One Post After Another (2025)

I think Trump should be deported to Antarctica.

The emerging narrative from the people who worked for Biden seems to be "we debased ourselves repeatedly and violated our own laws for Israel and Israel won't even say thank you".

I can’t shake the feeling that what has happened to Will is a continuation of the cultural shift that’s led to the Ground News craze. The American people are psyopped into believing that the journalists who spent tens of thousands in college to get to their stations are actually evil people.

"We don't talk to journalists except for the cool ones, one of which is me" is functionally indistinguishable from an exclusivity deal that prevents Bloodborne from being released on PC

It's so insane that the guy I used to meme around with on twitter is the start of the chain that led this to happen

Absolutely fucking wild that this is now libcoded.

I think a lot of people are not realizing that in like 7-8 years it will be a badge of honor to have been arrested by ICE

My guess is the attacks on Fort and Lemon were from the Christian protection task force that Trump set up and we all thought was a joke.

An entire generation of people raised on social media simply do not have an understanding of how the media, protests, and surveillance work. My hottest take is that masks at protests are cowardly and have done absolutely nothing but make all protests themselves look unserious to neutral parties.

In theater. So they think they’re at war.

The Left still has refused to embrace the politics of image. Image is vital, and we as a bloc just refuse to accept it.

I do think that Americans don’t actually understand how much we like our country, despite how much it might seem the opposite

If I never hear "I'm more like an isolationist, tbh," again it'll be too soon.

It’s so weird to me that American fascism in the modern age looks like naked corruption/bribery, bombing absolutely everywhere, and public endorsements of taking the bill of rights away from the people and there are a significant # of Americans that are still largely okay with it.

I’ve been really struggling for a while and feeling like I can’t think or feel anything and I think it was that video. I think that video really messed me up. Please take care of yourself, remember to just slow down and take time for yourself.

I think one of the biggest problems we have going forward is that any system by which we try to bring democratic values back to the citizens will be largely experimental. I don't think we can wait for the kids to grow up, we have to reeducate the adults.

The federal government is going to have to give reparations to Minnesota.

MN Sec of State's response: "Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon has issued the following statement in response. “The answer to Attorney General Bondi’s request is no." There's more text, but that's the meat of it. www.sos.mn.gov/about-the-of...

There is a very soft underbelly at the heart of this fascist movement and Minneapolis stuck a knife in it and twisted.

I just spent all day arguing in gun spaces online and I got way too many responses to the effect of "Why protest/riot obstruct"? Like they were genuinely confused.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Kudos to the NYT editor who took “Appears to” out of the lead headline (finally)

I think I finally understand the whole reeducation thing

These monsters are sick.

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

I'm glad that neoliberalism is being unambiguously disassembled, I just hate the way that it's being done. The society that emerges from this has got to be centered on reconciliation for what America has done that we haven't acknowledged and what we are doing to people around the globe right now.

Do not put your life on hold because of these events. Living your life and keeping yourself and your relationships healthy is fascist resistance.

Letter from parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti:

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

If the midterms didn’t matter then the right would not be so clearly desperate to foment the violence that would influence them. You have got to vote, there are real political options on the table that should be taken before we start talking seriously about non-political options.

Related to my short thread before, the case of the off-duty Sheriff who shot and killed a guy in a movie theater for throwing popcorn at him and getting away with it, and the obvious fact that were that Sheriff any other identity that he would rightly have been punished, should prove the point.

To further clarify what I'm talking about here, the modern 2A cult has always hinged on this idea that every armed citizen is part of some crowdsourced militia that is ready to stand against a tyrannical government. This is a lie, and your guns will not work for that purpose.

put another way, a bunch of you don't respect nonviolent resistance because, somewhere in your heart, you feel that's for f*ggots and women some of you who believe this are people to whom those terms could be applied the patriarchy wants you to believe this, it is using you

I'm old enough to remember when a lot of Extremely Online folks were hype for Fetterman as an edgy everyman anti-establishment candidate. But it's difficult to imagine a Senator Conor Lamb saying this shit right now.

I spent a large portion of my teens and my twenties having been galvanized by the pro-2A community. I was always more or less a pro-gun liberal and I still am. Believe me when I tell you the second amendment needs to be repealed. We’re seeing ICE agents inflict terror on American cities, yes…

Everything I've seen from ICE in Minneapolis is masculinity run absolutely wild. These agents literally think they are forging the bonds of brotherhood between them, akin to Vietnam or something, and outwardly express their disdain against the feminist order they see as having drafted them to war.

ALL MN PROTESTERS Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

There are a lot of you who seem to be overly concerned about people being rude to you when the people in question are a bit miffed that we're upending the global order and currently threatening to invade their country using a playbook from 12 years ago that is still currently ongoing

I keep hearing this guy say that he’s “settled 8+ wars” and this claim just seems to go unchecked by everyone because there’s so many crazier things he says, but I wanna know which 8 wars he’s talking about.

“I’m not a feminist, I’m an egalitarian,” might be the most successful psyop in history

the idea of a woman having to apologize for being seen in public because of her sexual history would have been unthinkable ten years ago. we've reverted SO MUCH on gender/feminism and Gen Z women have no idea what they're missing out on

It has not been lost on me that the two preeminent contemporary uses of LLMs is the infinite generation of 1) CSAM and 2) media that serves no purpose other to publicly denigrate, humiliate, and dominate women and minorities.

Trafficking the boy after using him as bait, pinning someone in the snow to spray into their mask, shooting Marimar Martinez, murdering Renee Good—Bovino and Miller are asserting the right to harm anyone they want. The only acceptable response is to make sure they can no longer harm anyone at all.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

Something I worry about a lot how much the opposition to Trump is only because he’s doing authoritarianism badly, not that he’s doing it at all.

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

This is actually a weirdly boring time to specialize in International Relations because there's no actual intellectual substance to any of this. Like, yeah, man. Shit's fucked. Fucker's nutso. That sort of insight is why I'm a fancy-pants political scientist you should all respect and consult.

This is Minneapolis: I’m at a major healthcare clinic (just here for a friend) and overheard the front desk staff mention they’ve had 97 missed appointments today. People aren’t getting medical care bc they’re afraid to leave home.
