to be clear, the police are a defining feature of the fascist state lol you cannot have fascism without police and you cannot have police without fascism

50501 organizers in LA called the police on a local Black man who has been a mainstay at protests for nearly a decade. Fuck this shit.

no chance I'm wading into discourse on the posts today, but people telling @pplscitycouncil.bsky.social to "do something that isnt just posting" is laughable, they're one of the big reasons many people in LA, anywhere left of center, can follow the daily/weekly minutiae of LA city hall corruption

Demanding nonviolence at protests but then calling police on established protestors sounds about white

I hate bluesky.

“Organizers from Indivisible had asked WHOA to speak and to table at this event. However, they have demanded that our speaker not mention solidarity with Palestine, and we will not participate in erasing a genocide.” From GSOWHOA:

[At The Hague] My client is an empath, your honor

Booker (drained, teary eyed): and with that I yield the floor (15 minute long raucous standing ovation) Next order of business the confirmation of Kevin Sorbo to head the department of Housing. And it’s unanimous (gavel bang)

Today is April Fool’s Day, but I would say the biggest fools are the ones running our government in Washington.

I don't like or trust Bluesky. They delete so many Palestinian accounts. My inbox here is evidence of it -- dozens of messages from deleted Palestinian accounts. This is a place sanitized of the horrors of the world. I think of it as the fake blue sky in The Truman Show that was just a painted dome.

This is Alaa! She needs your help to survive.

This is a do-or-die moment for the whole labor movement Will organized labor step up to meet Trump's existential challenge head on? Or will unions stick to purely legal challenges, press conferences, and scattered small-scale protests?

everyone keeps shaming the 9% who have a favorable opinion of the Black Death but have you ever considered that Europe has bad vibes and is unpleasant to be around?

One more sleep until baseball. The eternal sleep. Death. Baseball is Hell. War is Hell. Baseball is War.

I don’t understand how you can watch a video like the Tufts one and not view ICE as an irredeemable agency that is attractive for violent white supremacists to work at.

My $.02: If you want to make "fascism-knower" your public brand so you can cash in on that, it's not a good look to then cut and run from the actual fight against fascism.

I realise that to cis people, when trans people lose access to gender-affirming care, it seems like we're bitching about not getting our little treats. I have more than one friend whose body is currently falling apart because it no longer makes its own hormones and the government banned their HRT.

I want to make this post because I see people trying to rewrite history and make dems the victims of a malicious campaign by Arabs and young people to tank Kamala's campaign swing states. What actually happened is that dems made a horrible political calculation in Michigan and ate shit.

Mass murder of Palestinians has been a bipartisan political project for a long time and it is U.S. government policy as a whole which must be opposed in this arena. And, as we've seen, trying to hold to this bipartisan pro-genocide position is again weakening resistance to Trump (see e.g. Schumer)

Directors should be snapping up the cyber trucks so we can see the future again on the big screen.

Once again, since nobody ever listens, there will always be *just enough* Democrats to give the GOP whatever dogshit they're currently trying to pass. Thus has it ever been, thus will it ever be.

Israel is currently violating two different ceasefire agreements (Gaza and Lebanon), a peace treaty with Egypt (Philadelphia Corridor) and they are also violating Oslo in the West Bank and occupying Syria but sure, they “maintain all peace agreements”.

19-20 months from now, Trump will have pushed the economy off a cliff and left the civil service a smouldering husk. If you're a Democratic elected and you think a government shutdown from a CR fight is gonna be the thing voters remember, you need your fucking head examined.

Adam Schiff is in such a safe Dem seat that he donated millions to a Republican campaign to artificially boost his “opponent.” The top two vote getters in CA move on to the general election regardless of party and Schiff knew it made sense to boost the Republican and squeeze out the Dems.

Interracial marriage did not cross 50% approval in the US until 1996, when I was 30 years old. Good political messaging drives opinion, it doesn't follow it.

i remember getting on a bus in SF and somebody said Reagan just died and i said ha ha good fucking riddance and a woman said well that's rude and i said fuck you lady and somebody else said yeah fuck you lady

i was asked why the democrats are so set on losing strategies, & sadly they are not, they are winning. they are one of two parties of capital, funded by the same rich donor class. as long as their class interests aren't threatened they only care about elections in terms of personal career ambitions

Dumping Slackbot's body on the side of the 405 south of the airport

here's a request: can everyone saying the trump-zelensky fight is the most shameful thing they've ever seen in the white house access that rage the next time trump brings a genocidal, currently wanted war criminal into the oval office and promotes an ethnic cleansing scheme

This is one of the funniest videos I've ever seen in my life
