i need whatever drugs liberals use bc my god i would like this level of release from reality

“I was wrong until way, way later than the skeptics and derided them as unwise. Now, you should listen to my take on the events that I failed to predict”

I will vote for whichever party promises to treat ICE agents the way partisans treated Mussolini and anything less is worthy of a heart “get fucked lmao” in response

White liberals and progressives are going to need to hold two truths simultaneously, and better than they did in 2020; you can be marginalized and genuinely experience the boot of white supremacy or capitalism on your neck and still be a participant in being the boot on others’ necks.

Don't forget Gaza. Support the families in Gaza who have lost everything. Gaza wants peace and humanity.

ICE cannot be reformed. Trump empowered ICE for the express purpose of creating shock troops to impose autocracy. Today, ICE is comprised of the most sadistic and evil people in our entire society. ICE agents joined up in order to kidnap and murder people, as they were promised. Abolish ICE.

Liberals are falling over themselves trying to remind us that they’re fine with protestors getting mowed down - we should REALLY be outraged that the NORMAL people are being hurt!

It is funny when ICE agents turn their service pieces on themselves. Expect an uptick in coming months, and in the coming years, weepy memoirs from people jumping ship to save their own soul. It will be too late. Their funerals are now cause to raise a glass, same as every dead WWII war criminal

Federal cases can still carry the death penalty.

things to ponder about seattle, geography, and protests: there are few federal properties in Seattle; the Jackson bldg is downtown, with ICE facilities in Tukwila and a concentration camp in Tacoma. Downtown is not the ideal place for actions, but it does allow for making LEOs play endurance.

expect more anti-ebike shit to pop up all over the country; it's an area where conservatives (who want to hinder pedestrian/bike/public transit) can find alignment with wealthy urban liberals who view ebikes as a 'menace' but mostly just view the idea of accessible biking < 'real,' unassisted bike

less "hillary/kamala warned us about all of this!!" more "every single 'lunatic leftie protestor' for the past three decades warned us about all of this in unsettlingly clear-eyed fashion and were derided for it"

Liberals fundamentally do not understand how fascism works or how we got here; as a result, they can only offer failed solutions that have already been attempted. There is no such thing as reforming the Gestapo. The cruelty is the point. Abolish ICE, and may their agents swing from light poles.

“don’t give them an excuse, they’re waiting for a reason to invoke martial law” too often sounds like “dont make too much trouble or they’ll do to the rest of us what they’re currently doing to brown folks”

All you need to know about the Democratic party: Neither Obama, Harris, nor Biden made public comment on Renee Good's murder. All three quickly offered thoughts and prayers on Charlie Kirk's murder.

Nobody with a brain says this shit

None of the Americans who say this give two flying fucks about Palestine or the Palestinian diaspora

“ICE agents, get out now because historically, this ends with you hanging from a lamppost and your body paraded through the streets.” - the …we rate dogs guy

Donate to DivestSPD to help defund your local fascist cartel

SPOG is maneuvering in the appeals court to protect officers accused of serious misconduct, like racism, corruption, and dishonesty. open.substack.com/pub/divestsp...

I'm not one for violence but if this American administration ends with anything less than a firing squad, I'll be disappointed.

The reason so many white liberals don’t want to accept the reality that force against fascism is inevitable is because they don’t want to get their hands dirty. I said what I said.

Have been thinking/reading about this a lot this year. Reconstruction was the most far-reaching reform period in U.S. history, and was driven largely by state legislatures. Postbellum state lawmakers built public health and public school systems for the first time; many banned corporate welfare.

While Lisa was enjoying brunch during the Biden years, plenty of leftists and activists - the people who were actually getting beat, gassed, and killed in 2020 - continued fighting and protesting, only to see the Dems throw unlimited money at cops to crack down on us.

