seeing corporate outlets repeatedly refer to ICE beating the shit out of protesters as “clashes” may be the thing that sends me over the edge

Jacob Frey told ICE agents to get the fuck out of Minneapolis, a hugely popular viral moment, and the media has been browbeating him over it ever since. Trump flipped a guy off and told him fuck you and it’s barely acknowledged.

I’m not a religious person but I find myself wishing for hell to exist.

The part of you that believes non compliance is justification for murder … is addicted to the lies of liars

Melt, and no more be seen

This glib statement is all the more risible when you recall how many law enforcement officers used their vehicles as weapons against protesters in 2020... and how many Republican-dominated states *sought to legalize killing protesters with vehicles* as a reaction to the demonstrations

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

I don't care if she didn't follow directions; I don't care if she was disrespectful; I don't care if she was noncompliant; I don't care if she spit in his face, called him ugly, and smacked his mom - "immediate execution by the state" was not warranted; jfc, this isn't complicated.

In college we had a meningitis outbreak. One girl died and several people got really sick and the only reason more didn’t was because it was between terms. It was fucking terrifying. And that’s a rare one! The rest of these are so much more common! These people are so evil.

THE DAY CARES ARE LOCKED BECAUSE YOU MADE A GENERATION-LONG EFFORT TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE TO KILL THE CHILDREN INSIDE THEM YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING GHOULS

the vice president is a klansman

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

fuck everyone involved in this decision. scum.

It is a violation of my fundamental rights to have to see those Nuzzi excerpts, oh my god how is she employed. (Excluding the racism and unprofessional behavior even)

trump is, first and foremost, a starfucker

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

I am so happy about everything tonight but I am really goddamn emotional about this. I canvassed every year but 2017 was the first year I worked REALLY hard in state elections and what we pulled off that year was so heartening and then 2019 and just I am so happy for how far VA has come.

The fascists are not inevitable. They're not unstoppable. They're not all powerful. They want you to think that, but millions turned out last month to call their bluff. And millions turned out today to claim our power. We will win.

600 doors, 100 postcards, so many steps that I did not count this year and we wonnnnnnnnn hell yeah we can sometimes have nice things!!

Election Day is tomorrow! There’s still time for you to help GOTV for Democratic candidates in key elections: Virginia: indivisi.org/va-calls New Jersey: www.indivisibleonenj.org/gotv-2025?fb... New York: volunteer.zohranfornyc.com/phonebanking... California: neighbor2neighbor.io/campaign/fb6...

Here’s my my pitch for why you care about your state attorney general. The entire conservative judicial machine *depends* on conservative state attorney generals. John Roberts can’t take a case asking to destroy voting rights if a state attorney generals doesn’t bring it.

murderers

COATES: “Trump’s saying, ‘Y’all, I’m just gonna kill people.’ And the Greatest Deliberative Body has nothing to say about it. Y’all are punk, y’all are cowards.”

A good summary thread. Here’s the thing: if he’s nominated, Susan Collins is going to say she’s running against a Nazi tattoo guy. And then she’s going to win. It couldn’t be easier for her, because any swing voter, people who are used to voting for her, wants to think of themselves as not Nazi.

he's knocking down the literal white house and illegally murdering people by dropping bombs on international boats and the government has been shut down for weeks and it's just like....yep

Just disgusting.

I actually do think we should have a litmus test that having ever had Nazi iconography on your body is instantly disqualifying for public office. I'm not saying you cannot possibly atone for that, apologize, make teshuvah, and live a good life, but I don't want to vote for you for public office.

Also, Jordon Wood is RIGHT THERE for people who think Mills is too old! (Not a Mainer, but I heard and interview with Wood a while back and was impressed.) electjordan.com

JESUS CHRIST THE PRIMARY IS IN JUNE JUNE THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WITHOUT NAZI TATTOOS TO RUN OH MY GOD why is everyone so ridiculous the bar is in hell

I have never liked a politician so much that I would get on the internet to negotiate how much Nazi tattoo is a acceptable amount of Nazi tattoo. It's none! None Nazi tattoo!

It's really OK to change your mind when new facts are presented. It really is.

i actually don’t think the “average” american millennial man had a nazi phase. it’s not some boys will be boys shit. this makes me side eye you and your friend group, sounds like a personal problem

I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

Listen! Do not let your fight against fascism stop with today’s No King’s protest—let today start & accelerate! Register to vote, volunteer on a campaign, get involved locally, donate to a candidate you believe in, run for office—democracy is not for bystanders! Democracy needs your courage!❤️✊🏽

You could just organize people instead of complaining.

The politeness question also asks us to infer that the interrupter either doesn’t care what the speaker has to say or assumes they know what the speaker will say, but I find that more often than not, it actually indicates excitement or passion or deep curiosity about the topic being discussed.

i desperately want everyone involved in the destruction of USAID to have to, st the very least, answer to the american people for the suffering and misery they have caused apnews.com/article/myan...

“Who was president in 2020?” is the question of our time

Remember when these guys ran a completely fabricated story about trans kids sourced to a single bigot who worked at St Louis Children’s Hospital and it got so much traction that they ended a bunch of programs for trans kids because of all the bomb threats

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

Mayor of Broadview, suburban Chicago site of an ICE processing center that local folks are daily protesting, said this: "You are making war on my community. And it has to stop" & that DHS "is running a disinformation campaign that would make even the Russians blush" www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

regular reminder that "he wants" ≠ "he will"

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

We don't know what's going to happen so might as well fight for better. That's really my basic political orientation.
