact that he would inevitably get purged after six months because of his inability to ever compromise or back down.

That’s my neighbor county goin woke Les goooooo

fingers crossed this holds

There is a non-zero chance this ends with the great martyr against fascism Will Stancil getting put on money fifty years from now.

it BEGINS

bandcamp banning AI music is great news for *checks notes* planet earth

they did, in fact, take decisive action. in the midst of these hearings congress passed the third enforcement act, called the Ku Klux Klan Act. the grant administration used that authority to virtually eliminate the klan, which did not resurface for another 50 years.

we should want to make it undeniable that there is no choice but to end ICE, prosecute its officers for lawbreaking, and fundamentally rethink immigration enforcement.

this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)

this wasn't just fact-finding, it was a form of what @joshchafetz.bsky.social calls "congressional overspeech." the testimony from black americans was dramatic and divisive. it captured the attention of the public and helped build support for aggressive action against the klan (2/?)

over the course of 1871, congress held seven months of hearings on ku klux klan and other white vigilante violence in the south, they took detailed testimony from hundreds of black men and women attesting to klan terror. (1/?)

lmao, lol, hehe, haha, things of this nature

What the fuck is wrong with people.
