I was thinking that maybe, more than 20 years after the start of the Iraq war, media coverage would be more skeptical and less sycophantic No such luck

It’s not a funny little meme, it’s not a cynical shitpost, the United States is the greatest threat to peace on earth. Americans need to get it through our thick skulls that we are hated the world over and deserve that hatred.

When people say “we deserved 9/11” they’re not saying it to be edgy or shitty, they say it because of situations like what is happening right now.

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

Kinda funny to think about that dude yesterday that thought this was all a conspiracy to defang the left when what actually happened is the cops opened fire on a bunch of libs who were just standing there and now my retired boomer parents are yelling fuck the police like they’re at an NWA show.

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

@nbc.com calls it ‘strong words.’ @cnn.com calls it a ‘stern warning.’ It’s a threat of on-the-spot execution. Media is failing, whitewashing, complicit in normalizing a government that threatens and menaces people daily. They need to WAKE UP NOW.

Los Angeles this evening looks like a war zone as fascist forces fire on peaceful protesters and turn downtown into a riot. The only people doing any kind of violence are the police and federal forces.

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.

Pentagon rules sharply limit US Marines and National Guard activity in Los Angeles, prohibiting arrests, surveillance, and other customary police work. Here's what federal troops can (and can't do) while deployed in LA as ICE protests ramp up.

i want democrats to put out a statement simply reminding rank and file ice agents and national guard that “i was just following orders” is not a legitimate legal defense

The army marines etc are full of people that have repeatedly lost wars against people with significantly worse access to weapons and technology, trying to use tech they don’t use on a regular basis. They are not some kind of unstoppable force they want you to think they are.

This is a big escalation up from the Guard. That Guard has been federalized to handle crowd control and riots before but I cannot think of a single time in modern American history that active duty troops in the full time Armed Forces have been mobilized and deployed against US citizens.

How embarrassing to work for the organized kidnapping ring known as "ICE." Rolling out of bed every day to be a brainless goon. You are lower than a worm to me

Kamala coming back to say ‘I told you so’ is fuckin rich. She abandoned everyone the second she lost, not a peep as students are deported, not a peep during the betrayal of Ukraine. Do not prop her up as our candidate. She’s a spineless feckless loser.

Musk suffers from the same delusion as his fans: he imagines he knows things because he has money. This has caused him to repeatedly embarrass himself publicly, and the humiliation makes him more resentful of criticism instead of triggering self reflection. He shouldn't be anywhere near government
