with Portland there's the depressing addendum that 90% of why this is happening is the right wing media grifter ecosystem got badly addicted to viral Portland content during the Trump years and they've been fiending for another hit ever since

I say this as a historian and sociologist of religion in the U.S., emphatically this, what is said in the quote below, is true.

Everything by Trump and Miller right now is weakness. They know they've lost the majority and their policies are unpopular and they've F'd up the economy. So, they'll use the military and threats and unleash their Reeks. But, they don't have the numbers. All hands on deck resistance.

We’re only 9 months into this presidency and he’s already sending troops from red states into blue states while clearly stating his motives are political.

related, when the president is invading our own country, waging war on our own people, i don't wanna see dems give the GOP shit they ask for, don't wanna hear shit bout 'we hope our friends across the aisle will work with us on bipartisan solutions to the problems they cause' i don't want none of it

I accidentally glitched out an animation I was working on and created a perfect example of what the passage of time feels like to someone with ADHD

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States. America is on the brink of martial law. Do not be silent.

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

We lost a real one.

How did Putin crush dissent in Russia after the Ukraine invasion and why do Russians go along with it? And what might Stephen Miller have learned from his approach? Found this video very helpful.

In “war zones,” soldiers famously worry about access to restrooms and lunch spots.

Deplorable. Once upon a time, if a president had use a speech to a military academy for partisan purposes, it would be considered a disgrace by both parties.

"[A]gents engulfed my car in tear gas, smashed my driver-side window, and pepper-sprayed my face.... I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. No explanation. No charges. No apology. One day, I was just told, 'you’re free to go.'" #KavanaughStop

Portland never stops being Portland.

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.

"Much of the private sector is paralyzed by Trump’s broader efforts to leverage the might of the government to bend companies to his whims. But that pressure is magnified in government affairs shops across Washington, where corporations are desperate to curry Trump’s favor and avoid his wrath."

Honest I said someone should write a spy novel about how American adversaries could take out top NatSec people only by getting one of three right wing trolls to lie about the target on Xitter before WSJ did this story on Laura Loomer. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

this is literally delusional

absolutely no way this is legal and it seems like an extraordinarily stupid move legally

I argued that Stephen Miller's fascism is unpopular bc it's all butt cracks and beer bellies. So I guess they're trying to reverse that.

mencius moldbug is thinking of fleeing the country because he thinks the trump administration's chaotic half-assing of dismantling liberal democracy is going to bite them all in the ass

Sometimes it’s hard to tell if the bad guys know they’re losing, so it’s important to read it when they say it out loud.

"that's just not who we are" i say to the american SS beating me in the street

Yup 😏

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

These people were enslaved as laborers for a call center soliciting church donations in case you’re wondering the exact level of where we went wrong as a human species

It's a collective failing but it's also a well-funded disinformation campaign to make you think it's not a horrible and easily transmissible, highly rapidly mutating murdering virus that will cut significant gaps off of your long-term health trajectory.

The book Who's in Charge? by Michael Gazzaniga has some wild experiments about this. Studies on split-brain patients showed they responded to stimuli they could not consciously absorb. One function of consciousness is to tell a story about your unconscious behavior. www.nytimes.com/2011/11/01/s...

this is one of those ones i dont like thinking about

Impressive example of what quality tailoring can do. A client came in with an asymmetrical pelvic tilt, a considerable spinal misalignment, a bent knee in one leg, and an overhanging tummy. But properly tailored trousers create a clean line. He now looks great. IG dylanandson

We often call better city-building ideas bold and visionary when they’re really just common sense given the real-life crises that cities are facing. But true common sense isn’t particularly common these days, so it’s considered bold.

Geese, with their new album "Getting Killed," have achieved something miraculous for 2025: suggesting a future to look forward to, @skornhaber.bsky.social writes.

Stephen miller is actively calling for a civil war right now on Twitter. I really do not think Americans are taking in the reality that the federal government is openly admitting to waging war against democratically held cities and states and what comes now that this is being openly said.

Out of body sounds the world is all vibration I am alive and dead youtu.be/E1kFxpNR6Jc?...

if Kash can go back years and fire people for kneeling or displaying a pride flag the absolute least the next Dem admin can do is fire every one of these assholes who are assaulting people on camera (and then prosecute them)

Trump acting like a fascist, quoting Hitler, and being racist. The world: Trump is a racist fascist. MAGA: How dare you call our Daddy a racist fascist! Go back to where you came from! Also we're going to get you fired and cancelled and investigate you as a terrorist!

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

Pritzker needs to take some sort of demonstrative action against this. But nothing he does will stop this. Still, liberal voters and elected leaders are confronted by the fact that the police are not democratically accountable. They have no interest in protecting you or your rights from the feds.

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military. They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

Stop lying. Your state cops attacked protesters alongside ICE yesterday. I was there. I and others were violently attacked by ICE agents. Your state cops acted in concert with them during the attack.

The uS government is occupied by russia. Pictured: Kristi Noem, Benny Johnson - who was paid by russia to spread propaganda in the uS, and ICE. Now ask yourself why so many of these russian assets seem to have direct ties to the Trump regime, BJ isnt the only one...
