Isn't there something you are forgetting, Bluesky?

This is what collapse looks like. America as an enterprise is winding down.

Bovino milplays in Nazi apparel because it lets him feel powerful to thumb his nose at people and invoke the imagery of terror. Talking heads like Noem and Marjorie Taylor Greene do photo ops with guns (badly) to show their power and evoke the imagery of fear of death. +

One funny thing from the news today is all of NATO's heads of state furious that Trump said their troops were cowardly in Afghanistan. Trump has been walking that back all day and Europe has been issuing mean girl posts about it. SUPPORT DA TWOOPS!

There are some liberal accounts I follow to keep my finger on the pulse of what passes for 'mainstream' but they are all pretending like ICE will be held accountable and it's a damnable lie. I don't like being lied to.

shutting the nazi government down is good actually

Liberals don't know what country they live in

Everyone sees the quantitative change happening as US citizens begin to galvanize against the government. This is good. There will be a qualitative shift at some point. We aren't there yet, but that change is going to be explosive. Agitate. Educate. Organize.

This Minneapolis slaying has echoes of the murder of Tortuguita. One cowboy cop gets spooked and then they all unload their mags wildly. Later, a gun no one has ever seen before materializes as justification. This response has a history of working. Will it work this time?

People who think ICE will face any legal repercussions (outside of a few possible "bad eggs") have no idea what nation they live in. Its astounding the level of dissonance liberals have about the reality of the USA. The Fourth Reich will not self-correct. It has to be wiped away.

Hey, if our government is going to deem you a domestic terrorist just for filming them... you may as well shoot 'em with something more substantial than video.

The people need armed patrols. That is the only conclusion I can reach. There needs to be armed defense of besieged communities.

As long as our mode of production is capitalism, the ruling class will always promote these backwards and regressive forces. The throughline to all these "failures" is that all the incentives in our society are perverse. Destroying the "other" is central to how ruling class stays in power.

A childish fantasy. To punish the rabid dogs of capital you would first have to subdue capital.

Me after arguing with liberals on Bluesky for two hours

Maybe a hundred people are gathered outside the ICE field office in Downtown Atlanta to protest against the Trump administrations immigration policy and deportation campaign.

Calling Lamb of God an aggressively mid band on Facebook just to feel something. These people need Sepultura and Meshuggah in their lives.

This is actually the maximum amount of loser energy that can be contained in a single photograph that does not have Hillary Clinton in it

I made a fucking great pot of chili this afternoon

God, I fucking loathe "Resist" folk singers.

For those outside the Twin Cities, the person posting this GoFundMe is a member of Minneapolis city council (and among the many locals doing absolutely heroic resistance to ICE), so it's legit.

This being said, the Old World is dead, and Mark Carney just delivered it's obituary.

I don't generally buy frozen food but I recently discovered that frozen chicken tenders are very cheap. I usually get Kroger brand because they are pretty good but they were out so I got Tyson brand. And let me tell you, Tyson is fucking garbage. Gristly and shitty tasting.

Random smug Europeans love to say stuff like "Americans must understand how hated they are going to be because of Donald Trump" and then they'll elect Fàsçist LeSatãn in 2 years and say "hey you can't judge us based on our shitty leaders it's not our fault!"

Tyson chicken tenders suck total ass

The first time I heard Cormega was a hip hop instrumental on college radio right after the Realness came out. I called the station to ask what track it was and the guy was like "Uh... it's called 'Are you my Brother?' except the word isn't actually brother."

I've never once worried about a chat I was a member of being leaked because I don't practice information siloing in my personal life.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

Mark Carney: We liked the colonial world order when it was enforcing white supremacy. Now that it's targeting white people, we want off.

picking up Greg Bovino by the back of his collar just to watch him twist in the wind, swinging his arms at you ineffectually

Feel it relevant to point out that leftists were correct when we said what was happening in Gaza would come home to roost. But what did Liberals and Democrats do?

if it can be dismantled by the corporate class, it didn't work

The Newsom thing is because they think the pendulum effect will give the election to literally any Dem, which may well be true, so they want to make sure the nominee is as far-Right and ineffective as possible.

Alleycat

I like Vince Gilligan as a writer (no, I haven't seen Pluribus yet) but allow me this controversial take: he is actually a better director than writer.

There is a lot more $$$ to be made in taking on the mantle of the Black Panthers than there is in taking on the struggle of the Black Panthers.

How an American feels about Walz calling up the National Guard is a litmus test for how gullible they are

Struggling to believe people when they say that urban food gardens are revolutionary. Seems like a great way to give lead poisoning to the people who least deserve it. Maybe food gardens are a component of revolution but it doesn't seem revolutionary in itself.

I've trapped Greg Bovino in the Phantom Zone. That's what I call my sock drawer

The trending topics on this site are so obviously fake

When you say “more training for cops” you’re endorsing projects like Cop City. You’re spitting on the memory of activists like Tortuguita who gave their lives to try to stop cop city. You’re also endorsing skill exchanges between cops and the IDF. It’s all part of global fascist militarization.

"they were standing there being Not White and we all know that's very violent of them"

January 18 will mark three years since Georgia State Patrolmen murdered Manuel Teran, known to fellow forest defenders as Tortuguita, in Weelaunee Forest. People around the world will observe the Day of the Forest Defender with events. Some of those are listed here: crimethinc.com/ForestDefend...

Who said anything about defeatism and inaction? That post was about confronting the reality that voting is not sufficient to get out of this mess, and that people should prepare themselves for the reality of confrontations over elections. Or is confronting reality the same as defeatism to you?

This is a meme about Spanky Maupin and ACP

Mamdani actually is a centrist, for the record. Demsocs are definitionally centrists, moderating capitalism with socialism and watering down socialism with authoritarian worship of private property.

From the "No shit" files... Zelensky: Our intelligence reports that Russia is preparing new massive attacks.

If liberals wanna keep treating politics like it's a team sport, lemme ask y'all this. Do you blame the audience when your favorite basketball team loses? Or do you blame the team? The coaches? The playbook? Players?
