The destruction of the East Wing is a reminder that America has violated the only check-and-balance that actually ends up mattering: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-only-c...

People are still talking about elections in 2028 like a) they'll happen and b) actually will impact anything. He already stole the 2024 election to get where he is now 🙃 People who think you can vote your way out of fascist authoritarianism are wild.

No one should EVER monitor Nazi space without a strong support network that can check them regularly and watch for signs that the propaganda is taking hold, and address that reality promptly. Without a rock solid accountability network, it is playing with fire.

Turns out “who’s going to stop me?” is a bigger question than ”is it legal?”

The DC ACLU is suing on behalf of a man who was arrested by a National Guardsman and MPD officers for playing the Imperial March (from Star Wars) as an act of protest. www.acludc.org/app/uploads/...

"Pity the nation whose leaders are liars."

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

My friend told me that her 14 year old son started doing laundry on Sundays for some of his elderly neighbors. He doesn't charge for the labor. And now he is the most popular person in the building and has non stop pies, cookies, and cake. The 14 year old should be our model of modern masculinity.

The person with a tattoo peeking out from under their mask is Jaren Huber of the Rose City Nationalists. We wrote about his involvement with RCN here: cvantifa.noblogs.org/post/2024/07... and his involvement with White Lives Matter Oregon here: cvantifa.noblogs.org/post/2024/09...

I confess that I have been having the thought “the right thing would be to overthrow him today and leave the White House broken •forever• as a reminder of our mistake”, which of course rhymes with what I felt we shoulda done with with the site of the WTC.

and under no circumstances should you call it the Ghislaine Corridor to the Epstein Ballroom, that is ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Phew managed to make it another day without getting a nazi tattoo. It’s hard out here. Just nazi tattoos roaming the streets attaching themselves to people. Stay woke

The management committee of the Conservative Party of British Columbia has lost confidence in Leader John Rustad and asked him to resign, but he says he intends to stay. thetyee.ca/News/2025/10...

Is THIS part of why it is under my skin?

apparently it’s time for another reminder that straight white men also have identity politics, *even the ones on the left*, and we are seeing that very much in action with regards to the Pod Save America bros defending fellow bro Graham Platner

I'll die on the hill that straight white male identity politics should be known as fratriarchy and that most any other identity politics can be understood as a response to its abjections

If you like to cook, I highly recommend making Ethiopian food. You can make it vegan/dairy free, people like it, every recipe makes tons, and it's pretty cheap. If you live near an Ethiopian market, you can buy a lot of the spice mixes premade.

Nazism has alwasy circled around American politics in weird ways. In 1985, Ronald Reagan laid a wreath at a German cemetery where Nazis were buried while saying they "were victims, just as surely as the victims in the concentration camps."

The people of New York bravely stood up to ICE.

An NDP private member’s bill would require airlines to pay flight attendants for all hours worked before and after takeoff. The unpaid-work issue was at the heart of a three-day strike that disrupted Canadian air travel this summer. thetyee.ca/News/2025/10...

For my forever Space Sis: 🎂 💞

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

✊

Hold up Santos... some non-Trump pardonable state charges may be in your bright future.

I don't personally care about what the man is doing. But this is what would be happening.

Since I know that everyone is thinking it, if Biden had demolished the WH based on his own whims, Fox News would have a permanent chryon calling for impeachment forever... and RW media would NOT LET UP.

“As the [Canal St.] operation carried on, agents were confronted with a spontaneous and growing crowd of counter-demonstrators, who heckled them to leave New York City and called them Nazis.” www.thecity.nyc/2025/10/21/i...

Lol, the dude literally had time to get it covered up and instead decided to go on a podcast and talk about it????

We can learn from social movements in other countries. If your initial instinct is to dismiss them by saying the conditions are too different then you're just doing an American exceptionaliam. Find the similarities. Borrow the tactics that make sense. Modify them to fit your needs.

It's funny, the no kings protests could be the best chace to normalize the idea of nationwide strikes in the US, if the organizers are serious. They do maybe 2 more on weekends to really lock them into people's practice, then say, "hey, let's show them we really mean business & do it on a Wednesday"

Remind me what usually happens when a right-wing populist builds an extrajudicial, unconstitutional private army

Gentle reminder that polls don't gauge what is ethical or just. A poll about how "most Americans" feel about trans healthcare is simply a way to understand how effective media and religious campaigns have been in their transphobia.

If prisons don't create true accountability, then what does? Restorative justice. It challenges us to ask: What would it look like to make things as right as possible and open up a path towards repairing the relationship where someone was harmed? Read more about restorative justice circles here 🔗

The Treasury Department instructed employees not to share to share photos of the demolition of parts of the White House’s East Wing

You know I'm something of a Halloween decoration myself theonion.com/home-depot-i...

A visual analogy of what Trump is doing to our democracy.

Pairs well with The Single Most Explanatory Essay

❝ weirded-out by the world I'm living in, which increasingly resembles the backstory from a dystopian 1970s SF novel in which two-fisted billionaires colonize space in order to get away from the degenerate second-hander rabble downstairs who want to survive [⋯] natural disasters ❞

The AWS outage today is a good reminder that there is no "cloud", there's just somebody else's computer.

This is vile, not only because of the idea (no LLM can know what I want) but also because of the cavalier attitudes to patients' wishes in general here.

I barely survived 2020-2023, where I nearly drank myself to death in the darkness of my apartment. I was able to pull myself out of it and into sobriety, barely. Late capitalism, climate change, and American fascism drag us into hell, and rebellion must include hope for a future not yet realized

i think it's like the weird corporate obstinance over work-from-home; in the end, control and hierarchy are more important to these people than any specific ideology, and they'll commit or ignore any sin to preserve those things

Here's a little history of notable general strikes: 1/x 🧵 Why is May 1 Workers' Day? On 1 May 1886, nationwide general strike for 8-hour day, w/hundreds of thousands of workers throughout the US. In Chicago, protests against police escalated into the Haymarket riot, w/hanging of 8 organizers.

3 days of a general strike would cripple the US economy. Union rules apply, if everyone does it together, they can't fire everyone for doing it. Italy just managed one that was hugely successful. the US has done it before. General strike now!! #political

Art is fundamentally incompatible with free-market capitalism. I will die on this hill.

Guess it's the perfect time to remind people that Pablo Picasso was one of main suspects when the Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre in 1911 www.artsy.net/article/arts...

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

We just live in a john carpenter movie now.
