i'm leaving blue sky, being around so much political news has been really fucking me up and i'm done

i'm surprised there hasn't been a seinfeld revival

Every so often I think about the American Brigadier General who wrote, in the 1960s, in a translation of Mao's Guerilla Warfare: "[M]any of them feel that these aims can be achieved only by a desperate revolutionary struggle that we will probably oppose. This is not a hypothesis; it is fact."

c.f Zizek (I think's) joke that the KGB's biggest fear was discovering the people of the USSR believed in Communism, not that they didn't

HEY BATTER BATTER

Reform’s new London mayoral candidate, Laila Cunningham, was undone by a rare GB News miracle: a good question. Asked why a party that says the Tories are terrible keeps hiring so many of them, the ex-Tory herself had a rock-solid response: "I can’t answer that."🤨

rightwingers always call women “too emotional” but renee good states she’s not mad in a calm voice while the agitated emotional ICE agent unloads his gun umprompted and calls her a “fucking bitch” after she’s dead

absolutely horrific, she’s very clearly trying to move out of the way and the ICE agents escalates and murder her

they've got Raffi calling for regime change. something has shifted.

it’s incredibly important to note that on the new footage that came out from the ICE agent himself, halfway through the video he switches his phone between his hands, opening up to grab his gun way before renee good even starts driving

100% we are living in a failed state

ICE shooting comes after bombshell probe finds new recruits 'can barely read or write'

It's oddly fascinating that some of the small potatoes MAGA people are starting to realize it, but the big influencers are full steam ahead on the death-ride. Gut feeling is that the biggest names are fully insulated from what normal people believe and say

That's the thing about a pack of shuras, like MAGA influencers. Because they can't set aside their ego, because they are drunk on blood and lack the clarity and discipline necessary to stop seeking out more blood, they will eventually turn on each other.

So to return to this: Mussolini had 200,000 blackshirts for the March on Rome in a country of ~35m. Hitler had 400,000 brownshirts in 1932 in Germany for a population of ~60m. So around 0.6% of the population. 0.6% of 340m Americans is just over 2 million. They do not have enough goons.

in a civilized country that ice monster would be chained to a wall getting pelted with rocks until it's shattered corpse is left completely unrecognizable

the best antidote to blackpilling is remembering that every video you see of an ICE thug abusing their power was recorded by an American who volunteered to put themselves in harm's way for the sake of people they've likely never met and never will

Yelling at CEOs is good and we should all do it more (He's still not fully letting go of it, but being yelled at clearly moved the needle some)

36 people have died at ICE's hands in the past year may of these deaths did not happen on camera, but it does not make them any less horrifying and unacceptable this is a list of their names, where they lived before being abducted, and a link to crowdfunding if i can find it

bout to pounce

Graham Linehan made a willing place in his heart for evil, and once you open that door wide all the horrors come in.

you know how if you try and make LLMs more racist, they also end up more sexist and pro-genocide? this is the human example of that. evil isn't a single thing, if you start down one path you keep ending up at the same destination.

I found it odd that I got this advertisement in my Instagram feed today. Couldn’t tell if DHS is pro or anti sex trafficking.

There is no "normal" to go back to. Only what we do next.

lmao

People were able to force this change not by voting with their wallet but by being really annoying. Being annoying actually works.

My anger at having to stand outside my kid’s school for two hours to ensure none of their classmates, parents, or teachers get kidnapped by my own government is only slightly tempered by the amazing outpouring of support from other parents and especially neighbors who stand against this bullshit.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

If one can believe in the passage of time, it's been 13 years since my brave little pooch did nothing in the face of chaos. Thank u for allowing him to burn. 🙆 🙇

We're at the "Don't go out in public if you have brown skin because you might be murdered or kidnapped" stage of white supremacist fascism.

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

Open The Tongass to roads and logging and you don’t “manage” it….you flip it from carbon sink to carbon source. From old growth to degradation. Once that happens, there is no restoration timeline that matters. www.seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-m...

i love the idea of a guy who’s still been on the edge of getting into jeopardy after 61 years of it airing

his name is Jonathan Ross and he shouldn't get a good night's sleep for the rest of his life www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

MAGFest is for the sickos

they want everyone to believe that resisting a white supremacist race war means the state should kill you and it’s deserved, and it’s concerning every republican on every level believes this now. in 2017 this was being said, but it was still a marginal opinion

This should honestly be a legal requirement for discontinued products.
