Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

Worse, their concept of chaos and danger is the absence of a strict hierarchy with one person at the top. It's circular reasoning with a very small circle.

This scares me more than Padilla being manhandled: “We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor has placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into this city ... “

Feels like stating the obvious but apparently some people don’t get that it is racist to ask Mexican Americans to conceal the fact that they are Mexican to appease racists who will never like you anyway

The Silicon Valley fascists genuinely think that technology (i.e., cool robots and spaceships) has nothing to do with science (i.e., girls filling out spreadsheets wokely). I am not being sarcastic. I know that sounds insane. But that's really what they think.

Again, these groups are attempting to retcon the 2024 election we all lived through to claim Dems overly catered to Big Trans or The Groups or whatever. In fact, Republicans—and via them the media—are the ones who zeroed in on the culture war while we focused on economic issues. We still lost.

When Obama and Biden won, Republicans said “fuck them, we’ll break them” and went on to rally their base. When Republicans win, Democrats blame their left and say “we’ll work with Republicans.” And it fucking sucks.

matt yglesiases told us to kick immigrants, trans people, and everyone horrified by the genocide we were doing out of our tent, which made our tent too small to win, so we're re-biggening our tent with more matt yglesiases

America is failing in large part due to the weakness of the Democratic Party against Republican fascism. And the blue maga mindset that you can never criticize the party — even if it means people are being hurt and killed — contributes to that weakness

In any authoritarian regime, there are people who make a livelihood by rationalizing the actions of the leadership, making them palatable to a general audience by offering analogies with reasonable theoretical statements. Their profesisonal title is usually something like "chief propagandist"

Once again I must remind you that elections are not physics, democracy is not ordained by God. All of these whole "Rights" and "Rule of law" things can fall apart with the speed and range of a grenade hitting the floor.

To be charitable: Trump does lie constantly, and in his first term threatened all sorts of things he backed down from. But it was also obvious to a lot of us this time would be quite different. What really happened the first time was a man unprepared to win was surrounded by normal political actors.

Most of the debate will centre around whether or not our social media timelines were this "Torment Nexus" with a wealth of evidence pointing to "yes" as the answer.

Something I'm reminded of every day I log onto the Internet: There are thousands of liberals who will never forgive anyone who worked for/supported Bernie Sanders & who hope all who did suffer for this allegedly unforgivable sin. They hate you more than they dislike Trump.

The number of people who somehow still, in this day and age, seem to fully believe that they are immune to propaganda, marketing, or other psychological influence and will never ever be duped or otherwise convinced to believe or maybe even Do a silly thing is honestly just astounding to me.

Anti-DEI is an attack on civil rights by segregationists. Most white "allies" are completely silent while segregationists attack Black people and our civil rights. These silent "allies" without a shred of shame or self-awareness, fully expect Black voters to make sacrifices to save them at midterms

Been saying it all along. None of this started with Trump, he's just the best bull to bust up the china shop. As soon as he tires himself out or dies, Vance'll be the new guy, and after him, another, ad nauseum. It's not about the face. It's the rest of this ugly monster we need to know about.
