Listened to a breakdown of white power movements and the ideologies that drive them, given by a former supremacist. Using that information to help de-program a close relative who has drunk the kool-aid. I feel like a lot of us could use this tactic; 🧵

Etymology Post: CW suicide “kick the bucket” is a phrase with unclear origin. The 1st formal definition comes in 1870, claims it as a phrase of Norfolk origin, where a bucket is a pulley, and associated with the practice of pig butchery by upside-down suspension (in which the pig often kicked) 🧵

Y’all we need to take this “cancel your Disney account” energy into the voting booths and town halls

Call local/state reps. Demand legislators defend the Constitution they swore an oath to uphold. Demand court reforms that improve transparency. Demand tax reforms to force billionaires to pay their fair share. Demand Articles of Impeachment. They want to keep their jobs? Make them justify doing so

Anyone this quiet about their uncomfortable ties to the things they claim to combat, isn’t going to combat those things Bro used the term “swamp” to refer to D.C. money/power dynamics and that’s a 🚩 💯

Tom Homan operates the terrorist organization ICE that sends masked thugs into our cities, brutalize people selected by color and ships them to concentration camps. I want him held accountable for that. His taking a $50k bribe was the least horrible of his crimes. #nurembergonthepotomac

📽️VIDEO: Marc Elias breaks down everything you need to know about how Trump and the Republicans plan to interfere with the 2026 midterm and 2028 presidential election. What can YOU do to stop it? Watch our latest to learn more👇

Wow. Not at all surprising, but wow. Blatant corruption is perfectly fine (encouraged, even) in this administration.

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have. I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

Carl Sagan wrote this in 1995 and I think about it a lot.

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.

Lotta right-wingers love conspiracies, so talk to them about real conspiracies. Project 2025 has its lineage in the Christian Conservative Coalition power players of the Reagan era, it’s a 40-year long conspiracy. Or this

It’s almost as if the Trump regime lies

I’m on the hunt for source material, researching for a potential essay on modern hate groups (of particular interest are well-organized groups such as the Klan) and the way they operate, and obfuscate. Any recommendations?

youtube.com/watch?v=Omc3... Everybody needs to understand this concept. Whether you have the ability to put in practice is an individual call based on personal safety but please watch this delightful and simple breakdown, it is a fundamental of good praxis which many of us (even me) can overlook

Sometimes we forget other people don't know the things we do. One time I introduced someone to control+c and control+v and they almost started crying. When we encounter an article limit on a website we don't have an account with we delete the cookies for that site. Next to the address usually.

People, especially black people, who commit suicide don’t generally hang themselves from trees in a public setting. Two in the same day? Jackson, Mississippi still had an active KKK chapter as of 2021 (no current information is available). Mississippi is the birthplace of the 1960s KKK revival.

Psst, psst, come here, I've got something to tell you. Antifa, which is an abbreviation for anti-fascism, is an ideology that advocates for democracy, equality & social justice. Nobody is funding the 'Antifa Organization' because it doesn't exist. Thank you for your attention to this matter! -M

Repost if you will too!

Of particular interest to me is that state violence qualifies in definitions of political violence but is conspicuously absent when political violence data is published. We do have a political violence issue in the US and our own government leads by example *9/11 accounts for most Islamist violence*

Please note right up top, the figure for Islamist terrorism is largely attributed to the 9/11 events here, it is not representative of individual extremist actions. Also this research was published by CATO Institute and corroborates current numbers published by govt. sources and others

Brian Kilmeade advocated mass euthanasia. Advocate for his firing

Found this one, pretty interesting conservatives haven’t been throwing THIS around more

Corporate “news” is 100% complicit in not merely covering up, but in perpetuating the murderous racism of this system.

31 House Dems just voted to promote Trumpʻs occupation of DC! Call them. Go to their offices and townhalls. Hold them accountable! clerk.house.gov/evs/2025/rol...