I am heartened that Americans are finally getting angry, but also quietly enraged that it took this. So many lives lost and treated as disposable, and so many families and dreams torn apart. Welcome aboard, but we’d all be better off if you’d cared before it was respectable white lady getting shot

A SITTING SENATOR IS LYING ABOUT A CHILD BEING ORPHANED BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS THAT THE VICTIM WAS QUEER AND HAD A WIFE LIBERALS LEAVE THAT OUT BC THEY DONT THINK IT POLLS

part of the reason fascism succeeds again and again is that liberals dont actually disagree with the tenants of puritanism or conservativism but just disagree with being Mean about it.

Any politician, organization, or activist who calls for people to restrain themselves is effectively creating the conditions for more kidnapping and murder. If we want others to understand this murder as a tragedy, we must ourselves behave as though it is a tragedy. Otherwise, it will happen again.

Sometime soon people of my… demographic… may start to comprehend what others have been shouting for decades about how hard it is to hold law enforcement officers, particularly federal ones, accountable for the death & injury of citizens — & how not having that accountability relates to frequency.

Recording ICE agents is dangerous* Groups like 50501 and Indivisible train volunteers to take video footage of crowds, and those videos are handed over to local and federal police. Those people aren’t endangering themselves, just anyone protesting.

When we flip Congress, another thing we need to put on the to-do list to demand is that Congress removes immunity from law enforcement officers. They need to be held accountable. And if their actions are lawful, they have nothing to worry about it.

Why won’t the people who murdered George Floyd fight against the other cops

I don’t know why people believe midterms will save us. Even if Dems win, they won’t defund & dismantle ICE or detention centers. They’ll use immigration in the same way Rep., are. They’ll support & expand a militaristic carceral & American hegemony platform, domestically & internationally.

one reason people should always be skeptical of urbanists is that there does not exist a single cause, group, or people that they will not cynically try to throw under the bus for the unfulfilled promise of another bike lane. solidarity is the only way forward, not whatever the hell this is.

Found one of the DNC bots who, at a time when fascists are murdering in the streets, on the Bernie bros

As Democrat politicians talk about the supposed necessity of "maintaining order," remember—the movement of 2020 only spread countrywide because a police station burned, and polls showed that it *improved* Democrat polling. If Democrats want to "maintain order," it's because they want to lose.

The reality is that the second Trump got replaced by some liberal, let's use Newsom as an example, the USA would stay on course with what it's currently doing and has been doing and you'd see comments like "he's a class act" "this is how you do diplomacy".

Brought to you by the white moderates he warned us about

Seeing a lot of engagement from labor on the Venezuela situation. When the Palestine genocide started, some said unions shouldn't be involved, but in Venezuela, we are seeing a lot of engagement, including the AFL-CIO denouncing it.

I am a supporter of Americans knowing how to safely handle firearms, but I must also reconcile this with the fact that this was not the purpose of the 2nd Amendment originally; that was to ensure that white civilians had the means and ability to put down rebellions by enslaved ppl & indigenous ppl

Would suggest the book “Dying of Whiteness” for more on this salient point. Too many who benefit from social safety net programs - healthcare, housing, higher education - become their fiercest opponents when people of color and LGBTQ+ people are able to access them as well.

Train Dreams is a beautiful work of art in and of its own right; but there is something that I find really special and magical seeing people posting in spanish, dutch, german, and all sorts of different languages about a movie that focuses on a mostly-overlooked region, but one filled with beauty.

genuinely at what point do otherwise well meaning people begin to understand that maybe the US, their western allies and their propaganda apparatus have been lying about their enemies since forever in order to justify rampant imperialism and death in those countries?

Her boss was an enthusiastic participant in genocide and she vocally remained adamant that she would remain a loyal ally to the people committing the genocide. Liberals are useless and have short memories; imperial violence is horrendous regardless of what party does it, and both parties do it.

Fuck both parties for enabling the latest round of imperialism, and may every boot on the ground get sent home in a box.

They trained Seattle PD. When we were hit with gas in 2020, twitter users in Gaza were the ones who were able to give the most-useful tips for mitigation; they had been the human test subjects previously.
