i am running for office on a platform of nationalizing chick-fil-a and giving popeye's a modified liquor license that allows them to sell go cups. a better world is possible

This video is 55 seconds long. It takes us from "100% peaceful" to watching the police start a riot.

look mods I'm not advocating anything I'm just asking: how many peaceful protests have to happen where people get brutalized and whatnot before the people figure it out are we supposed to lay down and die?

Please keep posting about how no one came to Trump’s loser parade I’m going to like all of them

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

fascist state media contains fox news, msnbc, and everything in between

Hello Governor, i've seen a lot of violent agitators at protests in California lately. Not only do they all have fake police uniforms and fake police cars, but they even built a bunch of fake police stations!

Her expression turned even more grim. “Corporate slave labor camps.” I said, “Yes, but if we call them that, Marketing and Branding gets angry and we get a power surge through our brains that fries little pieces of our neural tissue.” Indah winced.

amazing

I love that a politician can say something like “I believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought

EVER. Not even if they’re police, too.

...LITERALLY JUST "THOUGHTS & PRAYERS"-SHIT AFTER THE ASSASSINATION OF YOUR OWN GODDAMN COLLEAGUES HOW FUCKING BLIND TO REALITY ARE THESE FREAKS

I will hold the line on this. Right-wing violence has far more support, materially, institutionally and ideologically, in the U.S. than left-wing violence. There is no both-sidesing it.

we already lost our industrial base to china, now they're beating us at our own culture

one thing the leaders of the so called institutional "opposition to fascism" are sure of is that no one should ever fight back

"defund the police" was so obviously correct. I really don't care if it doesn't poll well. it's like telling me that I should stop saying I like vaccines if they stopped polling well.

assassins dress like cops bc that’s who’s allowed to murder people in broad daylight

"The assassin was masquerading as a cop" If they don't know his identity, how are they sure he isn't a cop? Sincere question.

because America is so lax about unmarked cop cars and its state agents love using them so much, it’s impossible to say whether this is an ex-cop car, a current cop car, or just a regular Ford Explorer with steelies and a light bar plopped on it.

An underappreciated explanation for antitrump politicians’ behavior is that they fear assassination. The more they stand for something, the more death threats they receive. Sometimes they come true. Political systems can’t withstand a constant threat of violence.

When I had a role developing novel antispam protections during the worst years of EOP, a rule flagged email of an employee soliciting prostitutes on Craigslist. This crap wasn't my job so I setup a Gmail and emailed them as a "researcher in Craigslist sex solicitation" to try to not do paperwork.

the thing about the Rubicon is as a river it's pretty easy to cross, not doing so is more about a respect for the rules than the difficulty of breaking them

There are a couple of kids in my nephews's class who weren't born in the US, and the class has decided (w/o teacher input) that if ICE shows up in they're all going to pretend not to speak English. 10yos reinventing "I am Spartacus" because they don't want their friends to get disappeared.

I know that sign policing is one of the most tiresome things to do in times of political protest, but I keep seeing "chinga tu migra" lately and beloved, no. chinga la migra. chinga toda la migra.

the core of all my philosophical, political, and ethical beliefs is a long standing and extremely passionate hatred of bullies

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

We already have had tough conversations with our kid about the police (sooo many classmates say they want to be cops at that age because they still associate it with the good guys) and now we have to tell her they are not there to help and to yell for a regular citizen if a cop approaches her.

Who was MN Rep. Melissa Hortman in the MN Legislature? READ about her consequential leadership in this THREAD by @taniel.bsky.social. Take the time.

I'm being called immature for my "war is bad" stance, so let me be absolutely clear on this: If being an adult requires accepting brutally murdering, maiming, and destroying human beings en masse rather than sitting down at a table and talking, I'm perfectly fine not being one.

another fearmongering flier for cuomo from doordash, which has no jewish executives or directors but does hate the idea of paying gig workers what they're worth

Interesting. Polls are showing American voters don’t like the idea of being under military occupation by a wildly angry game show host for no reason www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

imo this is why this "had to happen" now

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

Resegregation has always been the plan

As I have written many times, Hollywood is the most ruthless center of American capitalism you can imagine, where every TV show is a startup with a burn rate in the millions per week and SIX WEEKS to prove it can succeed. Until private equity moved in to pillage it, it was cold-bloodedly pragmatic.

it was all real...

A police chief saying he expects to be arrested and jailed by the federal government for how he chooses to do his official job—esp when it seems to be in the context of NOT interfering w ppl using their constitutional rights—feels like a really bad thing.

the left has been saying "hey this all ends in us being renditioned to black sites without due process" since bush II at the latest and the consistent and overwhelming response from liberals has been "shut the fuck up and remove your tinfoil hat you child"

I for one choose to honor moon soldier

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.
