This is the way Republicans used to talk about Obama

“expand the court”? no, shrink the court, to zero, no more court

How much of the past decade’s panic about college students being kind of annoying and politically unsophisticated in the same way they’ve always been came from the tastemaker class reaching middle age and only realizing that because they were romantically pursuing women in their 20s

They need more training so they know not to do things like this

Imperial boomerang: for centuries, Europeans have framed tech to protect against cold (fire, furnaces) as noble and good, while they’ve framed the warm climates they colonized as full of lazy people (Asians, Africans) and, thus, the need to use AC or fans as frivaloues, wasteful & unnecessary

This is indistinguishable from Republican rhetoric c. 2012

I also want to make a plea to people out there who have been mostly comfortable - if you have money and you have been mostly safe from what has been killing many of us, the fascism, the transphobia, the collapsed economy- please help us. I don't care if it's me, just someone. Please care for others.

Some people are way too comfortable sitting at the tables they’re supposed to flip.

Because insurance won't cover it and I can't get a loan for it, my top surgery is delayed to 17 September-- and I can't do it without you. Consider helping a gal out via the link below. Thank you for helping me reclaim my mountains ⛰️⛰️

It’s a good day to remember that laws are fake and only the violence of the state prevents you from just ignoring whatever bullshit the Grand Wizards of the supreme court have to say about things.

lol does this article really not mention that Clarence Thomas was in house counsel for Monsanto, the Roundup manufacturer?

Remember when people were protesting Dobbs at Supreme Court justices houses and the Democrats in Congress gave them funding for additional security?

I want you to think about the vocal response from the democrats over a portion of their party winning and succeeding and compare it to how they reacted to people getting thirty year jail sentences for handing out zines at a concentration camp

One of the many times when knowing queer history is absolutely important. This is the Mattachine Society's 1969 warning to working class queers, sex workers and trans women to cease the Stonewall riots. This is assimilationism, not someone putting on makeup.

Today's TPS decision is so fucking cruel because Haitians and Syrians followed all the rules that they were supposed to follow and now they're all of a sudden here "illegally" because a bunch of racists said so. I'm feeling so much fury on behalf of the many Haitians I know.

this is his gofundme btw. would encourage everyone else who can to chuck this fella a couple quid www.gofundme.com/f/get-artist...

"Labour" in bio

While I advise not unnecessarily getting visits from law enforcement, “don’t fedpost” is increasingly coming to mean “do stop posting perfectly legal things that might make the fascists angry” and I don’t think that’s good.

Democrats: (witnessing an inspiring display of organization and voter activation on the left wing of their otherwise feckless and impotent party) This attack on us will not stand.

Ian is Canadian. I, an Iraqi person living in Baghdad, got told on Bluesky by American liberals that Bill Kristol who actively advocated for my people's murder was a "good man" and that Blackwater that murdered people I actually knew "was not that bad".

If anyone talks about the Dem defeat in PA for the last presidential election and doesn’t at least mention this as a *potential* factor, you can safely ignore them

Turns out when they said "if you run radical socialists, voters are gonna run to the Republican party" they were talking about themselves

Winning elections in our crumbling fascist system but don't do or say anything about the anti-fascist political prisoners. Wonder how this is going to turn out! It's good to publicly discuss this so we aren't surprised by future actions.

Hey so this new KOSA/KIDS Act proposal has a little note in it that creates a whole new special Trump-appointed team to regulate the internet. So no more Congress votes. No more checks & balances. Just whoever the president picks to decide the future of YOUR internet. You aren’t mad enough.

They now feel empowered to do what they really want to do

Remember these draconian Prairieland sentences when people talk about the importance of using the criminal system for "justice." A system is what it does; nothing more.

hot take but if a democratic candidate won't explicitly commit to a full unconditional pardon on Day 1 for these heroes, then you should not vote for that candidate.

I'd be a lot more tolerant of experiments with bourgeois electoralism if humanity wasn't looking at mere decades until extinction. The clock is ticking and we don't have time to fuck around with a rigged system designed by capitalists to serve as a pressure release valve that prevents revolution.

thinking again of 2020 and its lessons: destroy the physical infrastructure that oppresses you; when you have them running keep them running; and above all, electoralism is a trap

I think this is clearly true

I'm a single issue voter and that single issue is seeing Stephen Miller behind bars. Prison, zoo, sure. Whatever works.

He shot a cop who was about to shoot someone in the back as they ran. Honestly the man deserves a fuckin medal and to never have to buy a drink again for the rest of his life.

One hopes none of this will stand up to appeal, but this is a clear display that whatever vestiges we were holding onto our gone, that's such a clear demonstration of how broken everything is. Stunning.

The state is trying to send a message to all those who stand against fascism. They will be successful if we let this silence us and convince us to stop fighting. Don't give in. Solidarity forever.

Absolutely everyone who did not speak out against encampment sweeps is to blame for the return of asylums — this is not *just* a Trump/RFK idea. Dem Mayors have been building this narrative for over a decade.

Republicans: *over everyone's objections, to thrash music, set the couch on fire, pour grape juice on the carpet, murder three kids in the living room, take an ax to every wall, blow a cow up in the kitchen, poops in the foyer* Republicans: Man, what a mess. This house sucks, I'm never coming back.

Periodic reminder that while most of the deadly aspects of my persecution happened under Trump's presidency, I was designated as a terrorist while Obama was still in the White House.

More people have been arrested for the deranged president's conspiracy theories around the algae in the reflecting pool than have been put behind bars for the Epstein crimes and the architects of the 2008 Financial Collapse combined.

This man has written for @theatlantic.com and @thenyt.bsky.social, his views are more acceptable in elite society than yours.

Far harsher sentences than the worst J6ers, who are free today: “Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys who was convicted of seditious conspiracy, was sentenced to 22 years in prison. Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the far-right group the Oath Keepers, was sentenced to 18 years in prison.”

So much reporting (including, shamefully, movement reporting) on Prairieland picks Champagne out as the "bad" protestor. Because they were armed. Because they shot a cop. Nevermind the fact that, more likely than not, that it was Champagne's quick reflexes that meant that no one died that day.

Full pardon for these and everyone else charged for interactions with DHS and also promise to cut them a check to compensate them for their pain and suffering. Anything less signals approval of all of this

This is about as bad an outcome as we could get at this stage. It's incumbent on all of us to support these prisoners in every way we can. If you oppose ICE, this could be you. Never think for a second that the state won't do this to you. prairielanddefendants.com www.givesendgo.com/supportDFWpr...

30 years for moving a box of zines

The absurd cruelty against the Prairieland defendants is the sign of a regime terrified of the level of resistance it's already facing and losing badly. The rest of us must keep solidarity with those facing the worst of its evils and continue the struggle anyway. We are going to win.

Sentencing as terrorism
