i'd rather ask ursula from the little mermaid for a favour and life advice than ask chatgpt anything

Every fascist uses illness and violence to disable opponents. They disable us with covid, poverty, police violence, climate destruction, war, transphobia. They count on ableism to make us deny this reality and to abandon each other. Resist. Wear an n95. Use alt text. Make protests accessible.

Say it for the back row: THEY DON’T THINK

HELL YES

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

Whether it's Democrats putting flyers on Chris Cillizza’s Tesla or Republicans assassinating Democratic lawmakers, it's time for both sides to turn down the temperature.

Whole lot of people saying “she must resign” who should be saying “I am introducing articles of impeachment.”

Senator dared to question the Empire, directly, and was met with force. Stormtroopers didn’t hesitate. They grabbed him, cuffed him, dragged him away like a dissident, claiming he “failed to identify himself.” But everyone knew who he was. He was a Senator.

BREAKING: Judge Breyer orders Trump to "return control of the California National Guard" to CA Gov. Newsom, finding that Trump's order taking control was illegal because it did not follow the required procedure. The order is stayed until noon Friday. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com

HELLOOOOOO!!! YES!

Not super concerned about the optics of Raising Your Voice to someone who just stated intent to commit a coup and was, a month ago, taking selfies in front of Actual Concentration Camps

New York, I need y'all to make Schumer's life a living hell until he takes serious action

Congresswoman LaMonica McIver’s arrest should have triggered this body to begin with- we need you all to see Senators and Congresswomen of color seem to be the regime’s first targets. RISE UP!

I would like to once again say that once they arrested Ras Baraka every elected Dem should have understood what was in store.

For sale: Arc of moral universe, never bent.

Shame on all of these Democrats that voted to confirm Kristi Noem. Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) Sen Andy Kim (D-N.J.) Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) Have any of them expressed remorse for this?

The things that have happened this week across the country have, at other times and in other places, each been singular catalysts for regime change. Occupying cities. Firing on peaceful protesters. Suspending fundamental liberties. Arresting elected officials. Each of these has toppled governments.

Folks, @resnikoff.bsky.social is right

"A society can't allow EVERYBODY to have free speech!" is a helluva take.

As usual with these dust-ups she is retreating to the ‘compromise’ position that sporting bodies should make standards about transition. The problem is that THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. Standards have been in place for years. Lia Thomas met them! The bigots don’t care.

Democrats accommodating the right leads to more people voting for Republicans. Who could have seen this coming?!?!?! *stares in American politics over the last five decades*

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Try this instead

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

This is how. Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.

Ross’s book is out! www.routledge.com/The-United-S...

republicans don’t want to pay for the fucking POST OFFICE but will just light all this money on fire

Stay strong, stay united, Democratic governors!

This is a direct result of the watering down of the Civil Rights Movement. People have parroted a lot of things about resistance and revolution filtered through the equivalent of a Disney channel breakdown of history

Every right in America was bought in blood. Every regulation was written in blood. Everything about American history is what? Bloody.

It’s funny because if you asked “the government has been snatching people off the street, kidnapping them, stalling lawyers who represent them, renditioning them to foreign countries, and generally terrorizing innocent people; what do you do?” The answer would sound like rioting in the streets

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.

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

The Obamas and the Clintons have many flaws, but they were never silent about the risks posed by Trump. White voters need to stop looking for a feel good hero figure and get ready for what is actually in front of them. There is no Magical Negro coming to save America from America

The road to defeating the authoritarian government does not include a Magical Negro. It does not include a plucky Manic Pixie Dream Girl. It's never ever included those things outside of fiction. I have terrible news from all of recorded history

don’t forget: waymos and other robotaxis are surveillance devices on wheels that police are increasingly tapping for footage

Only 5 months into this thug's term and already deploying the military on US citizens. The nation's heart and soul lay in Los Angeles today. Let's hope the California National Guard make like the Irish in Braveheart. ☘️

This will be this generation’s Kent State photo, mark my words.

👇👇👇 [Alt-text] post reads “If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support, you don't have to go through with it. tel: 1-877-447-4487

demonstrations are a great way to eat up resources otherwise deployed against direct action. a diversity of tactics, each according to their capacity, is always a good idea.

This is bullshit! The separation code is malicious and purposeful — there are several other separation codes available that would do less harm to these veterans. Will not only negatively affect those wishing to work in the federal govt but will make civilian employers take a second look.
