Pogrom is the word.

antichrist watch

People who will be like “we just need a good enough third party” will say “you can’t overcome X’s network effect, it’s an unbreakable law of nature”

fucking hell. there is not a big red button marked "WIN" that politicians are just choosing not to push.

The Star Tribune had an insane graphic about the presence of immigration enforcement in Minneapolis. There are more immigration officers in the metro right now than local police officers.

goddammit, i am now reading posts calling for a GENERAL STRIKE time to fucking log off

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

And when I say "this" I mean: the actual Democratic primary electorate is very pro Palestine overall, according to the data, and there will be as a result more pressure than ever from related focus groups to bind Democratic primary candidates to promises and positions that follow them into office.

Donate to Monarca, the immigrant defense network, my only costs are gas money and maybe some car repairs and therapy at some point lol

We should stop all enforcement of our immigration laws in the interior of the United States though

hey, you know what, actually, don't say "fascism" anymore say Nazism. say the word! that's what it is, its one specific brand of fascism in particular. nobody offline understands what fascism even is anyway. calling this "fascism" is what a media company says so they dont get sued or whatever.

well fuck

god I hate these fucking nazi homeland security posts

People are saying I'm a rough beast, the roughest beast actually, and that I'm slouching towards Bethlehem, no one slouches like me folks, not Crazy Kamala, that I can tell you.

preview says 3, as of now the headline is updated to 6

“Minneapolis ICE shooter told longtime neighbor he was a botanist,” @people.com reports. "He said he worked with plants, as a botanist, so he lied about what he did," she said. people.com/ice-agent-jo...

If we’re in the timeline where we neither get a thousand year trumpenreich nor a total enough repudiation to allow a free hand in reforming things, which is most of them, we should think about using this for good btw. Many parts of the govt could be partially de-chuddified in ‘apolitical’ ways .

Any left-liberal who can look at Jamelle Bouie and conclude “Yeah that guy is the problem” is in fact the problem.

when arguing with someone on a web site, it's important to remain aware that there is an actual person on the other side of the screen. you can use this awareness to score additional points

maybe down to confidence in the pure rightness and universalizability of the One True Political Perspective, such that anyone who hears the gospel simply *will* agree, and any other perspective requires deliberate ignorance or deception? (this is *very* evangelical-coded)

anyway as i have said many times — and literally just wrote on saturday — i think we should abolish ICE as well as unravel DHS and i welcome elected officials who embrace both outright but i am also aware that any senate majority will contain moderate and conservative democrats who need an on-ramp.

I thought so!

Every minute they spend doing this is a minute they’re not illegally violating immigrants’ human rights. It’s scary but this is what winning looks like.

that's the problem though, my criticisms of her are always nuanced and specific whereas it's only ever *other* people's takes that are informed by institutional/societal misogyny that they don't recognize is influencing them.

high training requirements will, by definition, keep an agency small. Not saying this is the best solution, but it feels like a decent fig leaf for more comprehensive reform for lawmakers/voters who are institution-brained

this is a very good sign

Made the mistake of trying to find a chart about inflation by searching for inflation on here and got a reminder that while most people think Bluesky is a place for politics, it's actually a place for furries to jack off

Few people in power deserve more credit for this than Sarah McBride

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms. (Published June 2025)

acab obviously but isolating ice, making them a pariah in the eyes of other law enforcement, is essential to abolishment

I didn’t even think of this but what Minneapolis is doing right now is literally modern minute men. And it’s true to the name: if anything happens, responders are on their way in well under a minute.

Wilhelm screaming as I find out that actual journalists reporting on Grok quote Grok as a primary source as if it is a sentient person

reminder: the problems with american journalism are STRUCTURAL Although it may SEEM like chastising an individual reporter will "fix something," it WILL NOT. no matter how good or bad the intentions of the chastiser or the chastised! dont harass people and believe it's righteous

The literal DNC chair, everyone

/12 If you think it is obvious that the videos prove murder and nobody can say otherwise, your view is based on how you want the system to be, not how it is. It will be brutally hard, fighting inch by inch against what America is, to convict Jonathan Ross. Your feelings don’t enter into it.

There's a group of freaks running the country who think the video is exculpatory because it shows the kind of person that they think should be killed, and they're telling all of us that as a kind of insider vice signaling

In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

I am so proud to help announce a new video game website! In the year 2026! @midimyers.com and @zoehhannah.com join Post Games to talk about mothership.blog. Plus, they share a history of women in games media! You'll love this one! And so will your friends!

hi! i'm co-founding a new gaming website with my former polygon colleague @zoehhannah.com. it's called mothership.blog. i made it for someone like me... the kind of website i always wished we had in our space. watch the video to learn more :D

I really have to emphasize that I do not think that doing freelance messaging consulting for politicians currently in office is particularly helpful or productive If you think you have identified a better message…just say that thing! You do not have to preface or append “Dems suck” to your beliefs

FWIW “everything is on the table” is verbatim what Jeffries just said when I asked him.

understanding the concept of "political will" was a very important part of my own growth into a politics-understander

People are experiencing ICE the way we've always experienced the police. It's a new feeling for them. That law enforcement is not here to protect you, but explicitly sent to fuck you up. If we ever get past this fascist takeover, it'll be interesting to see if we're ready to revisit #DefundThePolice

The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

I went to bed angry I woke up angry
