The catalog of fuckery is long. I can’t keep track anymore, and I don’t need to. It’s enough to know that our country has suffered a coup d’etat. The defeat of these coup traitors is the precondition for any meaningful change.

It's been a shitty week, I should build a new rifle.

While we're at it,

My incumbent state rep (r) tried to tell me that all of the problems I face as an Ohioan are because of Dems. Told her that her party has had control of the state for 26/33 years and my county for as long as I've been alive. Her response: Well that's just not true. It actually is.

Scrolled the TL and you guessed it... Still Wancil.

There isn't a single aspect of Trump's ballroom that isn't a security consideration. The $1bn in the reconciliation bill will fully fund the construction. The private donor money will be used to buy trump branded napkins at $1000/ea

If you're a young leftist looking for an inspirational model for politics and can't come up with anyone better than Stalin or Mao I'm going to encourage you to read a second book.

Saying this now, just in case - - New Yorkers hated Giuliani on 9/10, couldn't wait to get rid of him - Giuliani was in the street on 9/11 bc the Command Center at 7WTC was destroyed (he put it there to be near Judi Nathan) - Giuliani killed 343 firemen by forcing cheap radios on them

@iwriteok.bsky.social not to be a parasocial weirdo or whatever, but thanks for writing a book. I needed the story as much as I needed the quiet solitary time it took me to read it.

There's a lot of misinformation floating around saying today's VRA opinion is fine because it all turns on the question of "intent." After all, they're saying, all you have to do is prove discriminatory intent, so what's the problem? This is a THREAD.

I just paid $4.99/gallon for regular unleaded in Ohio. Immediately across from the soybean field my state rep uses as a tax shield. The field is currently full of Republican campaign signs. Our primaries are Tuesday.

if you're a Republican acting shocked and aghast about leftist dipshits circlejerking about stealing from Whole Foods while the President loots the US Treasury for billions of dollars you should probably shut the fuck up forever

@rooster.info do you know of any charities working to feed folks and fight the far right in Southeast Ohio? I need to donate a bit of money.

JD Vance is an embarrassment to the g̶r̶e̶a̶t̶ mid state of Ohio.

"The KKK Memorial Park is staffed by slave labor" is the most Georgia headline of all time

Me at 10:43am: perfectly recalls the exact words I used on a safety sheet that I filled out 4 months ago with a hangover Me at 10:47am: what do you call the folded over pizza thing that isn't a pizza? I want the round red meat thingies and the leafy stuff in it, whatever that's called.

Two things libs fail to realize about the far right: 1.) It will always go after the left 2.) Everything is to its left. Every time the Dems fail to protect a group to their left, they get closer to becoming the left. The far right is assimilate or die. No gray area. They WILL come for you.

Don’t let them tell you how to protest — tomorrow, or ever… If you missed author and organizer Kimberly Jones’s viral moment, this is a MUST WATCH.

I'm not some military genius or whatever, but the inhabitants of the area that is known as Iran haven't lost a ground war at home -ever- and I feel like the current US military likely isn't gonna break that streak without some fucking heinous war crimes.

What has to break in your brain to make you choose pedo-patricians over pediatricians when it comes to caring for your kids? This fuckin country man...

My favorite part of imposter syndrome is bouncing between YOU CAN DO IT! and WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?? every 30 seconds forever until you die.

Every day is shut the fuck up Friday. Shutting the fuck up doesn't just affect you, it affects your friends. Solidarity with all who shut the fuck up.

You know who else felt entitled to decide where other's people votes belonged? Fuckin slave owners. Get fucked, clown. My vote is mine to give or withhold as -I- see fit.

RIP Cincy traffic this afternoon. Trump is planning to cross the Ohio twice during rush hour in a torrential downpour.

. @repgreglandsman.bsky.social do you still support Trump's war?

I woke up this morning with blood on my hands. It belongs to people I've never met from places I've never been. It's there by no direct action of my own other than an accident of birth, but it is still my responsibility. I am not guilty of the empire's murders, only of not doing more to stop them.

@whysophiewhy.bsky.social you'll be happy to know that the first ad after you talked shit about Superbowl ads on btb was for an ai-powered daytrading website.

One of my coworkers intentionally skipped a certification class I teach (free to attendees). I don't offer it again for a full year and they didn't believe me when I told them it would stop them from getting their next raise. Am I wrong to charge them for a 1-on-1?

The YPG like to say that discipline is what you fall back on when you run out of morale. Even when everything seems terrible, you still have to grit your teeth and do the work. This is a new stage of struggle, and things will be harder now, but the revolution is not over.

Today somebody told me they could see me working in an ER because I'd handle the stress well and that's one of the best compliments I've ever received.

Much of my youth revolved around the website ZineLibrary. It went down around Occupy in a massive loss for a movement whose ideas and knowledge mostly doesn't circulate online but in person. Anyway I've put it back online with a *thousand* anarchist zines: zinelibrary.org

Do any accounts on here track wn in Raleigh NC or Buffalo NY?

Y'all ever just been sitting at a work meeting and notice that the most important dude in the room is covered in fash ink?

his internal what?

This morning, I wrote about struggling under the weight of this moment and offered a few reflections on why it's important to still seek out joy and rest in the midst of our feverish struggle. Don't let the burnout getcha, folks, we have a world to win.

Well shit. That was the best halftime performance I've seen in like... Ever.

"I have rights!" "I didn't do anything illegal" Cool story, glad you're gonna get out of jail in 48 hours... With a broken rib and no phone. With a mugshot. With an arrest record. With legal fees. With your face on the news. It doesn't matter if you're innocent when the ride is the punishment.

It doesn't matter if you're innocent, the ride is the punishment. You still got your ass beat. You still got arrested. You still got a mugshot. You still spent days in jail. You still lost your job. You still had your name in the news. You still have to deal w/ it all forever.

If anybody bought a pack of medium crew socks from Costco and ended up w a single large sock, hmu. I'd like to work out a trade.

As long as agents of the state can summarily execute civilians with impunity, NOBODY'S right to life or liberty is truly secure. Every single one of our lives is potentially forfeit if a man with a gun from a three-letter agency deems it so. ICE has killed 9 this year. It's still January.

many of you are coming off the top rope for greg bovino, but you really don't need to do that. bottom rope is high enough

Well that's fucking stellar.

White men (like myself) were the last group of people who could count on the NRA to defend second amendment rights. Past tense. They have sided with the state in what was objectively an execution.

Safety just gave me a verbal for not wearing cut level 5 gloves at my plan table while typing out an email. The reason given? Paper cuts.

"... In totalitarian cases, people are compelled to respond to the state in the language it speaks. Where the state has ignored the people's words, it cannot overlook their weapons." - @jamesstout.bsky.social , Against The State

Sometimes I find myself pretty deep into random hillbilly guntuber territory on accident, and the amount of time these dudes spend referring to regular ass ammo as 'the good stuff' gives me a bit of hope.

"Welcome, new ice agents! Here is your $10k gear stipend . We're sending you to Minnesota in winter." Fuckin sweet! I'm gonna get some chocolate chip pants, a multicam tropic shirt, a drab plate carrier, and an m81 holster!

@socialistdogmom.bsky.social's open to this week's episode of Weird Little Guys made me absolutely lose my shit this morning. Just a big burly ass dude in a big burly ass truck full of tools driving down the highway sobbing and getting strange looks from other drivers.
