Elizabeth, the FLOOR is "Abolish ICE." The more acceptable answer is "encourage state governors to activate their National Guard against ICE."

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities This is exactly the opposite. Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

Can we skip to the part where Trump offs himself and his wife in a bunker?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA [deep breath] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>Big demonstration >on a fucking saturday WHEN WILL YOU LEARN THAT SACRIFICING A SINGLE WEEKEND DAY DOES FUCK ALL. If you're not willing to put anything on the line - not even your job - then don't be surprised when literally nothing happens and we fall into a dictatorship.

Way too many of the self-labeled "Libertarians" on the right are just Authoritarians who are afraid to take accountability for their beliefs. If you want to be called a libertarian, actually be libertarian.

I know the people who need to see this won't listen, but denigrating people for participating in the No Kings rallies is a losing strategy. Moderates are not your enemy, and they are in fact necessary for a movement to succeed. Anyone can fight fascism.

This remains relevant.

i would again like to remind everyone that NEGATING A FRAME REINFORCES IT "he's not really targeting criminals" makes it an argument about criminality "this is a fascist attack" states what is actually happening START WITH WHAT IT IS not what it isn't

The second amendment is a necessity, and our current fascist government shows us why. Even if you don't intend to use them, buy a rifle, buy a handgun, and buy plenty of ammunition. Learn to use them. And never, ever point your gun at something you do not intend to destroy.

Kimmel was just their test run. It did not work, but we have not saved free speech. They went after Kimmel not because he's important, but because they think he isn't important enough. They WILL come for you. Speak freely while you still have the chance.

Doing a blackout to force Bluesky to change won't work, because that would require bluesky to have enough users to even matter.

I can think of one key difference between Charlie and the Man of Steel.

NO FUCKING WAY DID ONE OF THE BULLETS SAY "NOTICES BULGE OWO WHAT'S THIS" WHAT THE FUCK TIMELINE IS THIS LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

I'm horrified by the shooting of Charlie Kirk at a college event in Utah. Political violence has no place in our country.

I joke now, but I am bracing for the coming retribution wave of hate crimes against people (including myself) who were neither there nor relevant to the shooting. You can only plan everything up until the moment the trigger is pulled. You cannot plan for anything that happens after.

Thoughts and prayers for the people who saw the video, not for Charlie Kirk.

I work somewhat down the street from the campus where Charlie Kirk was shot. Everyone I work with had videos within MINUTES of it happening. I could have told you he was dead before it was even reported.

Im not advocating for violence because lots of people will get hurt but as someone who has researched and written about authoritarianism regret to inform you that the way this is described is not "the only known solution". It might be the more desirable but putting the claim this way is ahistorical.

>Big demonstration >on a fucking saturday WHEN WILL YOU LEARN THAT SACRIFICING A SINGLE WEEKEND DAY DOES FUCK ALL. If you're not willing to put anything on the line - not even your job - then don't be surprised when literally nothing happens and we fall into a dictatorship.

The cultural demand of liberals is to have performative charisma divorced from the substance of what political leaders stand for, which has been the case since they invented their fictive version of MLK. It's also why they're able to worship Bill Clinton and Obama, no matter how horrible they are.

So to all of you praying and hoping that the Democratic senators and representatives do something for you, even in two years, or even four years, know this: They will do nothing. It is left to you to do something. Tyranny waits for no one, why should you wait?

"Vote blue no matter who" got us this second Trump term. You would do well to remember that. Vote blue only if they deserve it. And if they don't, run blue to dethrone them. And if you can't, vote third party.

I'm not even that far left. I'm just sick and tired of picking between two parties: the "fuck the queers" party, and the "fuck the queers" party but they pretend to be on my side because it's good business during election season.

MAINSTREAM DEM CAMPAIGN FUNDRAISING IS GRIFTING ON THE BACK OF THE RISE OF FASCISM Do not donate. Do not contribute. They're raising funds for themselves while pushing out any Democrat who actually gives a shit and isn't in it for the performative kayfabe.

“It is not a radical idea to say that every man, woman and child in America can have a decent standard of living.”

