When I was young, I wondered how far we could get in my lifetime towards luxury gay space communism. Now I'm just hoping that I live long enough to see a time when it's once again an affront to society to abet a genocide.

there’s a subset of people who, if you point out something bad happening now, will basically reply “it was always like this and anyone who disagrees is just privileged.” it parades as savvy but nine times out of ten it’s just an ahistorical oversimplification.

since we're letting podcasters run the FBI now, I'd like to make it known to any future presidents that if you appoint me i will pronounce the "human" in "human trafficking" like Quark from DS9. there will be no other substantial changes thank you for your attention to this matter

like, i don't really know how to adequately express the anger that i feel watching this video. not showing your face, lazily teargassing random people on a neighborhood street without getting out of your car - the image says more about these goons than i could articulate bsky.app/profile/clan...

The fact that both the WSJ and the Guardian have retracted their trans and leftist stories related to the shooter and now a day later a new one is being formed about a possible "trans roommate or lover" shows how desperate they are to pin this on someone who is LGBTQ+

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

I cited actual Kirk quotes where he calls Black women less intelligent, demonizes me for being Muslim, & dehumanizes LGBTQ people—& his supporters are upset at me for “speaking evil of the dead.” If quoting him is “speaking evil” maybe ask yourself why you followed someone who believed evil things.

A new mural by elusive street artist Banksy showing a judge beating an unarmed protester with a gavel will be removed from a wall outside one of London’s most iconic courts, authorities said Monday.

Check out the MASSIVE crowd in DC marching to the White House to protest the federal takeover of the city! #FreeDC!

I'm kind of shocked that anyone is still proposing technocratic solutions to the "debate" over immigration. Even if this were a good idea (and it is not), Republican elites and media will never tell their base about it. You can't policy your way out of a propaganda problem!

If you are at the US Open and in the audience while Trump is there: 1. Please BOO him. Boo him like you're from NY, even if you're not. 2. Record it. Record all of it. 3. Post it to every social media platform you can think of.

To reiterate; This is how the Guardian describes a tweet that advocates assaulting trans women; “Posts on transgender issues”

What even is the opinion here, "we would like the federal government to be run by totally different people with an entirely different agenda"? All of the blame and agency is placed on local officials, not the deranged authoritarian calling in militarized forces under false pretenses.

Real evil shit.

“I keep seeing these memes where Indians are bragging about taking our tech jobs,” said Ely, 36. “So I said, ‘Oh yeah? Well I’m going to work with these guys that are going to arrest you, slam your face on the pavement and send you home.’” wapo.st/3VrzEJg

I no longer see job listings in any of the areas that I used to find employment in that aren't centered around AI. Unemployed 2 years now. People are debating this fucking topic like it's theoretical, but it's ruining people's lives in real time as you debate minor points on the issue.

I hope your community is never occupied like LA or DC. But if it is, you’ll quickly find that people don’t take kindly to having their city under federal control. And folks are just getting started. 📌 Protesters gathered near a checkpoint in the U Street corridor in Northwest Washington.

Apparently 15,000 people have signed up to be on the next Freedom Flotilla. Piers Morgan said Greta Thunberg was just doing a publicity stunt. Chris Smalls was ignored by mainstream media despite the racist attacks by the IOF. Seems like the whole world wants to stop Israel's forced starvation

this dc situation looks pretty horrible. i wish i had more to say except that autocracy is always mundane and petty and vicious and encourages you to look away and be safe. and you can live quite normally under it until you're a direct target
