Every lie told by this regime, no matter how brazen, shocking, or dehumanizing, makes perfect sense when I think about their claim that immigrants were eating pets in Ohio. It's not about evidence or credibility, it's about pushing narratives to facilitate ethnic cleansing.

Dear god... not the businesses

You know who else couldn’t outshoot the state on paper? The anti-US belligerent on the other side of nearly every war since WW2

whether by nature or nurture, there is a class of people who will always prefer death and destruction over a reduction in profits. they cannot be reasoned with. they cannot be taught empathy. they will watch young people shot, dismembered, and buried alive, and they will say that god is good.

Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy were overwhelmingly defeated by socialists and communists. Keep that in mind.

People are being hunted for their empathy, they targeted him not because he was confronting them but because he turned his back on them to help someone else. There is no safe way to peacefully protest this. They view your pacifism as weakness and will behave like predators who see weakness.

Every single city in the US needs a disciplined BPP-like group conducting patrols of their neighborhoods. Mutual aid is good but it isn't enough on its own

I had a tweet at the time saying Blue Lives Matter was the most openly fascist thing I'd seen in America in my lifetime bc it was responding to Black Lives Matter by saying "no they don't, and in fact your murderers are our heroes" with a little sticker you could put on your fucking pickup truck

It's cool that it took us like four weeks to get from "I started the biggest surveillance company on earth so I can kill everyone to the left of Ronald Reagan" to "if you take security culture seriously you're a larper and a nerd"

Seems like Parenti has passed away. He was 92 and suffering from dementia so this isn’t some great surprise, but it is still sad to hear about. He was of course not perfect, but he was a great orator and his “yellow” tapes are famous for a reason.

inescapable conclusion is we have no laws, just cops

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

there are cases where opsec is absolutely vital. anything where the liberty of another human being hangs in the balance is one of them.

They wheeled this Nazi asshole into court in a wheelchair and he was still trying to hide his face in shame 76 years after World War II ended. That's the kind of commitment I'm looking for.

oh wow robots are gonna do everything for us and we'll never have to work again?? wake up bro. they said basically the same shit about slinkies and guess what? eighty years later we're walkin down more stairs than ever

Every revolution means a sharp turn in the lives of a vast number of people. Unless the time is ripe for such a turn, no real revolution can take place.

ICE knows they aren't wanted. They don't care and have no reason to expect meaningful resistance from the mayor or governor, who seem more concerned with demanding the protesters stay polite than with the gestapo abducting kids.

I am on the side of all people threatened by western imperialism and capitalism. This unavoidably includes the vast majority of those living in the core, even the ones who committed the error of "not having the means to flee their country"

Hell yeah dude I love CQR

One Nazi party, one Vichy party

Domination, and the violence that is associated with it, such are the relationships that are typical of the “latest phase of capitalist development”; this is what inevitably had to result, and has resulted, from the formation of all-powerful economic monopolies.

The cops of the social democratic government in Germany in the 20s and 30s were constantly arresting communists and other people resisting the rise of the Nazis. This is what cops do, no matter who is in power, in a capitalist system.

To any liberals saying we need "regular" police but not ICE: understand that local police are doing this so ICE can carry out their orders as unimpeded as possible. Their tactics will escalate. They are 1000% on the same side

as someone from a cold climate, this is all good advice, and also: know where your water shut off valve is, because if a pipe bursts, turn the supply off immediately, then run all your taps and flush the toilet as much as you can to purge the system and stop any possible flooding

Now that the White House is using AI to edit photos of their political opponents to create fascist propaganda I’m wondering if anyone could have seen this use of AI coming. Okay I’m hearing lots of people did and they were forced to watch corporations smother the masses with the technology anyways

Biden had kids, infants, appearing in immigration court with no lawyers, no parents, and no hope of being treated like a human being. No one wanted to hear about it, let alone try to stop it while a Democrat was in the White House. ICE is a bipartisan monster for the last 25 years, not just now.

America is not unique or indispensable in any way. Most of human history precedes its existence and most of human history will exist after it is gone.

Billions have lived full lives and fought and died for liberation outside of "America the idea" and in direct contravention of "America the state" as it has actually really existed for its entire time in the world-system

Another tried and true IOF tactic

Hey can any of the simpering losers who say "dems don't have the votes to do anything" every fucking day double-check my math for me. Thanks

YOU - Suffering will only make me stronger. ENDURANCE - It's probably this way of thinking that got you where you are.

“That's 40 *cents*. Cents are a form of currency one hundred times smaller than the reál. I'm not even going to take this. Come back when you have 130 reál.” Isn't it... evil? The order of magnitude between what is asked of a person -- and what they have?

posts that are hard, posts that are funky it can get u hooked like a crackhead junkie

When ICE loses -- and I do believe they will lose -- the momentum cannot stop there. It can't stop at midterms. It is critical that regular people understand how much bigger this is than one specific demented asshole going insane with unchecked power

The elites and institutions have folded but regular people haven’t

If you already know how shitty and evil everything is (you do), then read this. This is too important not to read

It is easier to win now than it will ever be again.

If you work for ICE the bad news is there's only one thing you can do to make the country better. The good news is it takes a hundredth of a second and you won't feel a thing

Unclear to me if this fucking five year old kid getting kidnapped is breaking through outside of the Twin Cities and I don’t want to speak for anyone else but this has really steeled my resolve. This shit cannot be allowed to stand.

How do these people sleep at night? Are their thoughts not plagued with constant guilt? With knowledge that they're facilitating an ongoing assault on their constituents? People in Minneapolis & around the country have reoriented their lives around protecting their neighbors. Amy's watching hockey.

This is basically (if not literally) IDF shit

Hung a guy at Nuremburg for doing this, FYI. Not "a thing like this" but literally this, exactly.

We still have a leader of a sovereign nation and his wife locked in a cage in New York City

euros who slept through maduro's kidnapping and the genocide in gaza voice:

Every time there’s slightly irregular news from the White House.
