Wild that there are so many Democratic Party apologists who *still* feel like the party needs to change nothing, and bears no culpability for us getting to this point. That if we just voted for Democrats we could all be at brunch.

Ventured out this morning to hit the gas station. Half a mile away. Treacherous. The Subaru managed, but if I still had a Civic I don't think I would've. Saw one car stranded. I will have to go further afield today, as I need to get medicine for both me and the dog.

I think one of the reasons Derek is so effective at this is ... he just completely ignores the bullshit framing the fascists are trying to anchor the discussion in.

I like it.

Marvel's "Echo" was a really refreshing little show. Much lower stakes, much more human story. Loved the use of sound, loved the integration of Choctaw culture. More like this, please.

Vincent D'Onofrio is such a fantastic Fisk.

Of *course* ICE agents who murdered someone yesterday are out working again today. They're stormtroopers. No investigation, no administrative leave, no psych eval. Just move them out of the reach of local law enforcement and get them back out there to terrorize more people.

youtu.be/59PYoMzgh0U?... I never skip a hopecore.

When we overthrow this regime we should seize everything with Trump's name on it and raze it to the ground.

Why are people so obsessed with Putin, or Trump being "senile"? These are distractions! Both let him off the hook for pursuing things that he perceives as in his best interests. "He's a Russian asset" shut the fuck up.

At some point - maybe soon - the fascists will push a little too hard, and people's anger will overwhelm their fear. And that's when the fascist cowards really need to be afraid.

Only two generations away From the world's most despicable slavery trade Pioneered so many ways to degrade a human being That it can't be changed to this day Legacy so ingrained in the way that we think; We no longer need chains to be slaves

No one is coming to save us. They are complicit. Obama said something about Kirk, but not this.

You aren't mad enough.

Really puts the way media covers govt into perspective. There is ground truth here! The Fourth Estate has an obligation to call lies out for what they are!

Sigh. I just spent an insane amount of money fixing my dog's knee. I don't need to be expanding my NAS. Maybe I should aggressively cull my movie and TV show collection.

It's so quiet out. I love it. Much needed after yesterday. The world is still beautiful and worth fighting for.

I wasn't sure this storm was gonna deliver given the rate of snowfall when I went to bed. I shoveled the deck immediately before taking the dog out this morning, and it was falling fast enough we left footprints. We might blow clean past 12-15.

Bill Kristol speaking with more clarity on this issue than most elected Dems. Wild.

The Boston Tea Party was famously a law enforcement action.

I turn 50 this year. I've been angry about a lot of this bullshit for a long time, but to my shame been able to use my white privilege to... Stop at being angry. What's the point of that? I'll be dead in 30 years, at best. Direct action gets the goods. Find me in the streets at every opportunity.

I'm currently watching an anime (Japanese), Shōgun (Japanese), and Echo (American Sign Language). I run subtitles all the time anymore, but I can't multitask while binging any of these lol

You know, I hope to god football superpowers decide to boycott the World Cup, or at the very least games played in the US. *Somebody* needs to push *any* kind of consequences at the regime.

I'm white, and I bet if *I* went vigilante the cops would take a different stance.

Watching Echo, and man I love Graham Greene. Sorry we won't get more of his performances.

i made a helpful reference

I would be very surprised if a full accounting in the future didn't reveal more than one mass grave at the detention centers. If they're behaving this way in public, what's happening out of sight must be many times more brutal.

Me, talking to Democrats. We are well past the point where you should've dropped "loyal" from "loyal opposition". Start being leaders, or get out of the way.

Bill Kristol more radical than nearly every elected Dem.

Ice Cube was on to something with this banger

"Abolish ICE" (the entire DHS, really) is the compromise position.

I swear to god, if the Nordecke starts chanting "USA" at every possible moment again this season I'm gonna fuckin lose it. #Crew96

Hey, guess what? 'President Donald Trump claimed that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey are “inciting insurrection,” insinuating that they called off local police from protecting federal immigration officers at the shooting scene on Saturday.'

The federal government is summarily executing US citizens in bread daylight. Are Democrats actually going to *do* anything concrete about it? My hopes are not high. You wanted power, *presumably* to do some good for the citizens. You have it. Past time to make a choice. Consequences.

Hey man, I've seen two opposite angles of today's "shooting" and that's just an impromptu execution by the state. That's two, now, in Minnesota that we have clear video evidence for. Once again, the Feds are lying. Obviously lying. We can all see it!

Stepping away from doomposting for a minute... when is Audi gonna drop some F1 merch? I love the livery, and while McLaren is "my team" in F1 (and I really admire Vowles and what he's doing with Williams), I'm a big Audi fan in other motorsport. Get it done!

I do not understand how people can listen to the absolute horseshit coming from the federal government and still think they need an actual excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act. They will quite literally say whatever they want, absent any evidence (and often in direct contradiction), to justify it.

😎

I don't believe the feds who say the man was armed. Even if he was I SAW THE VIDEO; the force was not even remotely proportional. He was face down on the pavement. And ... you have a picture of a gun in a car. That isn't evidence.

This is 1000% obviously true. Why are they in Minnesota? Texas has WAY more people here without documentation. Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle, Columbus... cities and/or states with leaders willing to be critical of federal leadership. Texas? Not so much.

I'm making a joke, but this shit is not funny.

Such a stark contrast to what I saw in Germany and how they reckon with their own history. Museums about the firebombing of Hamburg include the context of the Nazi slave labor used in the city - and how those slaves were some of the most vulnerable during the bombings.

Good God. Deploying a chemical agent at point blank range in the face of a restrained person.

"A frozen water storm is coming. Watch out for frozen water on bridges and overpasses. The electric company is preparing to fix any lines damaged by frozen water."

I will not be participating in the (very funny) "nastiest angle" trend for OPSEC reasons.

Elderly cat was struggling to pee. Was literally seconds away from heading to the emergency vet when ... well, it turns out he was just constipated. Totally normal now. Guess he needs more fiber.

For the second #Crew96 home game (March 14th vs Nashville) I will not be able to attend. Throwing it out here in case anyone wants to buy my ticket before I list it.
