those camps were built under obama and kept open under biden. ICE budgets increased every year under obama and biden. no one from the first trump term was prosecuted and biden told trump "welcome home" on inauguration day neo-liberalism doesn't fight fascism it enables it.

This comes two weeks after the Council of Europe banned conversion therapy. The right wing and activist press like the nyt have worked hard to promote the false narrative that transphobic policies are sweeping Europe. They were pushing a lie. Europe speaks for itself

it keeps going back and forth between being infuriating and funny how much we study this when the answer is always the same and it never matters

pessimism of the intellect + optimism of the will

Yeah, let what is happening to Discord radicalize you against the encroaching of puritan fascism we are seeing in laws world wide. The US, Canada and a good chunk of the EU like Spain are looking into making laws that will actively do the same for a more expansive area of the internet.

*pointing to stock line propped up by hype that meets 8 of 8 criteria for being an unsustainable bubble* when the line is above this level then you HAVE to let all wealthy pedophiles get away with it

haha yeah she got so mad today lol got er big time anyway everybody back to work tomorrow's another day I suppose hey I liked the part where she perjured herself on video quick question is anything going to happen anything at all no not really and don't get my hopes up alright then thanks had to ask

an image flashed in my head of a discord exec seeing everyone get together in IRC in protest and rambling to himself like the grinch trying to figure out christmas: "they chat without exclusive unlock quests. they chat without memes. they chat without emojis, video chat, and streams."

do you have any idea how chill you have to be for sex workers to say they felt unusually safe around you WHILE you smoked crack?!

For a while when I was a kid I followed Dragonball Z every week after school, until one day I got home late and missed that week's episode. And being a small child I was like, well it's a story based show, I've missed important context, I gotta stop now, the rest of the show won't make sense.

"Haunted" #IceOut #IceOutComics

This is worse than nothing. You are negotiating with the people who will drive a mack truck through literally any loophole provided

Tired of these guys man

i feel like we've had a good enough sample size for like two decades on whether or not body cameras on cops do anything whatsoever to stop them from killing people. the guy that murdered renee good was filming it on his phone for fun!

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Mamdani is proving what we all suspected. The Democrats didn’t want him to win because they knew he’d succeed and show how it’s not just possible to fix things- it’s actually pretty fucking easy.

This isn't a win. It's a systematic way to catalog protesters and legal observers into the Palantir database. It's not even tinfoil hat category to claim this any longer. We're being targeted and added to watch lists.

Worth remembering that something did happen: the journalist who revealed this died from a car bomb.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

This is not the same but is related to my personal peeve that’s like “edgy take on fairy tale,” and they just made the subtext the text

Please, I’m begging

there are no mastermind villains. every single one of them is sending 4th grade level emails to World's Most Famous Sex Criminal from their work account

"getting outside your bubble" is an admirable thing when it means trying a new hobby or introducing yourself to your neighbor or watching an art film but people only want to apply it to "being a little more racist just to see how it feels"

I got fooled by someone who is famous for being a conman until it was too late. Here’s why that’s actually smarter than seeing it coming:

Big Hops, a game about a frog named Hop, is extremely cute and has wonderful game feel. However I am a little mad about it, because it slightly blunts the impact of my planned "Animal crossing cozy brewery sim" starring Hops the Frog.

Living in the United States and shaking my head the whole time so the people on the internet know I disagree with it

Nation Yearns For Relative Calm Of ‘President A Giant Pedophile’ News Cycle https://theonion.com/nation-yearns-for-relative-calm-of-president-a-giant-pedophile-news-cycle/

neolithic guys get pissed if you tell them their cultures are organized by the type of pots and jewelry they made. "we called ourselves the blood hunters" "we conquered villages far beyond this horizon" sorry bud you're the western linear pottery culture now

When I look at fascism throughout history I regularly think "this happened bc the population protested and resisted the secret police too much. I wish they had chilled out, demonstrated proper civility so as not to earn the already occurring oppression, and let the fascist lose the next election

Update one day later: Loud complaining works ☑️ I understand desire to want to stay mad at them for the initial call, but tbh I think there's practical strategic benefit to responding well to businesses that respond to the pressure or it creates a situation where others see no benefit to follow suit

His 6 month old stopped breathing! HIS SIX MONTH OLD STOPPED BREATHING! A father was getting his kids out of the neighborhood because it was unsafe & ICE threw flash bangs & tear gas at his car with children & a baby inside! His 6 month old stopped breathing & all the children were hospitalized!

Fun fact! We could be using the $75 billion allocated for ICE on literally anything else! Like essential services that help people exist! It’s almost as if these issues + our priorities have a lot of overlap! Also people definitely can’t afford things if they get shot in the face!

Not gonna lie, it's a really high bar at this point but this honestly might be in the top 5 funniest things he's ever said

it's funny to see the wildly unpopular trump and his goons rip the wiring out of institution after institution without a care in the world and have NYT guys and congresspeople being like whoa dudes let's not get too crazy with the abolish ice talk

Like. If I hear “they need training” one more fucking time

the thing about this strategy is: when a lot of people mock fascists, the fascists crumble; if only a handful of people mock fascists, the fascists beat the shit out of them the first people to mock fascists are a mix of brave and foolish, cuz they don't know how many are gonna join in

everyone must stop thinking like this. nobody is illegal. the united states' immigration policies have been cruel and inhumane regardless of who the president is. demand better than the lesser evil

american liberals are fine with millions of deportations as long as they happen quietly and the police don't hurt any white people. proud of it, really

If you’re worried that “protesters getting out of hand” will give the President a reason to implement martial law in an American city, what do you think is happening now? They’re kidnapping and murdering people and the cops are being sent in to arrest people for noise complaints?

ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis or we WILL lock up our own citizens

"Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration." -Abraham Lincoln You never learn about this opinion of Lincoln's in school.

Local assisted living facilities are taking additional security measures because the residents don’t want their care to be interrupted when ICE abducts their staff. Schools are closed for the safety of students, faculty, and staff. There is no facet of society or stage of life unaffected.

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished. I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy. Time to melt ICE.

I feel like this is extremely relevant again Not “this was not self-defense” but “this was murder” Not “she didn’t run the ICE agent over” but “she was murdered while trying to drive away”

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

For those wondering what Mamdani's quote, "For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty," was in reference to...

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.
