It’s official. In the eyes of the regime, we are all terrorists now. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Happy new year to all my peace-loving, freedom-fighting, justice-seeking Jews. May 5786 bring peace to the people of Palestine, freedom to the prisoners of the empire, and justice to the workers of the world.

Apropos of nothing in particular, here's Walt Disney's testimony to HUAC in 1947, where he named employees he believed were communists, condemned labor unions, and accused "commie" groups, including the League of Women Voters, of smearing him. 🗃️ archive.org/details/walt...

I've been trying to understand why this isn't generating as much fury as it should, and i think it's because there is a fundamental belief among many americans that the military can pretty much do whatever (which isn't entirely inaccurate.) that said, what the actual fuck.

We have gathered here to mourn the murder of one of our own and to encourage the murder of many others

"pwease stop making fun of us" is what you do when you're on the verge of regime consolidation

So we are at the satchels of cash stage of corruption I see.

Disney has lost nearly $4 Billion in three days from combined stock price collapse and cancelled subscriptions.

In case you were wondering how it’s going over at the Reichsministerium für Propaganda.

The fact of the matter is that, in America’s poor and working-class communities of color, policing has always been “sort of like war.” Now that the National Guard is involved, the rest of the country may be finally waking up to this fact.

Hearing from a few folks now that five protesters have been taken into federal custody.

At Broadview ICE facility, federal agents hurl tear gas and pepper spray at protesters blocking vans www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/19/t...

These are precedented times and the precedent is a loud ass warning www.nytimes.com/1939/02/04/a...

This isn’t “cancel culture,” it is markedly way worse

Occupy wasn’t just tents—it was unions, workers, and students linking arms against Wall Street greed. Here’s how labor + Occupy built a movement for the 99%. From the book, *The Occupiers* by @mgouldwartofsky.bsky.social #occupy #occupywallstreet #occupywallst inthesetimes.com/article/labo...

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Just very weird to follow politics knowing that there's going to be a recession that'll make everything we're talking about feel like it happened in prehistoric times.

#OtD 17 Sep 2011 inspired by events in Egypt and Spain, Occupy Wall Street began as 1000 people gathered in New York City's financial centre to protest economic inequality and austerity amid a global crisis. Occupy encampents soon spread across the US stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8948...

Let's all to take a deep breath & understand that we have reached the phase in fascism where if they want to declare you a criminal, you are a criminal. You can not magically avoid it, or do exactly the right thing to stay off the list. Fascism must always have enemies, and one day you will be one.

People don’t like it when I say it, but the main place you’ll be pressured to participate in fascism is work. Especially if you work in a battleground space like government or academia. None of your weekend organizing can ever make up for active participation in the fascist project at your day job.

Eyes on the Gaza City ghetto, where — with weapons supplied by America’s arms dealers, and a blank check supplied by its political leaders — the armies of occupation are accelerating their war of annihilation.

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

The shape of politics in the US right now is increasingly that the media, political and economic elites are allied with the Trump regime against the actual people of the country who hate it

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

Glad the vice president of the United States, whose salary my taxes fund, is using his position to *checks notes* attack me on the Charlie Kirk show.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

Hi ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere If you have any national platform at all Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us

a question I often find myself asking these days: "are these the moves of a movement that feels that it's winning or one desperately afraid that it's about to lose everything?"

The murder of the mentally ill by involuntary euthanasia — known as Aktion T4 — was the prelude to the Final Solution in Nazi Germany. If America follows Fox’s logic, we will inevitably reach the same conclusion.

Pivoted so hard they affected the earth's rotation

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

Wow since the killer turned out to be a cishet white dude all the death threat people have suddenly gotten real quiet. I haven't had this much peace in two days 🙃

This, too, is political violence. “A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed a man in Franklin Park, Illinois Friday morning… ICE officials confirmed the fatal shooting, saying the incident began with ‘targeted law enforcement activity.’” www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Having pivoted from claiming that the shooters bullets had messages that promoted "trans ideology," the far-Right press is now claiming that references to the video game Helldivers 2, which mocks authoritarian themes in Sci-Fi, are "antifa." www.nbcnews.com/tech/helldiv...

An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish. The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.

“We have radical left lunatics out there and we just have to beat the hell out of them” - DJT, on political violence www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

A threat to authoritarianism anywhere is a threat to authoritarianism everywhere

“The State Department indicated it would review the legal status of immigrants ‘praising, rationalizing, or making light’ of Charlie Kirk's fatal shooting.”

NEW: Right-wing extremists and an anonymously run website are targeting people for allegedly celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder - and posting identifying details about people accused online. Some of those targeted are now getting death threats. read @davidgilbert.bsky.social:

“Is political violence who we are?” This many months into military invasions of multiple cities to terrorize Black, Brown and Asian folks

Not so gentle reminder that “transgender ideology” isn’t a thing - it’s a way of negating the existence of trans people

This is class solidarity. In case you’re at all confused.

Protestors chant FREE DC FREE PALESTINE TRUMP IS THE HITLER OF OUR TIME To Trump, Vance, and Hegseth

Well look at that.

NEW POLL says capitalism’s hold over the U.S. population is slipping. Only 54% of Americans view the economic system of capitalism favorably—the lowest percentage since Gallup began collecting data in 2010. trib.al/fDh7kQf

You'll never guess who funds Hallow, the prayer app recommended by the White House. (It's Peter Thiel and JD Vance).
