everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

This is completely unbearable. But also like… why are his insane ramblings never summarized like this in the media? We gotta wait for a substack guy to put it together like this?

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

I saw a comment the said we aren’t “angry enough.” But all we are is angry. Our veins circulate it like acid. It cracks our sternums. It poisons and paralyzes us. We hiss and spit at each other, all impotent, helpless rage. We don’t need more anger. We need more direction.

Never forget who you’re fighting for.

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.

insofar as this hopelessly broken constitutional system is the "united states" i have no interest in being part of it anymore. im tired of the fate of my community being tied to the most venal, evil impulses of a distant economic and policy elite this system can no longer control

grace for the ordinary and wrath for the powerful

Palantir needs to be obliterated the same as ICE, and Peter Thiel can face the Truth and Reconciliation committee he’s spent his entire life trying to negate. If we want to fix our country, this is non-negotiable.

This witness to Alex Pretti's murder not only refutes the governmen't story, but says she is afraid to go home because federal agents might arrest her. This is what it feels like to live under state terror. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Sometimes it’s a good idea to step back and ask yourself whether you’re arguing with someone’s political position or their personality disorder

I've said this before, but "america was always fascist" is simply not an effective messaging strategy for fighting an american fascist movement. you should not cede them control of the national identity! that's what they want!

"Americans have been misled by pundits who proclaim the US a 'nation of laws.' It makes no difference if the US is a nation of laws when courts are selective in their application. Autocracies are nations of laws, too." sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/a-shining-...

Good morning, I am once again reminding you all that we are going to keep pushing and we are going to win:

Officials tweeting about national horrors as if they're passive cable news watchers instead of the people tasked with stopping them is a deliberate form of demoralization. A smug shrug of contempt for the citizenry.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

When your kids are late teens/early adults and they are still asleep at noon on Christmas morning!!! Our roles have reversed and now we parents are pacing to open gifts🎁

This is a story about how America’s world-leading cancer and dementia research system was destroyed by frauds and naifs who broke the law. There must be consequences.

Like what is this vegetable even talking about 95% of the time? Why do we have to participate in this mass delusion that these people have worthwhile ideas that aren't just more scams?

“He doesn’t have a mandate” are you fucking kidding? Dick Cheney died the day Zohran is elected he has the mandate of HEAVEN

The piece about leverage is especially important. I fear that too many left organizers keep reaching for political levers that no longer exist in any meaningful way.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

⚡️ZOHRAN PULLS OUT OF ABC TOWN HALL IN SUPPORT OF KIMMEL: “The message it sends Americans is the first amendment is no longer a right that can be counted on… we cannot normalize these kinds of acts nor offenses.” www.amny.com/news/mamdani...

Many media outlets hid the full truth of Trump -- his background in organized crime, his Epstein ties -- out of fear, only to be obliterated by him in the end. Had they not self-censored then, they might not be state-censored now. When you hide the truth, you face the consequences.

. We want convenience, luxury, & comfort but comfort is expensive if it costs our voice, our vote, our country. 30 days of action now beats 30 years of regret. The choice is yours. #Andor #Antifa #Epstein #JimmyKimmel .

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

A perfect afternoon in Astoria.

President Trump is stealing our money. One thing I'm looking for in a future candidate - how far will they go to try and get it back from him, his company, his "organization," his family.

All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces

📌The President of the United States posted a FAKE VIDEO TO THE WORLD of a kneeling Barack Obama being placed in handcuffs, and we are supposed go along like it is just another day. Our press has so completely lost the thread it would be laughable if it wasn't so damn dangerous and disgusting.

We should be putting a gargantuan amount of money into solar and storage. War economy levels. It should be free to have a guy from the government solar your house up. Electricity should basically cost nothing.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 113 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Americans don’t want tax breaks for billionaires. Americans want: Maternity leave Universal healthcare Affordable housing Affordable childcare Basic human rights BEING ABLE TO LIVE ON A 40 HOUR A WEEK JOB!! It’s not rocket science. Fuck the rich.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

For a lot of relatively comfortable Americans, electing an emotionally incontinent imbecile was a bit of entertainment. A game. Good sport, owning those libs. I hope they’re duly entertained.

why is the president the only person testing the limits of his power? everyone should see what they can get away with. what if zookeepers gave helicopters to gorillas? nobody has tried this

The people are in the streets getting brutalized by a fascist regime and the networks are having ex cops and military give “analysis” and focusing “extremists.” No protest voices. See this thing for what it is.

Stop bending the knee to Trump: it’s time for anticipatory noncompliance | David Kirp

People trying to protect their neighbors are not the problem. The fact that some of you are thinking that way reflects a level of psychological capture & submission to fascism that you should interrogate. If they want an "excuse" to do something, they'll create one. The good guys aren't the problem.

Reddit keeps me cackling- “I really wish Trump would stop humiliating this country by meeting with foreign leaders and saying things, in an office that looks like it was decorated by Caligula’s mother at the end of a three day methamphetamine binge.”

Palantir has built a surveillance database that effectively profiles every American. This invasion tramples the civil liberties supposedly afforded to citizens. This mutiny is being powered by Taco Trump, a villain with no respect for the Constitution or rights of the people. Congress, do your job!

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...
