If he wants to declare martial law, he will. It won't be based on reality. I don't know why some people continue to say: "be peaceful or he'll invoke martial law." Are you all living in this country in 2026???? Haven't you seen them make things up out of whole cloth???? Are you 10 years old?

the DSA, the Federal Reserve, and the ladies who lunch have formed a popular front — it remains only to see if any elected Democrats will join them.

Every major institution has been so useless for the last year that I'm ready to paint my face like william wallace for anybody who just plainly states exactly what we all know to be true

The entire contingent of ICE agents are in mpls and surrounding areas going door to door what “greater force” are you talking about

The endgame of the patriot act is here

It’s been such a long long five years

Chanting, "MPD! KKK! ICE, they're all the same!"

NO - dashare.zone ADMIN

The fundamental lie that immigrants are more criminal than American-born people is the fuel for the whole enterprise — and that enterprise is as strong as it is because Democrats have consistently helped *also* fuel this lie.

I used to be like this and had to unlearn this way of thinking and relearn to understand not everyone is aware of what I’m aware of or know what I know.

This, like the flat and possibly declining price of oil, shows how we're in a phantom economy. Businesses saw a way to lie about layoffs without worrying investors, so they lied. All those big big numbers making line go up are a fantasy.

the entire administration is making content for twitter nazis and they are convinced that those twitter nazis are genuinely representative of the vast majority of american sentiment they believe all the election conspiracies and think the country is 80-20 in their favor

They don’t have the juice or manpower for it. This is not late 1930s Germany. There is no state monopoly on media. They are wildly unpopular.

No one becomes a LEO to serve their community anymore, man. The good-natured officer twirling his whistle as he walks down main street greeting kids & old ladies by name was a fantasy of the 50's. 75 years later, the best you hope for is that their SS tattoos aren't visible while they're in uniform.

Desperate to make a world good enough that politics stops being everyone’s personality

Jacob Frey is the white Pete Buttigieg

And it'll work until a Governor decides to send in the NG to hold them accountable. What if the NG stands down, you ask? Well it's better to find that out now instead of pretending someone is coming to save you

I’m 100% for it but that would mean the complete breakdown of society as we know it, just a total retreat into warlordism. Which is where we are headed barring a global war, to be clear, but that’s why they don’t do it.

what do you call it when a rogue armed government agency tells an elected official they dont care if theyre breaking the law

The moment that anybody outside the DHS apparatus gets inside one of these facilities without cleaning up beforehand, we're going to see things that even the most hardened and cynical among us can barely comprehend.

I don’t think they’re misreading them so much as they are terrified of the implications because it means the status quo has to break. there’s no incrementalism for this. mass radicalization of this scale scares Democrats more than anything Republicans could do and I mean that literally.

every time liberal politicians give their big "stay OUT of our state/city ICE! you are not welcome here!" they never DO anything and ICE runs roughshod over the people, its because they know if they TRIED to order cops to resist ICE, theyd be told "you're not in charge, WE'RE in charge"

Is that actually where we are at? Because if you mean that then we are just pretending about America right now and we need to be saying/doing other things.

They’re snatching them and where are they taking these people? Where are they afterwards? Never hearing from them again.

I have to be honest. this isn't meant to downplay the seriousness of what's happening now, and this isn't meant to be glib. But this is also how ALL cops act. The first time I got screamed at like this by a cop, I was 16, because of a traffic jam in the school parking lot. Every single one of them

the reason ICE is bad is that they are cops and cops are all bastards

i made a helpful reference

Now that it's been a day or so the Discourse is settling in and I gotta say it's real whatever to be reading the same tweets from 2020, 2018, 2016, 2014 just kinda dredged out. There's protests every time and every time it all just goes in the hole.

I wrote a book about ancient Christian martyrdom and this is really sticking with me the stories of martyrs emphasized their righteousness and self-control in the face of state authorities who lacked both early Christians sought to train themselves to replicate that way of being from the stories

I can't help but think of Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner, and how Schwerner's last recorded words before being shot were reportedly, "Sir, I know just how you feel."

There are a lot of "why would this far right outlet release this damning footage of the murder?" comments out there and, to be blunt, they're gloating. They expect him to get away with it. They're going to do everything in their power to make sure they get away with it. It's a declaration of war.

"bearing witness" is the dumbest most online nonsense concept ive ever heard. if you feel like you absolutely need to traumatize yourself for personal beatification do it by going to a protest and getting teargassed by the cops rather than sitting alone watching snuff at home for no reason

He has died

When you make fun of dcs new trans characters and her outfit, remember: DC execs probably won't see it but your friends who dress like shit definitely will

we have to reconcile ourselves to the fact that the other side is irredeemably evil. they’ve made their choice that they don’t want to live in a society or even be human anymore. they want anyone who disagrees with them dead & they want a medal for pulling the trigger

The same when they killed Sonya Massey in her kitchen. "Fkng Bitch" www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2rM...

The people cosplaying as the reasonable and kind bigots are a subtler and more pernicious enemy and we cannot believe what they’re saying when we know what they’re doing. Do not hug the guy whose job is to terrorize you and your most vulnerable neighbors.

Been thinking about this a bit lately and I think the truth is the reason neither walz nor frey will do this because they understand implicitly that even though they're nominally in charge of their police forces, ordering them to confront their own will reveal that power to be a lie.

Can't be overstayed that fascism relies heavily on the promise of easy victory and starts falling apart as the going gets tough. It's an alienating and selfish ideology and as a result you cannot get anyone to sacrifice for fascism

The most antisocial animating force in American politics - whether you’re being shot in the face by a republican or yelled at online by a liberal - is crybullying. Just an unbelievably excruciating nation of crybullies yearning for victimhood

Man, finally playing sonic cross worlds. Can’t believe the “too many items in Mario kart winning is rng” crowd flocked to this game it’s shockingly bad. Great game otherwise.

They did a whole “No Kings” thing but we still have a king. What’s up with that??

I gotta tell you it really doesn’t see like we’re gonna vote our way outta this one. It will end, one way or another, but whoof the Wikipedia section is gonna be depressing.

Authoritarians use performative lying to mark who is for, and more importantly, against their regimes. The point isn’t determining truth. The point is creating an ingroup whose loyalty is assured through ritually denying reality and an easily recognizable outgroup that refuses the delusion.

Nobody has proven themselves to be as pathetic as their critics claim as Tim Walz. Turns out you can just bully him into not running for re-election by spreading medieval antisemitic canards about a minority group in his state, then shoot a constituent in the face and he’ll do nothing.

why are we paying 40% of our municipal taxes to the people protecting ice while they kill us

They shoulda nabbed him yesterday because he’s walking. Great job Frey/Walz.
