2020: attacks on “BLM” 2022: attacks on “CRT” 2024: attacks on “woke” 2025: attacks on “DEI” BLACK. THEY MEAN BLACK.

this is genuinely shocking. this is a very particular strain of american nazi shit - this isn’t a conspiracy theory that exists outside of that belief system. this is not something you would say if you aren’t well versed in neonazi talking points.

How much time have I spent here

when i visited the front in 2015 i met a Ukrainian sniper in his late 50s or so who had fought in Afghanistan. hated it. never ever wanted to go to war again. but he has two sons so he picked up his rifle again so they wouldn't have to. I'm sure they've joined by now. Hope they're alive.

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Do not repost this post

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place): 1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

The US is being dismantled and sold for parts.

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

No fights are the wrong fight to pick. Pick every fight. Fight these fascist fuckers every time about everything. Fight them even when they aren't fighting. If they run away, chase them and keep fighting them until they beg to stop and then fight even harder.

How is it not a top story that none of these people’s performance were reviewed, none of the merits of their position were analyzed. The world’s richest man simply fired every federal employee he was able to. It’s a borderline act of terrorism against our own country.

please enjoy today’s slow-motion video of holtzmann attempting to catch ten tennis balls at once

the federal government is an organized hate group

man i am just straight up not interested in people who will be perfectly okay in the next couple years moaning in public over and over and over again that we’re all cooked and doing nothing else. fuck off man! some of us have things to live for

And now consider that Trump knows the press thinks like this. Understands that the more he pushes on them, the more they think that backing down is strategic. Think about how that might incentivize him. And consider how maybe the media not only aren’t being strategic but also enabling fascism.

For those who sneer at this: It doesn't fucking /matter/ if lawsuits like this are meritless. It doesn't matter if it'll get dismissed. What matters is that companies now know that they will have to spend money defending expensive lawsuits like this from state AGs. Because they hire women & POC.

He lucked into power through having more money than one could possibly need allowing him to do stupid stuff and not fail like a normal person would fail. But Twitter itself is something he destroyed. Saying "it worked" makes it sound like he had a master plan, rather than too much money. /out

A lot of people are yelling at me that "it did work" because it gave Elon more power. And... honestly... that's silly. That is how it ended up but his intent was to build it into a successful business. I'm muting this thread because the "but it worked" people give Musk too much credit.

The other crazy thing about this is that it shows that Musk and his entourage *THINK THAT WHAT HE DID AT TWITTER ACTUALLY WORKED* and was a good plan. The levels of delusion are fairly stunning.

When you don’t understand how anything works, everything is a conspiracy.

If you want a long, but very thorough, read on just how crazy dangerous the situation is with Elon, @brockm.bsky.social has laid it all out in a single article. Please read it. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/05/t...

I routinely sing the praises of the things that just tried to kill me, also.

This is an excellent example of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. A lot of people benefit from DEIA.

Yes, the US. A truly anti-Christian nation that *looks at notes* has Christian holidays as federal holidays and everyone else has beg/use their PTO to get their own religious holidays off

In an interview, Sibley said he posted the video to show others how to reject anyone attempting to keep Nazi culture present. "It shouldn't be worthy of the attention it's getting. It should be standard practice," he said. www.chron.com/news/houston...

This is, in part, why folks like Sherman and Sheridan advocated for the total destruction of the Confederacy. They were fully aware that anything short of its complete destruction and the prosecution of former Confederates would lead to the maintenance of the ideology of the CSA.

The truly incredible thing is no matter how dumb you thought this administration is going to be, it’s somehow so much dumber

Every time I remember Stephen Miller designed this rush of orders to burn me out specifically I get a new burst of energy from the spite alone. The very thought of my exhaustion giving him an ounce of joy makes me want to burst through walls

Sheesh. Dems need to plan less, do more. The party in power must justify themselves; the opposition does not. Complain about every bit of malfeasance. Blame them for everything. Throw mud until it sticks. Jam gears, no unanimous consents. Republicans have done that for 30+ years, why won't you?

Legacy media has bowed down and will obey. That is what there is to know. Support pro-democracy, independent media.

Trans folks in your community need to hear from you. Repost this image to say loud and proud: trans Jews belong here! Shabbat Shalom. Wishing rest and comfort, especially to our trans, nonbinary, and intersex community members and families.

If you are a straight, cis person and you feel that fucking knot in your stomach about what the administration is doing right now to trans people and trans children, you have to at the very fucking least say out loud in front of your friends and peers in real life "this is fucked up."

I'm so sorry that we failed this person. And that we will continue to fail so many. I'm in anguish over this whole situation. I'm enraged at those who wish even the slightest ill towards trans people. Ultimately I feel as though these words are immensely insufficient.

Those who have less than full throated support and love for trans people disgust me. Who doesn't see the version of themselves they long to be in their mind? They hate those with the courage to do something about it, who show the rules for the meaningless white-after-labor-day calvinball bs they are