Pritzker is legitimately one of the only Democrats doing fuck-all about the fascistic regime. Everyone else is just making "Tell Trump he's a meanie doo-doo yucky-head" petitions. Surely if we sign enough of those, the fascism will stop, right? No. Encourage action. Take action.

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

Gloves are off now. I'm going for all the ineffectual people who would rather just roll over and let fascism win by still toeing the party line of a party that is COOPERATING WITH THIS DICTATORIAL TAKEOVER FOR FEAR OF BEING CALLED OBSTRUCTIONIST

"We demand gun control! Let's make it so the only people who have rifles are the army and police, which Trump has deployed against the people! We are very smart!"

It's fucking astounding that I still see people demanding gun control in an era where the federal government is becoming a fascist dictatorship that is the exact thing the Second Amendment is made for. Like, what's the plan here? Hand in your guns and board the next train to Trump's Auschwitz?

I was gonna say this has peak "I would vote for Obama a third time" vibes, and then I saw the dumb comments calling this treason. PEAK "hashtag-resist" behavior. Opposing something that's in the constitution isn't treason. Half of you oppose the 2nd Amendment. Is that treason, too?

Holy shit: Stateline spoke to nearly a dozen firefighters, agency staffers and contractors, who said that top officials assigned to the fire deployed the crews to a remote location under false pretenses so federal agents could check their immigration status. www.hcn.org/articles/fir...

No, no it absolutely is not. If it was more profitable/cost less to pay livable wages and allow unions, companies would do so.Those millions spent on union busting are dwarfed by the money they're not paying in increased wages. There is a reason why the minimum wage exists as a law.

Folks, don't even engage in the bad-faith arguments and spin of the right-wing when it comes to the Minneapolis shooter. You don't have to entertain their transphobia. It's all bullshit distraction and hate. We've come to the point where we can say, "F Off."

This is intentional. The majority demands that an individual not represent them, but also that a minority individual represents the entire minority. One white man is "not all white men," but one black man is "all n-words." One cis man is "not all cis men," but one trans person is "all t-slurs."

. This isn’t a spectator sport. A couple of people striking won’t move mountains. It takes ALL of us. Yeah, it’s uncomfortable but past generations sacrificed way more than skipping a few paychecks. #GeneralStrike .

We are not bending the knee. My response to AG Bondi and President Trump.

Just how tyrannical does a government have to be for people to utilize their 2nd amendment rights? Like, y'all know this isn't going to end with "just a little tyranny" right? His plan is full Sieg Heil Fascist Dictatorship, and he's already rolling it out with the army.

FINALLY! I HAVE JUSTIFIED REASON TO CALL MAGATS PEDOPHILES. EAT MY ENTIRE ASS YOU PEDO FUCKS, STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM CHILDREN

Every moderate should be afraid and angry right now. We are witnessing the rise of a regime so evil that we destroyed it in WWII, and Americans are blind to it because decades of social conditioning have led us to avoid calling a spade a spade: This is a new Reich.

So that's it...people are going to lose their healthcare because republicans have no fucking spine... Every MAGAt that voted for the Orange Hitler-Wannabe... This is on you. Blood is on your hands. I'm sure you don't care because you're all a bunch of evil cunts, but this is your fault.

Power—the media, politics—maintains control by defining the Overton Window. Mildy liberal politicians are being shot dead, but the liberals have spent much more time and energy chiding Mamdani over a harmless slogan a lobbying group demanded be silenced.

If you can laugh at it and turn off the TV, it's not a fascist. Fascists aren't jokes. They're deadly threats to everyone outside the hegemonic identity groups that fascists deem correct. When you kill nameless Nazis, you didn't kill Nazis. Every Nazi has a name. Every Nazi is a real person.

Remember while reading this that most farmers skew Republican, and most farmers voted for this. They will reap what they have sown.

Every moderate should be afraid and angry right now. We are witnessing the rise of a regime so evil that we destroyed it in WWII, and Americans are blind to it because decades of social conditioning have led us to avoid calling a spade a spade: This is a new Reich.

"As violence erupted, his charging document said, he told other rioters who were attacking law enforcement officers, 'Kill ’em! Kill ’em! Kill ’em!' He then raised his arms in celebration after breaching the Capitol in a face mask... and escaped through a window..." www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/u...
