southwest airlines brought a SWAT team on board to forcibly remove a passenger over a perceived bomb threat but it turns out he’s just muslim and all he was doing was praying komonews.com/news/nation-...

As this was happening you were told shoplifting and home invasions were grave threats you needed to abandon any pretense of sympathy to address.

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count... PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY! I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix. Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

You still gotta impeach ‘em, jail ‘em, generally grind their bones to dust and suchlike.

The perfect headline doesn’t exi…

The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.

the future is for trans people

If you can provide $3k checks for the entire middle class of America by taxing 900 people a little more, not only should you do it, but you should take it as a signal that your monetary system is broken

“They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor”—Tupac

Doomscrolling is the weaponization of literacy

Like the bible says: live by the sword, no worries

Remember: If you are a billionaire, a wealth tax and cap are for your *own protection.* The income tax rate at the end of a pitchfork is 100%.

who up worlding their war iii rn

I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.

Imagine explaining to Jesus or an alien or a fuckin ant, “So yeah we do actually have the resources to feed and care for every member of our species, but we choose not to because some humans don’t deserve that. For example, little girls in Iran or on east side of my city. We’re smart.”

idk what to tell y'all. learn how to make zines, diy, network & shit. this world was never gentle with us

That argument exists because the lives of non-white people are cheap in imperial discourse. Mass death on the other side of the world has no reality outside of what space it takes up on the american tv news cycle. If it were otherwise, the old normal would have been as insupportable as the new

this was absolutely the point. shit like this is not accidental.

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes. Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time. What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.

so like, where is God?

I don't think we should host the World Cup, tbh

I don’t even know what to say atp. Down with Israel and the United States. Down with imperialist capitalism.

Where is the lie?

It’s wrong to vaporize school children even if Congress votes to approve it.

hey gen z welcome to republican governance

I’m gonna mute the word “distraction” for the next 72 hours. None of this is a distraction from anything else, the US Government is, and has been, a death cult run by rapists. Every atrocity they commit is its own reward.

the united states is the most evil country to ever have existed in the history of the world. irredeemable evil.

free note to everyone: you can just say we shouldn’t be bombing Iran rather than pretending this would be fine if Trump explained himself better

we (Americans) owe the world the destruction of the United States

no war no borders no cops no prisons no to all of this shit

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

this isn't a distraction from epstein class pedophilia it's an expression of the epstein class worldview

this is just who they are they do bad things everywhere all the time because they are evil and stupid and constantly indulging their very worst impulses there’s no twelve dimensional plan here

It really is either you support trans rights or you support Hitler 2.0

Once again: trans rights was & is the pillar holding up the whole of the rest of liberal democracy & the battle to defend trans rights was & is nothing less than battle whose outcome determines the difference between a free, open & tolerant society & a fascist society

with how rapidly parts of the US and canada are moving to criminalize transition now is a better time than ever to get linked into the diy networks and also please do not post about them in public too much

Civil rights are a kitchen-table issue.

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

every republican president of your lifetime has destroyed the economy

We live in such a profound dystopia.

This is the singular legacy of the Biden administration, the failing that preceeded all subsequent failings. What good there was (and there was real tangible good!) will have to be excavated from a legacy of failing while in power to punish the plotters and beneficiares of an attempted coup.

It's also because centrist and neoliberal media like the Atlantic spent a lot of energy over the past 10 years attacking antifascist movements that took great risk to confront and beat back the fascist advance while also down-playing the real threat of the far-Right. fair.org/home/in-mont...

Here's the thing I will continue saying every time this came up: Kamala Harris did not mention trans people in her campaign. She went out of her way to avoid it. She dodged every question on trans rights. And then she still lost. So what Newsom wants is *open hostility* to trans rights
