this reminds me of the debate over whether or not george zimmerman was racist based on whether or not he might have uttered the n-word and not based on the fact that he stalked and murdered trayvon martin because he equated black male youth in casual attire with violent criminality

Midna in progress!

Not exaggerating when I say that the collective action in Minnesota will be studied for generations if not centuries to come

That isn’t science. We’ve already done the research on this. This is Nazi shit.

Whatever performative bullshit Jeffries did with respect to his own vote notwithstanding, not whipping this vote and allowing Democrats to be the difference between it passing and failing means that Jeffries doesn't give a fuck about what ICE is doing. bsky.app/profile/prem...

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

Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since. That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

what walks on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three in the evening? a pair of chickens crossing the road, one of whom gets badly injured by a car before lunch but hops right back into action around five thirty. why do they do it? how should i know, i'm a sphinx not a mind reader

I feel like the biggest snub this year at the Oscar's is jesse plemons for bugonia

I know a few of these

The Newsom thing is because they think the pendulum effect will give the election to literally any Dem, which may well be true, so they want to make sure the nominee is as far-Right and ineffective as possible.

traveling back in time and ignoring his cries of "it hardly seems necessary" and digging a revolver into jemmy madison's temple until he writes federalist #86, "what if the president is the biggest most corrupt shit-for-brains in history and also going insane"

It’s really too bad that Trump’s cabinet are all spineless worms or equally crazy because “the President has gone insane and is going to destroy the transatlantic alliance because they didn’t give him a Nobel Peace Prize” is kind of exactly the thing we have a 25th Amendment for

"we don't want people thinking Democrats are for open borders" I am! who gives a shit!!! my life has been immeasurably improved by the presence of immigrants in my community, regardless of their status, there is literally no downside there! why would I give a shit!!!!

very cool!

they should invent a lemon bar or a key lime pie that materializes when you want them

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

The federal government seceding from the union is a new one

Immigration authorities are being told “incitement” and “fighting words” are not protected by the First Amendment, per documents leaked to me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/immigratio...

everytime I call off work I start crying

ICE/CBP just shot two people in Portland.

They're not just doing tyranny, they're doing the *exact* things listed in the Declaration of Independence that the colonists accused the king of. It's surreal

The moderate position here is that every single ICE agent should be tried and put in prison for their many crimes. That's the baseline

for fucking decades i've had to listen to right wingers jerk off to their fantasies of masked federal agents turning their guns on innocent Americans and then the moment it actually happens they're sniveling boot-licking scum

dude

This is how they are framing him saying that he had not been read his rights until he got into the court room

(lib voice) yeah i'm a proud LGBTQ ally! Lesbian Gay Bi This Person Queer !!!

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

hey i noticed you don't matter, i also don't matter. would you like to start an inscrutable public beef?

I feel like letting every president of my lifetime get away with Unlimited War Crimes was a serious mistake

love how @bsky.app suspends people like @ndasfw for violating community guidelines but then doesn't specify which/what posts or which guideline so he doesnt have a way to properly appeal it besides saying "how can I fix it if you dont tell me what I did" lol. fuckass app.

My brother @ndasfw was suspended by @bsky.app for reasons not made clear. What the hell. Unsuspend him now!

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

last two years sort of make it clear that any state on the planet talking about high-minded "democracy" and "rule of law" and "consent of the governed" is bullshitting and the only two things that matter are material conditions and power and believing otherwise is being an easy mark

at what point is "america is a dying empire & will collapse in on its own weight in time" just wishful thinking for a rapture event that makes people actively passive and complacent and channel away efforts from doing things. there is no sign of stopping despite everything

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

Could an empire in decline do THIS? *launches deeply unpopular invasion cementing status as lunatic-led pariah state, its not clear what kind of move i was trying to do*

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine. We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

I know im sick because im getting pissed off for no reason

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Mayor Mamdani has nullified every executive order issued by Eric Adams after he struck his corrupt bargain with Trump to secure dismissal of the indictment against him.

orcas have the chance to do the funniest thing