Far-left “terrorists” I have met include: Attorneys Educators Religious leaders Librarians Neurodivergents Artists Veterans Disabled people Trans women (who are often afraid to exist in public spaces) Other queer-identifying people BIPOC people Working class people Straight white men like myself

They utilize that wealth and power to accumulate further wealth and power. That is why they don’t like the left: we shout tax the wealthy while far-whites shout deportation and deregulation. It is a simple choice for them to look at the middle class they destroy and say “it’s the poors’ fault”

Let’s ’Streisand Effect’ this one and make sure everyone knows about this study that the DoJ doesn’t want anyone to know about.

The coup is ongoing.. #politics #fascism

Feel free to look into it, some great YT creators have lengthy videos on the subject; Project 2025 was initially a playbook conceived during the Reagan era through Evangelist and authoritarian conservative cooperation. No wonder they cling to trickle-down economics

Congratulations to Britain for having enough sense to recognize the reality of Trump’s Epstein connection…they really got scared straight by the Jimmy Saville scandal I guess. Once the cards fall a lot of American conservatives will have to grapple at length with their willful ignorance

Equating all modern far-left movements with the far-right or a couple of historic bad governments (which, it’s worth pointing out those historic left govt.s were co-opted by strongman leaders and meddled with by the CIA), is just as damaging as the far-right incitation rhetoric.

PSA for those in doubt: a tightly centralized, one-party state without socialized economic and legal policy is like…definitionally Fascism. Even if you remove the current administration’s regressive and oppressive social views, the basic broad strokes of their desired system meet the criteria

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying children for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.

Pam Bondi deleted a government study showing that right-wingers commit more terrorism. The right cannot think coherently so instead of making their own studies, they censor legitimate ones. But don't worry Pam, I saved it for you web.archive.org/web/20250911...

The revolution may not be televised but it’ll have a bitchin soundtrack. I recommend for some solid punk; Dead Kennedys (old but gold), Soul Glo, IDLES, Bob Vylan, Viagra Boys (for a real weird one try Tropical Fuck Storm). Drop your recommendations below, and remember to crank the volume up

youtube.com/shorts/oaNJ4... If you don’t watch YouTube or if you do, watch this channel: this legend is laying it out plain @garyseconomics.bsky.social your work is incredible, even the shorts are all killer no filler, hard economic reality throwing hands at conveniently spun political narratives

Trump has canceled hundreds of millions in public health research grants since taking office — endangering pediatric cancer research. Now he wants to slash the National Cancer Institute's budget by 37%. How is this Making America Healthy Again?

The anti-vaccine movement is a pseudoscientific assault on public health.

Remember when we we were all sensitive little snowflakes? For believing in radical empathy and creating equity for all? The same people who hurled that supposed insult around, are so special and unique that they use it to justify humanitarian atrocities and silence anyone who disagrees with them

Lesson of the day: Demystifying the Stock Market Stocks are not a measure of economic health. They are a measure of how rich investors and corporations are getting. Trading stock is gambling on that growth, and does not contribute to the economy Thanks for coming to my TED talk

Nuance is very important within this discussion, social media is perhaps the worst method but the best tool available for having that discussion and nuance…so here goes. Political violence gets condemned generally by voices of every alignment. Especially by politicians, who have a vested interest in

“Facts don’t care about your feelings” is a low-quality quip used to mischaracterize logical argumentation, and deployed exclusively by people who have no facts to fall back on and FEEL defensive and angry. Absurd that they act like it means they’ve won

What a fantastic rebuttal, truth so blunt it can cut the narrative right to the bone. We need a lot more civic leaders and serving politicians willing to do this, to push back in every public conversation so that the conformity of those narratives isn’t so easily molded

Lesson of the day: most US infrastructure is crumbling, we have a D grade overall. We could cut military funding and tax billionaires to pay for a set of national rebuilding projects, curbing unemployment and improving travel. More effective than deportation by far, as the numbers will bear out

Thinking we should let Jello Biafra have a run at the presidential election. Replace the national anthem with “Let’s Lynch the Landlords” and have radical empathy guide policy? Most of the other old heads are dead or Republican now 😢 put a Dead Kennedy in office!

Sorry I just have to get this out. If you still have a twitter account (I refuse to call it the rebrand) plz take a moment out of your day to go bully Elon. If enough of us make him feel bad maybe he’ll shut tf up
