How much will it take for people to accept that Israel is committing a genocide, and how many reports need to be released for our governments to stop it?

gop: we are declaring democrats illegal and we're putting them in camps schumer/jeffries: we're hoping for a bipartisan budget deal

got to make sure those federal funds are flowing so the camp guards don't suffer any late pay issues

the vice president declared war on left wrongthink today and this is how the most senior democratic elected official is talking, still

I dunno, I try not to be hyperbolic but what else can you say about the headline "Regime Plans Persecution of Regime's Political and Ideological Opponents."

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

Channel your outrage about @washingtonpost.com firing @karenattiah.bsky.social into support for her work

What's being "protected" is not "free speech" but rather the RIGHT for white men to be white supremacists in public without any criticism or any consequences. I hope that's clear.

Hi ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere If you have any national platform at all Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social: ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday. Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events. Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms. ‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms. But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

I think it's fucked up that so many people on here who post valuable information in images, screenshots and infographics that could potentially save lives don't key in on what is happening in this current moment in time and think, 'perhaps the visually impaired also deserve this information.'

Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield had pre-authorized inpatient care for Teressa Sutton-Schulman’s husband after his first suicide attempt and approved a request for extended inpatient treatment. Then came the $30,599.69 charge. By @deldeib.bsky.social

Super weird that the guy who was Practicing Politics The Right Way somehow magically seems to have a following so racist against Black people that him getting shot by a white person in the whitest state in USA results in 7 Black universities receiving terror threats. What's this got to do with us?!

Open debate is for economic policy and whether we should charge for public transportation. Open debate is not whether some human beings are lesser than others. Some ideas are so vile, so odious, that they should not be entertained.

once again it is not fucking normal to lower flags in oregon for random member of the opposing political party who was born in illinois, lived in arizona, and died in utah. this is not a normal thing they're extending to a white supremacist, it's a special thing they're doing for a white supremacist

The markings that supposedly expressed “transgender ideology” were………..a series of arrows.

Utility watchdog criticizes Michigan regulator’s response to report, argues it ignores the real experience of customers: planetdetroit.org/2025/09/dte-...

Far-right political activist Charlie Kirk was shot dead on September 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University. Here's what you need to know about the CEO and co-founder of Turning Point USA's background and views Content warning: This story refers to a viral, violent video of a shooting.

“Nobody should be killed for their political beliefs” vs “every child in Gaza is potentially a terrorist” is a fun contrast

I honestly feel like a lot of white libs act the way they do because they know that if shit pops off in a bad way, they are never more than a wardrobe change and a stiff-arm salute away from blending in safely with the Nazis.

A popular white man got killed by another white man while speaking on an overwhelming white campus in an overwhelmingly white state and this is the result. Racism doesn’t need a reason, only an excuse.

/2 See, a significant part of the "Free Speech Culture" movement is about saying "this person is standing up for the right to say things they agree with, therefore they are a free speech hero," even if they manifestly aren't in favor of free speech for other people they disagree with.

Evergreen High School shooting: One teen remains in critical condition, another victim stable

you cannot be disparaged by your own words... people cannot attack you with your own ideas if ones words are repeated and they are viewed unfavorably that is not a reflection of the one who repeats it is a reflection of the author

The political party who celebrated Paul Pelosi's assault, ignored Melissa Hortman's assassination, laughed at the attempt to kidnap Gov. Whitmer, and cheered as insurrectionists on Jan 6th attempted a violent coup of Congress want you to be ultra respectful about Charlie Kirk

It’s funny seeing all the right wing talking heads try and condemn violence, only to be reposted with screenshots of their own calls to violence. Your ethos means nothing if your praxis contradicts it.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

In Utah, it is legal for people to conceal carry on college campuses including in classrooms & it is *illegal* for faculty to tell students that they can't have a gun in their class Imagine teaching in those conditions Imagine learning in those conditions Especially in this time of white supremacy

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

i think anyone saying he practiced politics the right way or that we should continue his work should first have to read out loud his last days worth of posts to someone they love who doesnt know who he is

The issue is not whether regular people will know why these flags are at half mast but that the state and its leaders know who Kirk is and decided to lower the flags in the first place.

It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

Kirk paid to bus people to J6, man. He was not invested in a peaceful path to winning democracy through debate, he was happy to have the appearance of playing within the rules of constitutional liberalism while actively working to overthrow it. www.govinfo.gov/app/details/...

it's weird that the "too soon to politicize" rules don't seem to be in effect this time.

After more than a decade of a resistance movement against it, the United States still does not considered the police murders of Black Americans as political violence either, but it is the oldest form of political violence this country has known.

Political violence's legitimacy is defined by who it's used against--it is perfectly alright to use violence against the marginalized in society, but yet when those in power are subject to political violence, suddenly, violence is deplorable.
