Man I love going to bed wondering what fresh hell I’ll wake up to after what nightmares. I’m trying to let my despair turn to righteous anger that fuels hopeful and persistent action in my local community, but it’s fucking hard sometimes, ya know?

these fucking idiots are going to let every fascist who trump discarded rehabilitate themselves as democrats. between this and george conway and eventually MTG the future is MAGA vs former MAGA as a controlled opposition party forever.

Kristi Noem Fired As DHS Secretary https://theonion.com/kristi-noem-fired-as-dhs-secretary/

Although I do love it when everything is clean and orderly I understand how people become hoarders because it causes me existential dread how many usable objects I am expected to throw in the trash on a daily basis as if this is just normal and fine

very aspect of life in this country is designed so that people do not form bonds or relationships with other people, it's wild to watch in action. Never seen divide and conquer applied this rigorously to a domestic population that is not under foreign occupation

I'm worried when Kristi Noem finds out she's been fired she's going to become America's first obedience school shooter.

The use of AI to identify targets (without subsequent specific human confirmation) should be considered a war crime. And by that I don't mean "we should make a rule" I mean that straightforward application of the existing rules would tell you that it is a war crime.

moshiach im here you fuckaas bitch

“Hey, what if we took a global socioeconomic system that only functions by a combination of violent coercion and market incentives and added a little sprinkle—a little soupçon if you will—a wee little market incentive to detonate a nuke? Just a little one. Would that be cool?”

Jesus Fucking Christ

Oh no not muh elite schools, put them back under the stairs where they belong.

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

The same way you don't want people bombing you and your loved ones is the same exact thing that other people feel where they live.

Truly a watershed of embarrassment for us.

Don’t forget about freedom toast

The kids don’t remember how the French refused to join the invasion of Iraq so everyone started calling French fries “freedom fries”. I’m not fucking joking.

The kids don't know about the Amanda Bynes poster hastily airbrushed to avoid implying she endorsed peace

Honestly I think the leadup to the Iraq war was worse than all this because the buy-in was so all-encompassing. I keep asking myself how anyone could fall for it again but the thing is, they mostly haven't

Direction doesn’t mean being told what to do. It means a course of action. It means not waiting for an imaginary elected leader or set of laws. No rescue is coming but the one we make though our own organizing and solidarity.

I saw a comment the said we aren’t “angry enough.” But all we are is angry. Our veins circulate it like acid. It cracks our sternums. It poisons and paralyzes us. We hiss and spit at each other, all impotent, helpless rage. We don’t need more anger. We need more direction.

A guilty pleasure. Definitely falls apart at the end.

we cannot keep voting for people who are perverts for war even our democrats are little perverts for war it needs to STOP

if they were courageous they would quit. there's nothing brave about killing kids at the whim of an irrational old pedophile

People overseas love their kids just as much as you love yours. Your kids aren’t more special just because they were born on US soil

It hummed aloud, surprise and dismay, another imitation human reaction.

Israel, immediately after vaporizing a bunch of little girls:

no war no borders no cops no prisons no to all of this shit

The last bit is actually important. Back then, opposing the War on Terror was fringe. Almost everyone was ok with the horrible shit going on until the economy collapsed in ‘07/08. There was no sympathy in the press for protesters and the bulk of the anti war movement also opposed direct action 1/3

I can’t believe I keep forgetting how bad the Bush years actually were. They had roundups and detentions and deportations. They had Guantanamo Bay. They had the PATRIOT Act. They had bombing and invading the countries right next door to Iran. But we weren’t allowed to call it fascism back then.

There should be an Earth for people who don't hate all living things

hey gen z welcome to republican governance

It's so inconsiderate of these people to keep dying in bombs and distracting from the vital task of American domestic politics

free note to everyone: you can just say we shouldn’t be bombing Iran rather than pretending this would be fine if Trump explained himself better

Echoing this, I know too many people who nobly and heroically cooked their brains watching Israel blow apart children for a few years and now they are functionally insane and blackpilled. Do not watch the footage of war crimes. You don't need to.

Barbara Lee, known for her stand in Congress against the “War on Terror,” is supporting a campaign to end shipments of military equipment destined for Israel out of Oakland's airport.

Holds up

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims. By @mckenziefunk.com @micarosenberg.bsky.social

Graham Platner is probably a Nazi or at best an antisemite, and we should stop making excuses for him.

if you’re a leftist, you need to understand how widespread it is for white supremacists & fascist conspiracy theorists to use populist language to advance their violent, bigoted agendas. they are not on your side. they do not get grace or uplifted due to being a broken clock.

people wondering "how we got here" consider John Yoo, who built the 'legal' framework for George W Bush's torture program, the Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law at Berkley University, is treated as a Respectable Source by the media when he should be rotting in prison for crimes against humanity

I really want to push back on the idea that people who flee the state where they live because of anti-trans laws are privileged because they were able to leave these are fucking refugees they are internally displaced people I have seen some of the most broke people Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I wish people would stop saying states should “just withhold federal taxes”. States don’t control federal taxes. Federal taxes are paid directly to the IRS by taxpayers, or else collected from wages by employers who then remit directly to the IRS. At no point do states have access to those funds.

The woman who saw a blind, lost man on her porch and immediately called the cops. The cops who beat and tasered him. The prosecutors who charged him. The ICE and CBP agents who dumped him miles from home, knowing he was blind and likely to get lost. They all have blood on their hands.
