“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

I think the funniest possible thing we could do is start misinterpreting Charlie Kirk's statements (where possible) to be progressive and revolutionary. I agree, Comrade Kirk. Abolish DHS.

Greetings! I’m here on 26th and Nicolette by the Alex Pretti vigil. Minnesota Police are telling vigil goers they can’t block the street. Vigil goers are telling MPD they are going to block the street. I wouldn’t call it a standoff so much as an impasse.

courage consists entirely of acting violently, not acting in such a way that might expose yourself to violence.

I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage

*They'll all mellow out when Claude-for-Living persuades them to be less abrasive

They genuinely find it unthinkable that people would die to defend their homes (despite masturbatory fantasies of doing it themselves) which is why they all encourage defeatism and believe in conspiracy theories about NATO troops actually being the ones to fight the Russians

Feels like Deputy Stowers goes through a lot of pepper spray

Although I shouldn't be surprised. Even today you see the right link any progressives with Nazis regardless how much sense that makes. The "real" Nazis are always the ones trying to change the status quo, not the people cheering on masked agents of the state hauling people to concentration camps.

Weird reading about how segregationists described the civil rights actions of the Eisenhower Administration, which were quite moderate, by using terms like Hitler, Nazis and storm troopers. Like some of these guys fought in Europe. They must have seen what the Nazis were like...right?

once every six months or so I’ll post something of Facebook even though the fascist algo over there always kills any engagement. anyway, posted this tonight.

Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world

… rather than allow their communities to be polluted by abolitionist literature. Whites who were suspected of being less than fully committed to white supremacy could be driven out of town, tarred and feathered, or lynched.

And, tonight, the network's flagship news program -- 60 Minutes -- ran a clip show of old celeb interviews to "celebrate the movies" rather than put together an episode focused on what's going on in Minnesota.

the other day my 8yo said Spanish was his third language. then he counted "uno, dos, tres..." all the way up to "nueve" and then said "uh, i forget." i said "diez?" and this kid straight up replied "diez nuts"

This is the single funniest excuse he could have come up with for not wanting to be booed in public

Also from this post below: bsky.app/profile/flee... Not an historian AT ALL, just interested, but I have the impression that James Whitmer's 2017 book was influential: www.amazon.com/Hitlers-Amer... Apologies if I'm treading on anyone's turf. I grew up in the South in the 1960s ...

It's important to remember that climate change is one of the arguments put forward by the White House as to why we need Greenland.

The fact that he not only said this but then went and posted it himself. Bring back shame.

Have a good Burns Night everyone. The first in which we can see him through the eyes of one of Scotland's greatest painters, Henry Raeburn.

I wish I’d never seen or heard of this disgraceful, despicable man. What a COLOSSAL DISAPPOINTMENT he turned out to be. I keep telling myself the stroke did it. That it’s brain damage. Only brain damage could turn someone into THIS MUCH OF AN ASSHOLE. youtube.com/shorts/hxV0S...

Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

The regime is really going with “he was there” as a rationale for summary execution. In the meantime, the President is ranting about how he already ordered lights for his ballroom & can’t change them now. I’m not sure how much more failed a state can be than America right now.

“He had a gun!” the insane hypocrites screamed.

Gov. Mikie Sherrill: "This is about a basically Stasi-type force of secret police that wear masks, that are unidentifiable, that are unaccountable, that have leadership in the Trump administration blatantly lying about what's going on"

I keep thinking about this fact that his last words were are you okay and hers were I'm not mad at you and it feels like a weird coincidence but it's just a reflection of the fact that the people who are coming out to take care of their neighbors are good and the people who are after them are bad

Happy birthday to Peter Coyle. Here he is with The Lotus Eaters performing The First Picture Of You on Switch in 1983. Watch the full song plus Out On Your Own at youtu.be/8Y4y7dHTKYY

The Labour Party will shit on you, no matter how hard you work for them.

He was a nurse, American, law abiding etc etc, your reaction shouldn’t be any different if he wasn’t any of those things

It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

oh no, i looked into the void and the void looked back

THE UTTER FUCKING NERVE OF "POCKET NAZI" GREG BOVINO AND ICE BARBIE CALLING THEIR MASKED AND MURDEROUS THUGS "LAW ENFORCEMENT." THESE LAWLESS SHITPIGS ARE ANYTHING BUT. I EXPLAIN IT ALL IN TODAY'S SUPER-ANGRY POST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER, LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/4rau7ol

Bolsonaro supporters protesting and demanding that he is set free got hit by a lightning bolt, 3 persons are in hospital now.

After his war crimes in Venezuela and threats against Greenland, Donald Trump has raged at not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, with some questioning whether it is driving his foreign policy. Trump is, however, the exact kind of person the Nobel is usually awarded to, let me explain

Linehan's Arsehole Era continues

1. Wasn’t at a protest 2. Was disarmed when they shot him while he was face down 3. New gun rights rule: the second amendment is when conservatives can carry guns everywhere, but if anyone else has a gun we can kill him on sight bsky.app/profile/atru...

I know there's been some confusion about the matter of 2A and Christian and White Nationalism, so I've put together this handy Venn Diagram to clear things up: #satire

Things are so bad that the Minnesota prison system has had to launch a website specifically to combat DHS lies. The first major release from DOC officials suggests Gregory Bovino outright lied about the target of the Border Patrol operation during which agents shot and killed Alex Pretti.

LA County sheriffs created and maintained a "gang" database of people they'd stopped and frosted, even children, but most of them were Black or Hispanic/Latino. It's similarly not illegal to drive while Black, and yet —

Source: I have a divorced dad.

My earnest guess to explain at least some of this: Most of these dudes give off obvious divorced dad vibes. Their former wives likely bought them jeans that fit correctly. They don’t have that anymore, and shopping for clothes that fit isn’t masculine.
