This is how propaganda works. They slapped an image on this from Los Angeles in 1992 during Rodney King riots.

wizard frog is insane

Not only can states prosecute felonious federal officials, it is a tactic that has been championed by some on the right, as I discuss here.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement? The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy. At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

TGI(stfu)F. Learn the script.

It was a bunch of people praying and singing. Local cops cleared a path for a fascist propaganda op and then assisted federal forces in brutalizing protesters. Those are the facts.

Illinois state police and Cook County sheriffs just pushed protesters (and journalists) off the sidewalk and into private property near the Broadview ICE facility, some stomping/kicking protesters stuff. Attitudes vary between joy and lackluster requests people move.

I frequently see people asking what "trans rights are human rights" means. Like dogg if they can go after people for something as vague as gender nonconformity then you are never safe or comfortable or free no matter who you are.

The power of the people

In a city of world-class artists and production crew hunting for the next gig, Andrew Cuomo made a TV ad the same way he wrote his housing policy: with AI. Then again, maybe a fake Cuomo is better than the real one?

I wasn't planning on showing up Sat night until I saw this video. Fuck these out of town motherfuckers coming into Chicagoland terrorizing us. They will charge at you, throw you to the ground, then charge you with a felony *for talking.* It's the highest risk protest environment I've ever seen but

devolver should change their name to this they are leaving money on the table fans will love it total gremlins pay jacob for the rights file the paperwork and throw a ™️ on the end or whatever you gotta do

Dude if the Democratic Party has a place for anti-trans and anti-abortion candidates then I’m not a democrat and I won’t vote for one I don’t know what to tell you man, there’s already a political party who believes these things It’s not a “big tent” to have zero fixed values in pursuit of power

here’s my one weird trick as a nonbinary trans woman to make cis people instantly use they/them pronouns! i tell cis people who are struggling that my pronouns are only she/her 🙃 bam! instantly cis ppl can now use they/them with perfect fluidity! lick & subscrib 4 moar pro tips!!

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

It's not just bribery. He's now using personal litigation, backed by state extortion, to extract "settlements" which he then puts into an account he created to spend on government work, all entirely outside of Congress taxing or appropriating. It's full Charles I illegal taxation and spending.

If trans rights get taken away then that opens the door for them to take away others’ rights also. Saying trans rights are human rights is not hyperbole or an exaggeration because you know it’s not so don’t leave anything to chance. especially when dealing with legitimately gleefully evil people.

my main career compass has been to avoid my work hours empowering world-ruining ultra rich people, around moral distress and right livelihood. I cannot fathom the stress of 14,500 people finding out their job now enriches people who shattered Unity's good will, Jared Kushner, and Mohammed bin Salman

Joy is an act of resistance under fascism. Practising joy does not mean you’re refusing to acknowledge the horrors. Help and protect your communities, support mutual aid when able, and continue doing the things you love.

Your reminder that they cannot arrest millions of people no matter how hard they try. They lack the infrastructure, they lack the personnel, and the economy would straight-up collapse They are going to try to scare us by making examples out of a few people, and our job is to not fall for it

We absolutely cannot give up on calling these fucking companies and telling them their policies are fucking stupid.

This is absolutely BRILLIANT They didn't listen to our feedback, now we need to ESCALATE Bsky is at 3.4⭐ - let's see how quick we can tank that! Don't know what to write? Copy/paste mine or use it as a starting point! #SaveSpeech #BskyCensorship

I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.

Hey! Someone figured it out!!

Autism is brand new and has never existed before the modern era. Unrelated, Beethoven created music of dazzling complexity while struggling his whole life with social dynamics or fitting into society

BREAKING Italy has dispatched a second naval vessel to protect the Global Sumud Flotilla, following Israeli drone strikes on the aid convoy in international waters. Spain has also deployed a warship, bringing the total number to three as the civilian fleet continues its course toward Gaza.

they'd show 45 guys getting their skin peeled off like a wet potato before they let two dudes kiss or a trans personally generally exist

see how settled science suddenly gets turned into something unclear as soon as conservatives make it a political issue? this has happened on dozens of issues.

for anyone unfamiliar with how russia does things (coincidental, I'm sure) like in the headlines an important rich person who said the wrong thing about putin "fell from a window and died" you're supposed to be able to know they're lying, that's part of how they assert you can't do anything about it

New - “Hundreds of federal employees who lost their jobs in Elon Musk’s cost-cutting blitz are being asked to return to work.” www.cnn.com/2025/09/24/p...

Every day I think about how we have essentially allowed a major piece of infrastructure to be destroyed by scams due to poor consumer protection, enforcement, and regulation - it feels like the dead canary in the coal mine for a lot of our current day problems

New: For @msnbc.com I wrote abt Trump’s absurd EO declaring antifa a “domestic terror org” I trace history of MAGA manufacturing antifa bogeyman to both distract from v real far right violence, & to create a pretext for vigilantes & police to target the wider left www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

This one goes out to everyone who said Itchio should "just" switch to a special high-risk payment processor for adult content 🙃

Right now, there are hundreds of translators for hundreds of different languages all attempting to make a Donald Trump speech sound coherent in real time.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Happy one year anniversary to this banger tweet that got so ridiculously blown out of proportion that it got us 70k wishlists in like a day

I think if you're GWAR, having Libs of TikTok introduce you to her entire dingbat audience is probably the best thing that could possibly happen

If they will lie about the risks of pregnant women taking paracetamol, why the fuck would you trust them on trans people? On the economy? On Gaza? On literally anything?

Hilarious. My bank can just do a stop payment at my request though. That's free. That takes 15 minutes on the phone. And it actively harms them because payment processors do NOT like when you get a stop payment order placed against you. What you do with this information is between you and God.

"Next FDR" is available to the first Democrat with guts right now

The degree to which you misrepresent the study you're reporting on is astonishing. This graph is from that study: 94.6-98.4% of all youth trans participants turned out to be trans at the end, not 80%. And SEGM, who you quote as an authority here, is an SPLC-recognized anti-trans hate group.
