Tiny victories can, however, be good for morale. It won't overthrow fascism, but there is a tiny, grim satisfaction to be had from knowing nobody likes these guys and they're always going to be miserable no matter how much they "win" in the short term.

It is wild to me how many people are absolutely convinced the US military leadership is some final bastion of resistance to the fascist regime, as if they didn't just illegally murder civilians on international waters. As if they didn't run Gitmo. As if they weren't the core of US fascism.

Every time Hegseth talks about his manly body I just wish someone would say to his face "you put a makeup studio in the pentagon, you fucking clown."

Probably the most frustrating thing is knowing that MAGA zombies will see something like this and, even if they fundamentally disagree with it happening, continue to blindly support it.

This must feel very true for people who couldn't parse the difference between doomsaying and frank analysis.

A victim of the shooting at the ICE facility is UNCONSCIOUS, in critical care, may not survive, his wife is about to give birth, and ICE IS KEEPING HIM SHACKLED TO HIS HOSPITAL BED: I just unlocked a new level of rage. www.npr.org/2025/09/27/n...

Lol Lmao Roflmao

These are the people @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social just isn't sure if we should be referring to as "deplorable," by the way, lest they feel left out. By his logic, if a sufficient number of people want trans people murdered, the Democrats should consider running local candidates who also want that.

Ezra Klein argues for running anti-choice Dems in red states, on the argument that this would better reflect the majority views in those places and secure Dem wins. There are quite a few flaws in this logic!

Israel just straight up sabotaging the entire US academic sphere in service of genocide.

Listening to the Klein/Coates interview is really frustrating, but really illuminating about the divide between politics and morality in liberal and leftist discourse.

None of the people supporting this regime care about laws or order. They never have, and we should all call that out whenever their cultists try to pretend otherwise.

ICE lies, and ICE murders. They are violent masked thugs who kidnap people off the streets illegally, violate every constitutional protection, and undermine the fabric of society. They must absolutely be done away with, abolished, and imprisoned for crimes against humanity.

Melted Cheese For Brains

Both guys with extremely in-character views on what growing up in Irvine was like:

Nah, I still remember visiting an uncle for a week out in rural western New York back in the 90s, and the way they talked about Buffalo sounded like they thought Robocop was nonfiction. My cousin was afraid to visit me because he literally thought he would get shot if he walked down the street.

Yeah, the "slight difference of opinion" for which he's called a Nazi? Nazi shit.

How hard is it to say “invading an American city with the US military is treason and the second we have power we will prosecute anyone who gave or obeyed an illegal order”

ICE needs to be abolished and every one of these men tried for kidnapping, torture and murder.

This is also another example of cisgender arguing with college kids - albeit a brilliant ones - because if they had to talk to someone with more experience they might face stronger pushback. For example, Mockler doesn't bring up all the right wing violence in the same period.

Human rights defender Greta Thunberg: "I am not scared of Israel, I am scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity. What we are doing here is trying to show there is some humanity left. That there are still people willing to step up when all other means fail." #3E

"We are not authoritarian fascists and we will arrest and brutalized anyone who says otherwise."

SCOTUS has more or less abdicated their own existence and primary exists at this point to nullify congress. So much for checks and balances.

Elon Musk went to Pedophile Island www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Wild that he's mad. You don't get to commit genocide and then expect everyone to love you for it. The rest of the world isn't like the US.

"The most masculine president in history" who tells pregnant women, of all people, to "tough it out" is shit scared of malfunctioning escalators, women in restaurants yelling at him, and unflattering pictures of himself.

I really need you all to understand that there is no master plan or policy that Donald Trump is following here. He's just a nursing home patient who hasn't been taking his meds and is experience wildly varied periods of relative lucidity.

On the plus side, the Zionist genocide denial brigade is clearly shrinking.

Yeah, we're fucking cooked. This country is done, and if it isn't it should be. Nobody on the planet should be taking the country that elected that moron seriously, ever again.

Just straight up waving a gun around at civilians. It is a matter of time before these Nazi ICE assholes start murdering people in the street.

"Male loneliness" but the solution is never apparently for men to be encouraged to go out and have a fucking life. There's plenty to do, guys. Lots of social outings, and all you have to do is not be a creep.

They want her killed. They want everyone who isn't them killed.

eavesdropping on a conversation between a guy who works at omb and a guy who works for a house rep lol

His brain is just melted cheese. Completely gone, rotted through, kaput. Nothing left up there.

Yeah, UBI would be ideal, but also maybe not scold me for making a neurodivergent centric post when we are literally being targeted by fascist regimes

Ted Cruz can gargle taint water. There's no reason to believe that the shooter didn't hit exactly who he was aiming for. And if ICE, DHS, CBP want not to be called Nazis then they should stop being Nazis. Fuck them.

MAGA doesn't care because they think everyone in government does it all the time, so it's fine if their side does it openly because at least that's "honest" corruption.

Again, ICE needs to be eradicated and democrats need to be fighting to ensure that this shit is never allowed again.

Maybe the rapture did happen but it turns out nobody deserves heaven.

An Update: I received an email canceling my contract as a columnist at @startribune.com after sharing this story publicly. (I had written columns past the one-year contract already + been asked to continue on in July).

ICE is probably murdering people outright at this point. I have zero reason to believe there won't be mass graves uncovered before this regime is finally toppled. At minimum they're continuing to illegally deport innocent people without even bothering to use the fig leaf of the immigration courts.

I would like to invite, say, @slotkin.senate.gov to explain how this jibes with her praise for ICE agents earlier this year. Are you happy with our government holding children hostage, Elissa? Big fan of that, are you?

In just two years, Israel has murdered over 250 Palestinian journalists in Gaza. These were not just names—they were storytellers, truth-tellers, and witnesses to genocide. Silenced for exposing the crimes the world refuses to see. Here are some of their names. Honor them. Say their names.

Jimmy should tell David Smith to eat his shit and hair.

My boyfriend watches sports, for fun, on purpose, which is new for me, but I'm learning to enjoy it. I'm still a raging nerd, though, so tonight we're watching the Night's Watch versus the Lannisters.

I still honestly believe that she could have won if she had actually said or done anything to distance herself from Biden back when it mattered

Haha I'm being Raptured! This is wonderful, ha ha goodbye losers [It is revealed that the events of the film Nope are happening to me] fuck shit

What makes me an anarchist is not a belief that the state should not exist, but that the state is contingent and not a goal unto itself. Also, unlike the people who run the state, I believe that the state should be subject to its own laws.
