They painted the fucking cows

A little bit of levity in these trying times.

oh no not the state police terrorism programs? who will chat with mentally unstable teenagers and offer to make bombs for them to pick up? the feds?? not during a shutdown!! think how many young muslim men will go un-entrapped!

Loads of people in the replies are all like "Oh no! Now the Terrorists will get us!" American brains are fully cooked.

Pretending the reason leftists disagree with Klein is because he's "trying to win" is absurdly bad faith. We are all obviously trying to win.

I actually didn't know it talks, and now I know they made it talk like a terrified underling in a meeting with their short-fused boss who explodes if they say anything wrong. Why would these guys think people sound like that, weird, huh, oh weird

This video is very centred on the feelings of white people and not on the actual victims of racism. You may as well have said “white left” as that’s who you mean. If you mean white people just say that! YOU can feel racism rising? Okay…

I don't think the people expressing surprise about things the Trump administration is doing understand how absolutely fucking crazymaking each of your posts is for Black and Indigenous folks who called *all of this* and sat through people talking about "respecting norms" for years

This isn't the first time I've seen Americans downplay how many people the American military kills. I think it's the same brainworms that make them say soldiers are just young guys trying to pay for college who don't know any better.

Cops: All Bastards, BBC's Panorama to broadcast the obvious

lmao

A lot of people are going to be very mad today that Peak Hedsweat is plainly describing how the US military has always operated.

I have been an EA hater for a very long time, hopefully the good assets get sold off to someone competent.

Even when immigrants are being detained, we see the impact of know your rights information. The family detained at Millenium Park refused to answer questions about their status and also asked for a warrant. Once at Broadview processing center, they also refused to sign a voluntary departure form.

Every fresh piece of news about patriarchy’s backlash against trans liberation affirms what the radical among us have always known: if the means for our care is in any other hands but our own it cannot be relied upon and indeed may be used against us.

So exhausting..

An older drawing, but still very much applicable to right now. 💩

Falling asleep at my desk so I've made a coffee. I'm still falling asleep but now I can hear my heartbeat.

The only good resident of the whitehouse I can think of was Biden's dog that kept biting the security service guys.

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

Anti-ICE? Hey, you’re nice. Anti-trans? I’m throwing hands.

The brownshirts got their uniform from a surplus that was meant for colonial troops in Africa. The ICE dickheads all have cheap gear from Amazon that's meant to look like something from Call of Duty. Losers who want to look like what they think soldiers look like.

I know everything in the world is terrible right now, but I'm one week in to fostering this lovely little rescue puppy. It's taken him a few days to get used to people, but he's starting to come out of his shell. He's still not entirely sure what to make of us, but he's a curious little guy.

fuck

I fuckin knew authcomms hadn't actually read On Authority

This should really exist here

"Everything will be in one place! It'll be so convenient!" No it won't. I am telling you now: it will be a complete fucking mess. Way worse than anything you can imagine.

And as for this “you can use them to report potholes” guff, have you ever heard a bigger pile of shit in your life. The problem with potholes is not that people do not report them - it’s that when they do, councils don’t have the fucking money to get them fixed. I HATE KIER STARMER SO FUCKING MUCH

Extremely disappointed in my union over this. A union that doesn't know the meaning of solidarity is no union at all. Scab behaviour.

As a member of almost a decade I'd like to invoke all of the right I have to ask what in the fuck are you doing here? The union has consistently voted in favour of trans rights, this is a disgrace.

I don't know how anyone my age can look at younger generations with anything but sympathy. We've all been watching everything erode around us with every promise of a better world betrayed. I have nothing but empathy for people coming of age just now.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

they’re all on the same side🤡

the only good fascist is a dead fascist

If you're deciding to make the moment where christian fascists are trying to seize control of the internet and pry open all your private messages into your chance to have Nuanced Opinions about smut I at best think you're worthlessly stupid and at worst think you have a tiny hitler in your soul

YOU try doctoring crime scene evidence in a hurry with only the items you have on you and let's see how good of a job you do, alright?

funeral logistics, from Talking to My Father's Ghost (1/3) happy birthday, mom :)

I think this is an important thread that touches on the main reasons we're Like This. I think there's also some more stuff I don't have the energy to go into about how our police operate. Especially Police Scotland and their love of "having a chat".

The prison industrial complex is genuinely evil. The fact that it is in any way compatible with our society or allowed to operate damns us all.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Okay, look, I want to explain a bit about this mystery of why Italians (and other Southern Europeans) are so much more up for rioting than people in the UK. The UK has over 7 million CCTV cameras. That's more than 1 camera per 10 people. London is the 3rd most surveilled city in the world. 1/

The UK is simply a much more dangerous place to engage in public order offences/riots than Italy. It's all very well and good telling people to engage in these sorts of actions from your job as a guardian columnist, but for some people this shit actually has real consequences. 6/6

I wonder what history class is like for kids these days. "Yeah, the Nazis were evil, committed genocide, and had to be defeated in a world war... oh by the way, Mussolini's daughter is in power in Italy, the Nazis are the second largest party in Germany, and the US...well they're doing it too :)"

*gently takes away the obscure Italian autonomist texts and hands you a Crass album* There are easier ways, I promise you.

In August 2024, a massive police operation prevented a protest camp 'near' to Drax power station from going ahead. People involved in setting up the camp - not actual protesting - face prosecution on the thinnest of evidence. Yet this is the only media report we've seen on the start of their trial
