Zionists need to be excluded from progressive spaces. There’s no room for the defence and support of violent occupation, ethnic cleansing and extermination of human beings in these spaces. It’s savagery and brutality at its worst to support the Zionist entity.

Trump's gonna yank the Catholic church's non-profit status and they're gonna him the pope.

"If Hamas just released the hostages, we'd let in humanitarian aid." Putting aside that Hamas has repeatedly offered this and Israel has rejected it, what part of "collective punishment is a war crime" do people just not understand?

What the hell kind of claim is this? One of the most shocking human rights crimes of the twentieth century?! Take this lede down and stop embarrassing yourselves.

And then the police, and the prisons, and the FBI, and CPS, and...

When your “stats” are useless because you count protests against genocide as “antisemitism.”

De-arrest him! Make El Salvador's goons stop you, on camera. You want optics that will get people's attention? Just walk him out and film them using violence to stop you. The first politician to actually put their body on the line to put a stop to this will have my vote for any office they want.

Instead of "Trump is very smart, and I also no tax on tips" maybe an effective 2024 candidate would have produced a movie that was just a long montage of all the non-stop chaos and fuckups of the first Trump presidency. Why didn't anybody remind voters how badly they ran the country the 1st time?

Unison is the largest women’s organization in the UK. It has a million women members. The Unison women’s conference just voted for a motion that said; “trans women are women and trans men are men” with no-one speaking against it. Transphobia is a top-down, elite practice.

Dear media, please stop referring to these as "extremist views" - these are mainstream MAGA beliefs.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

everyone signing on to be a part of the new HBO Max Harry Potter series is endorsing this and should be treated accordingly

The Democratic party is done. Full stop. We need something new, moving forward.

“Today, April 10, would have been Rachel Corrie’s 46th birthday. She was an American peace activist who was murdered by the Israeli military in 2003 in Raffah, occupied Gaza. Her murderers were never held to account.” venera.social/display/85a8...

in so much news coverage there’s still this sense of propriety and decorum in the face of an outright assault on our civil and human rights. i just want to remind journalists that your politeness will not save you—so you might as well say what you really mean.

The idea that prison conditions needed to be harsh to punish crime was always a sick fantasy that eroded our collective rights. Now that due process is *officially* being abandoned, it’s another demonstration that all those supposedly far-left radical ideas were common sense and necessary.

Up next, they'll remove Trump on 25th amendment grounds and Vance will take over and rebrand MAGA. All the same evil shit, but done calmly and with a sheen of legitimacy. JD and Usha get the "New Camelot" NYT treatment, people go "I can live with this guy" and the wheels just keep on grinding.

Crash the economy, give corporations cover to do mass layoffs, replace the laid-off workers with AI and robots. Now, what to do with all those poors who have no jobs? Let them do mass protests, use facial recognition drones to ID them, brand them enemies of the state - boom, free prison labor!

Also an accurate description of how most democrats handled and are handling COVID. Just pretend it doesn't exist! Much easier than having to actually deal with the unpleasant reality in front of us. Deny reality and attack or dismiss any dissent.

If you're a journalist in the US and you're not speaking out against the ongoing killing of Palestinian journalists, at record levels, by a US-funded foreign military, then you should hang your head in shame.

so the reason elected dems don't do anything to stop all this is because they're good with it, and no forward progress can be made until a critical mass of people understand this and stop waiting for politicians who have no interest in saving us, to save us.

Take a moment. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths and relax. Now visualize victory. Visualize the fascists crawling back into their holes for another 75 years, in shame. Visualize rebuilding a better world than what we had before. Now carry that feeling with you, and get to work.

Thinking about those huge ancient civilizations that just collapsed. Like, "we found this abandoned city that used to have 10 million residents just lying in ruins in the jungle and we have no idea what happened." Feels relevant for some reason.

Alright, who had "First they came for the G-Men..." on their fascism bingo card?

The energy got coopted by the Democratic Party and funneled into elections. Then the Biden presidency extended several Trump policies while moving liberal constituents to the right on issues like police funding, immigration, and foreign policy. Yes, let's never do that again!

We're pretty close to either the Trump administration ordering the arrest of a judge they don't like, or a judge ordering the arrest of somebody in the Trump administration who's violating a court order. Either way, law enforcement will likely side with Trump and another domino will fall.
