indeed, fascism is internal colonisation. it is the application of colonial police methods to the metropolitan subjects of a failing empire. Colonial officer Franco was the OG. Trump is doing a great job of bringing home the terror that the US imposed on Latin America, Asia and Africa for 150 years.

i often think about this review

Not really sure how you can see Evelyn Normielib (D, Texas) setting fire to a facility that might have the possibility of becoming an ICE concentration camp and despair about how Dem primary voters are gonna pick Gavin "We are Charlie Kirk" Newsom as the nominee

get the kid in the brown hoodie a scholarship

"you're gonna get in trouble for that" *stone-faced* "okay" goddamn son

LIVE NOW! Abolish ICE, Abolish the Border Join @harshawalia.bsky.social, @silkys13.bsky.social, & @reallandsend.bsky.social of @deathpanel.bsky.social for a discussion on the brutal enforcement of immigration policing in Minneapolis and beyond. Stream here:

I watched last night and these are three of the smartest people on the planet from whom I have learned a lot. If you listen, you'll learn too.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

ICYMI: I introduced my Trans Bill of Rights with @markey.senate.gov — legislation to defend trans people across this country as Republicans continue to push anti-trans rhetoric and bills. To our beloved trans community: We see you, we love you, and we will always stand with you.

There’s a direct line from capitalism’s worship of $$ to these people doing the most depraved things imaginable. And as gods, they have their army & their disciples running around protecting them & supporting them. Honestly this is as much abt where our culture is as it is abt these horrible humans.

As with most sexual crimes this’s abt power, but different from demonstrating power over a single person. This’s abt violating taboos (as you point out) &laws to show absolute power over humanity. They want to elevate themselves to godlike status. And considering the lack of repercussions it worked.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

And fitness influencers, and comedians, and teachers, and…

The freakin’ audacity of this person posting this B.S.! …no way those were $7!!

Formerly "not political" people in 2026:

It's so much easier to not take online bad takes seriously now that I have kids. People just say stuff because they're silly gooses. I don't get mad anymore I just chuckle and go "what a silly goose"

It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea

the minute the fb algorithm clocks you as a straight man it immediately sets about trying to destroy your life & endanger those around you

For my money, the way thousands of regular people are self-organizing to resist data centers is one of the most cautiously hopeful stories going right now. www.themountaineer.com/news/no-cryp...

Best advertisement I’ve seen so far at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival

We need to be drawing the connection to how pedophilia and other forms of abuse are the inevitable products of a belief system that says that men own their wives and children www.liberalcurrents.com/we-need-to-t...

NEW: Group sending Canadian right-wing media personalities on free trips to Israel quietly funded by Israeli government Documents unearthed by @pressprogress.ca show Israel's foreign ministry granted the Exigent Foundation $175,000 CAD to bring "Canadian influencers and policymakers" to Israel

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

"I can't believe there are so many pedophiles!" There aren't. But there are so many — infinitely more than these files show — who have run out of taboos to break and so will visit that one.

When your life is spent chasing dopamine through domination to avoid healing the colonial trauma within your soul, your tolerance will keep going up.

it really can't be said enough that this is a person who has dined with the president of the united states

Fuentes then fantasizes about “breeding gulags”: “So just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women… They go to the breeding gulags. The good ones will be liberated. The bad ones will toil in the mines forever.”

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

Asking ChatGPT for relationship and sex advice is like asking it to do (physical) exercises for you. Banger. Excellent message!

Toronto Sun columnist Warren Kinsella is posting fake CBC News Network screenshots on X dot com falsely claiming CBC is using terms like "policepersons" and "gunperson"

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

worth reading to the end

Just to underscore: Trans people, we aren't "issues". Me, I'm not an "ideology". I'm a human, like anyone else. The only "ideology" here is those bigots who use such rhetoric in their effort to dehumanize trans people — because they want us gone.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Babe, wake up, new sarcastic but entirely worthwhile internet abbreviation just dropped

again: what’s it like working in healthcare during a federal occupation? i implore comrades of #medsky 🩺and to a certain extent #lawsky ⚖️ to pay attention to what they’re doing to us here & over prepare as much as feasible

"It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files. (US Attorney General) Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched." - Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).

Once again: people are angry for very good reason, and this brand of post is perhaps one of the most tedious and bewildering. Practically every social media platform is rabidly pro-‘AI’ so are govts, academia, companies. This one small space being critical of AI is okay, I think.

Direct quote from my 4yo: "I think all the boys are the kings, and all the girls are the queens, and the government is the dirty rascal."

When you see a famous person saying something silly, try this technique: ask them to talk about something good and cool instead

SHE REMOVED THEIR WEDDING PHOTO LMAOOOOOO Oh she HATED his guts

I find this question about whether chatbots are “alive” to be truly, truly boring. You can torture a definition of “life” so that it includes chatbots or you can listen to actual, unequivocal flesh-and-blood people talking about harm it does them *right now*.

Weird how they're never releasing lists of diseases cured by AI or landfills cleaned by AI

Weird how CEO is never on these lists

Local racists may think diseases are confined to detainees, but concentration camps are perfect environments for spreading a mixed stew of infections — including to guards and staff who then spread the germs to the surrounding communities. Yet another reason to close the camps.

One thing that helps is that legitimately not caring what the strangers in my phone think, I just put the little pocket computer away and let y'all argue with yourselves and I come back tomorrow and it's gone
