Hugo Boss made their uniforms so ‘nuff said.

Anger is the officially sanctioned male emotion.

They don’t seem to have trouble infiltrating white supremacist groups, though.

The only question is whether you’ll be able to debunk this bullshit in one minute or five minutes.

A thread on whether the Trump administration is fascist.

Seems relevant.

If you don't know what that word means, I recommend not googling it. Especially at work. But if you click her post, I think you'll get a pretty good idea (safe for work).

Phew, this thread by Illinois Democratic Congressman Sean Casten. Reagan got *white* Democrats to vote for him, and it's because racism is the issue that white people agree on more than anything else.

He was what Republicans love: a polite, gentle racist.

It’s all Wrestlemania to these people.

Similar to what Lincoln said in his Cooper Union address: the South wouldn’t be satisfied until we told them slavey is good.

In case you need some receipts on Kirk's awfulness. "Mr. Kirk believed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a destructive force in American politics, calling its passage a 'mistake' that he said has been turned into 'an anti-white weapon.'" Gifted:

But how are law enforcement agents going to feel like big boys if they can’t look like this?

Plus: they want to believe. They have no reason to scrutinize his specious arguments.

Sinclair, after reviewing the footage from the documentary:

turns out it's pretty hard to put an hour's worth of charlie kirk together and hold up the "he was not a white christian nationalist, actually" charade

sinclair pulled its kirk tribute six minutes before it was set to air on its abc affiliates

Disney has lost nearly $4 Billion in three days from combined stock price collapse and cancelled subscriptions.

Is Bluesky in the room with you right now, Nate?

“Disney+ She-Hulk star Tatiana Maslany publicly canceled her Disney+ subscription and encouraged others to do the same.”

I was paying $84 a month for Hulu Live along with Disney or ESPN, and a lot of cancellations like that will definitely add up.

Darkly humorous that they can't even get a hand picked board to do their bidding.

All the motivation I needed. Just donated.

Britain has gone quite, quite mad.

This continues a trend going back to 2016. In 2016, I attended an event at Ocean Beach in San Francisco. It was one of my first protests, and I met a woman in her 60's who said the same thing. As things worsen, many people are having their first time.

Thanks to everyone who shared or liked this post! Because of you, it got written up by several news orgs including a USA Today syndicated article that wound up all over the US.

And the idea of being held to account is terrifying to ICE agents because they know what they’re doing is abominable. They see being told they’ll be held accountable for their misdeeds as a threat. If someone told an innocent person “you will be held to account” they’d be like “uhh… ok?”

“Reading some of the AI responses was almost like a reverse-gaslighting effect — it felt familiar like the way you'd tell someone with a terrible haircut that it wasn't so bad, or how you might praise a child's fingerpaint art.” www.businessinsider.com/reddit-aita-...

I keep telling you that authoritarianism only fails when escalating violence fails to suppress opposition.

One of the hallmarks of fascism is the yearning for glory days that never truly existed. Interesting parallel with Trump, who can’t let go of the 70’s and 80’s as he becomes increasingly aware of the inevitability of the fate that awaits us all.

Obviously, ALL authoritarian leaders try to control the media - through a combination of censorship and self-censorship. But beyond this trivial point, there is no "authoritarian handbook". The legal, media and political contexts matter a lot. And U.S. is often different.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

I was in London during Saturday's 100,000 person far-right march, and I still felt safer there than I do in the US.

Yes, Charlie Kirk was an inspiration to young people but not in the way they're insisting.

I’m Admiral Adama when it comes to appliances being on a network. I still want to be able to flush the toilet when my WiFi goes out.

I just called Disney+ to cancel my account and had the most joyful interaction with an operator who was laughing the entire time about how many people had canceled today. I can only imagine how it feels to spend an entire day witnessing how many people want to stop fascism.

“Their marriage eroded swiftly, over a span of about four weeks, and the husband blames ChatGPT.”

The function of ideologues in any given ideology is to make sense of the internal contradictions in that ideology. The goal is to make the ideology, maybe not intellectually coherent, but emotionally so.

this is the way. labor actions are crucial under fascism. talent is very well positioned to fight this. good for Lindelof.

I got 90% through before I realized she was talking about the “founding fathers” and not the current administration. Same/same.

I canceled my subscription for reasons. Please someone tell me they have a gift link 🥺

Political science has obsessed over polarization while largely neglecting extremism, and with few exceptions has been inattentive to the roots of it all—power, structures, and identities. Too many elites are just as unprepared. Thus, their takes are empty, trite, and naive.

Posobiec, Kirk’s frequent co-host on his podcast and a regular speaker at TPUSA events, was one of the key instigators of Pizzagate in 2017. His career started to really take off when Alex Jones started having him on his show. Doing politics the right way.

What are people’s favorite moderation lists? I don’t see a lot of talk about them anymore and wonder if newer people know about them.

Remember: that’s a full sentence.
