“When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues
justify punishing
the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime
nor a character flaw. Stigmatize those who let people die – not those who struggle to live.” Sarah Kendzior

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

BREAKING: Miller reportedly engineered the raids that sparked the protests that have engulfed the city in recent days—likely because he wanted a pretext to send in federal troops. https://trib.al/oM1280f

This matches my experience, which is why I mostly post here now.

David Graeber said this in 2012 about protests in New York City. Though this is increasingly what is happening this week in Los Angeles. davidgraeber.org/articles/con...

here it is, the 4-step plan to martial law👇🏻

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

They’re not behaving as if they’re in a four-year term. They’re behaving as if they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

Crickets on prosecutions 💁🏽‍♂️

Zelenskyy could end this Trump Elon war in 24 hours

Wait... is this the best meme ever made?

Musk is only pretending to step away from destroying the government to avoid financial and ethical disclosures. Don't fall for it. newrepublic.com/article/1959...

All but declared…all that’s missing is suspension of the constitution, habeas corpus and the US military. But we are close to martial law in this moment and it’s getting hard to tell the difference.

NYT and WAPO must find it challenging to report actual new events without revealing the details of obvious war crimes and genocide

so true, everything with this administration is either performative or abject cruelty

This is harrowing. Thank goodness for these observant bystanders! Do you know the universal sign for help? I didn’t. As more young men fall victim to the Tates & misogynists of the world, we all need to be more aware! See below for the signal. ⬇️ 🧵 (posted on IG by @juliettelewis.bsky.social)

What a great summation.

It’s fine, he’s just got all your personal data. 💊💉

Trump has decided to give the Russians ANOTHER two weeks to think about if they want to stop the war or not. If they tell him "no" again, he is prepared to give them another two weeks to kill more people. Trump is Russia's trained dancing bear.

Until a time where Poilievre can weasel his way back into parliament through some back door by election, please respect the will of Canadians and especially those in the riding of Carleton and keep that wanker on the sidelines and off my TV. Signed Canadians from coast to coast.

They pretend that the USA was founded as a Christian nation. Then they pretend and insist they’re Christians. Then they govern like the motherfucking antichrist.

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, then you’re not in business. You’re in organized crime.

And they’re STILL making a stink about a budget 🙄 They don’t CARE about the budget, they just want to complain about the lack of one. When it releases, Canada Proud will find something in it, twist the information, so they can complain some more. #grifter #NeverPoiLIEvre
