I know the last thing anyone wants to hear is for someone to suggest something might go well for us for a change, but the degree of fingers-in-the-ears up-is-down black-is-white "nuh-uh" lying going on about the attack on Padilla suggests they know they got way out over their skis on this one

This is the lede. There is a woman on camera in charge of a lot of people with guns. She says they are going to liberate a domestic population center from democratically elected officials and violate too many laws to count in the process. I have zero time for anything else.

Something I wish liberals - and, for that matter, a lot of leftists - would internalize: The goal is not to out-argue, disprove, fact-check, debate, or point out the inconsistencies or hypocrisies of fascists. The goal is to defeat them.

Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me. His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard. This is blatant Islamophobia—the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.

Important for US activists to understand that laws cannot protect you. Armed soldiers are on the steets. They are violently arresting judges and mayors and US Senators. They are kidnapping people from churches, elementary schools, and hospitals. Your only protection today is anonymity, opsec,

Every elected Republican should be asked if they think the president has the power to send in military in to “liberate” a state or city from its elected government.

the republicans are very skilled at turning their depravity and law breaking into a story that makes them the victim. trump's criminal prosecutions, the nationwide injunctions: these are evidence of unfairness, not his propensity to violate the law.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

There was a comic book, Transmetropolitan, that spent a lot of time talking about American politics and journalism the way The Boys talks about American superheroes. There was an openly fascist candidate with Nazi fans, and he started his speeches walking on stage escorted by models

A requirement to be honest and have principles is not a purity test. If someone is prepared to take a job as a lobbyist for crypto, there is absolutely nothing you could trust them not to do.

Liberals are also in real-time manufacturing consent for the genocide of American trans people. I will speak out against this as I did against the genocide of Palestinians. I'm a child survivor of one genocide in Guatemala, I refuse to stay silent now. Do you want more crimson on your hands?

It’s blindingly clear at this point that the protestors in Los Angeles are in fact helping to prevent a fascist takeover, and the pundits who suggested that protest is counterproductive were being either stupid or actively malicious.

Remember when Nathan Phillips drummed and sang in Nick Sandmann's face and everybody praised him for using a traditional music form as a method of non violent de-escalation? Keep that in your head when you see people doing the Cupid Shuffle at ICE It's the same thing, they just know other songs

"Frankly, the LAPD is too woke to shoot tear gas at children anymore, SWAT teams are hesitant to deploy tanks over yoga studios, and even some ICE agents hesitate before knocking down doors. It’s a slippery slope!"

There was a time not too long ago that I thought about running for office but didn't because I am a recovering heroin addict and now you can just be John Nazi of the Nazi Party who just got convicted of fraud and trafficking and win your primary by 70 points.

Seems noteworthy to me that they're admitting that they're sending in the military because of the state government's ideology!!!

There are many jobs that people need to take for economic reasons that do not align with their personal ideals and ideologies. Neither ICE nor any role protecting or boosting the Republican regime is one of those roles. Everyone involved in those actions is choosing fascism with their whole heart.
