We are definitely getting ballsier. We are watching, in real time, Americans say, “Yeah fuck this and you”.

ICE are an extra-judicial terrorist group killing non-white Americans and political dissidents, and also a paramilitary wing of the fascist government of the USA killing non-white Americans and political dissidents. ICE should be abolished, and so should the right wing systems that enabled them.

"you want to give free healthcare to illegal aliens!" The Democrats aren't, but that's the far-right tactic - position healthcare and freedom of movement as unworkable evils, not human rights, and through their protestations drag them further into fascism. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

It's hot air. The Republicans are already trying to gut state programs and enforce right wing hell on people. ICE, their 21st century Gestapo, roam any street with non-white faces. Trump being in office is inherently a problem, because he's a fascist. His fear of Mamdani should be noted!

It is simultaneously true for ICE's current atrocities to be one step along the descent into fascism and a continuation of the long standing association between American law enforcement and white supremacists.

The "freedom" of the market - your industry gets dominated by a mega corporation, the mega corporation turns to a fascist government to stay wealthy, the fascist government aligns with a tyrannical autocratic regime to support its wealth. Capitalism is a death knell for human endeavour.

Des Moines crowd begins to grow as locals protest ICE detaining Dr Ian Roberts.

Disbanding ICE and prosecuting everyone who led and worked for it is, in fact, the moderate position.

Austerity kills, part 2000

Here’s something that all of you in the UK can do that helps trans people and is good for you too. Not to mention preventing a massive waste of government money.

Liberal capitalism concerns itself not with justice or morality but "legality" - the issue is not the killing of human beings, but that it was not properly sanctioned by the law. Fascists, and wider right wing politics, cause deaths across society, defended and permitted through this paradigm.

Many of the problems in the world come down to the question "does human life have value?" which right wing politics have reached a consensus on - no

"racists were racist about a racist extrajudicial police killing, and that's similar to people reacting to one of those racists dying"

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE. If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

No one should get violent threats. But if you’re gonna change your vote because of it, you should resign. I’Ve been getting violent threats all week and not only do I have no intention of shutting up, I think it’s evidence that we need to say it louder

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

A botched "debate" can always be turned into something decent. "every cloud has a silver lining", after all www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xwzo...

"men made the world" and "without men of history you'd live in a hut" almost perfectly encapsulate a worldview constructed through a patriarchal, white Western-centric lens. It's very interesting that this comment comes in a thread about fascism too. I wonder how it spreads in right wing circles?

Mr Nichols wants to oppose the Trump administration but *still* has concerns about accurately identifying it as fascist. Why? Perhaps because a critical analysis of the far right leads to serious questions about the role right wing policy and the GOP have played in leading America to this moment.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

Shot, chaser Young men more likely to vote Green than Reform. Young men second most progressive group of any demographic. Combined right-wing vote barely bigger than Green vote alone for young men

"agree to our dreadful right wing management of healthcare or lose everything under fascists"

This post has been criticised by a lot of people, and justifiably so! Because it captures quite perfectly how fascists manipulate liberal politics by wrapping their ideology within the language and structures of liberal society and earning respect - and power - to fuel the far-right further.

How about that.

Bluesky's moderation is a joke, seemingly pushed by a right-wing mass reporting campaign to suspend their users over nothing, but it doesn't occur to them that those right-wing fascists want this site shut down/gone, and Bluesky is gladly cutting its own legs out from under itself to help them.

"complete strangers" and it's the President of the United States This is obvious trolling because there's no getting away from the fact the Republican party are openly fascist and engage in white supremacy, as seen every single day.

Cool, none of this has anything to do with Trump being racist and fascist, which is the whole point - the "the left call everyone bigots" is a nonsense argument designed to distract from the legitimate criticism of right wing politicians that cause harm to many people.

Once you get past the (irrelevant) personal accolades, spurious claims and nonsensical insults the actual argument is absent... The "you call anyone racist/fascist" falls apart under any scrutiny because there's no actual defence of the targets of such critiques, here Trump and the GOP. Come on...

Whenever you read who is being called racist and fascist it's always people that absolutely fit the labels, in this case the openly fascist Donald Trump. The incorrect hyperbole around the statement (here, "everyone" and "progressives are the most reviled ATM") don't change the racism or fascism.

Apropos of nothing, here's a thread of some Charlie Kirk highlights

Amongst all the noise elsewhere America's culture of violence claims two more young lives that won't get a fraction of the coverage, because in this society violence only matters when right wing figures are the ones affected. www.google.com/amp/s/abcnew...

This explains it better than I can

The violence of right wing politics is what gets protested in the first place, and said politicians take violence to the protests. Similarly, right wing politics have been dominated by people "pissed" at marginalised ppl's existence for centuries. They have a hateful ideology that's killing us all.

Should society follow unjust laws? Will society continue to follow them? The fate of American democracy - and wider society - rests on what people conclude from these questions.

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.

I would be happy if I never heard the name Graham Linehan again, but I do feel the need to comment, because the nature of a lot of the abuse trans people receive is straight up sexual harassment, but is not recognized as such because the victim is trans. What Glinner is doing is sexual harassment.

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

People who aren’t paying attention don’t think anti-trans stuff matters, as they don’t know any, & think of caricatures of trans ppl on sitcoms etc. To the far right yobs it does matter. This happened in Dublin, which doesn’t have the anti-trans culture of Britain. You should care:

Look at this photo. Our siblings, looking at us across time.

Other than the fact that this "standard" has very much not prevented fascists from being elected, what's even the point of opposing the GOP if you're going to give up actually representing marginalised people and cede ground to open bigotry? A left that doesn't fight for all is no left at all.

Transphobes talk a big game about science but when you actually provide peer-reviewed papers that demonstrate that the world is more than patriarchal BS they want the science "thrown out". The Nazis did this too - the science disagreed with their ideology, so they burned it. A lesson for us all

All of these things contradict capitalist economic goals of accumulating capital, translated politically into seizing public assets/workers rights for private corporations, explaining why the GOP aren't interested. Crime also means more people incarcerated - more prison labour - more $$$

Republicans really are awful, said a few things about their latest attempt to attack LGBTQ ppl and freedoms this morning: youtu.be/ER5hYqAvLt4?...

Borders are sold as protection, but what they really do is divide workers, scapegoat immigrants, and distract from the failures of austerity. Owen MacDonald and I dig into how liberals buy into the same cruel logic that empowers the far right.

Solidarity shows up in concrete ways: a fridge stocked in a neighborhood, a walkout on the job, a voice that refuses propaganda. These are the moments that push back against systems designed to divide and exploit us.
