I don't think I've ever seen anyone with a clear understanding of history say that nonviolence topples oppression. It's usually white people pointing to King while ignoring X, or pointing to Ghandi while ignoring the simultaneous violent resistances happening in India. Smdh.

Yeah it's almost like they've been planning this for like 50 years at least.

Or the world series, or any other sports event. Bread and circuses.

the one silver lining of all this bullshit with the dems is people are grasping the whole problem of advocating for reforms on law enforcement that clearly nobody can or is willing to enforce

Who wants to bet they (dems) run someone shitty again and then blame us (leftists) for losing? I mean it's almost a guarantee that the controlled opposition/collaborator party is going to... Be controlled opposition, and collaborators. 🤷🏻‍♀️ No one ever voted fascism out of office.

Ah, yes, let's imply he's a homosexual. That'll teach him. Being a homosexual is obviously a bad thing to be so we should make fun of him for it. 🙄 I hate it here. Libs are no different from cons anymore. Just more polite bigots.

The state of american politics is that one major party wants to kill you while the other simply wants you to die

I mean this has been a slow slide into fascism for decades. It wasn't sudden. It was ever new rep with a more horrible opinion and every "lesser evil" Dem that left the space for the Overton window to push further to the right. The system has been broken and now it's going to kill us.

The real bad news is you need elections to run in

Here's the thing, world. If we rise up, and fight back, they'll turn the military on us. We'll die, en masse, for nothing. We are facing the 2 most powerful militaries in the world in our military and law enforcement. They will stand with the government. None of us want to die for nothing. 1/?

If your political party is making the argument that a guy with a gun is not allowed to defend a woman from a mob of masked men or else he's a "terrorist", I regret to inform you that you're the Baddies.

Lol at the people who think nonviolence is going to solve this. Nonviolence has never defeated fascism. But carry on, maybe you're special and it'll work this time.

I'm at the intersection of at least 2 marginalized communities. I'm certainly not going to be the one who starts the fighting back, I've been left stranded too many times. But if we start to take up arms, I'll be there.

It's wild people still think they can vote him out. That's sort of the fascist playbook, y'know? Getting rid of the elections or insuring they're rigged for your victory.

The really sad part is y'all motherfuckers still gonna buy Apple products because you're soulless ghouls with no humanity.

I'm betting on option 2. I'd love to be surprised, but somehow I doubt I will be.

Always has been. 💔

Footage shows displaced Gazans trying to survive the harsh winter conditions

I have to wonder if the population in early Nazi Germany wrote newspaper articles demanding to know why the controlled opposition party wasn't doing anything to stop moustache man. Because there sure love to confusedly demand to know why Dems aren't doing anything, even though it's the same playbook

All of the people who are suddenly so shocked and appalled that this is happening in America really have just never listened once to any marginalized person, ever. America has been a horrible place to anybody who isn't straight, white, and Christian for 2 hundred years at least

Hey Minnesota! ICE uses rubber tires. Hey Minnesota ICE puts radiator fluid in their vehicles. Hey Minnesota! ICE uses all your infrastructure in your city to attack you!

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

Wonder why that hasn't set the crowd on fire... Hmmm.

Boycott the World Cup Not a foot should be set in that country until the madness stops

Gods damn if this isn't the hard truth.

I can't wait

The people who vehemently defend the DNC and say “why don’t progressives and leftists start their own party instead of whining?” The donor class makes sure any actual progressive/leftist political movement is squashed because they’re a direct threat to their existence. Hope that helps!

This is what they want. The deaths of all the "undesirables".

They aren't going to stop at immigrants

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

I genuinely miss my ghost cramps

Billionaires

It's, a metaphor, see?

Haha deep cut

Hahahaha

Saaaame

I wanted to comment but couldn't: They won't, because they want this. Few and far between are the servicemembers who aren't far right. And none of them have the power or position to stop the others.

While I believe the files need to be released, it's wild to me that people believe this is somehow going to be the straw that breaks the camels back. They won't change a thing. Trump is threatening to start WWIII and hasn't had so much as a slap on the wrist.

Fuck yeah this is what America needs

I can’t take any European seriously who replies a post from a US citizen “you voted for this” as if the US works like a direct democracy and not actually an electoral system that favors less populated portions of our country, not to mention gerrymandering… get outta here with that shit.

I have zero sympathy for people who can't admit that the US had a fascism problem before the word fascism was invented.

As our government slides ever further into open fascism, I have zero patience for anyone continuing to peddle the nonsense that the people to blame for all this are the ones who wouldn’t vote for a party that actively supported a right-wing genocide and the brutalization of those who protested it

That's because fascism and capitalism are best friends, and everyone is office is bought and paid for by the corporations who are getting richer off of this.

Well duh

"you just call everyone you don't like a Nazi" The people I don't like >>

I didn't know fudge and I had so much in common

Hmm what's the difference? Oh yeah it's just racism
