“When they slaughtered Congress, we didn't wake up. When they blamed terrorists and suspended the constitution, we didn't wake up then, either. Nothing changes instantaneously. In a gradually heating bathtub, you'd be boiled to death before you knew it.” —Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

Yes, Happy Flag Day - just not sure which flag, or which nation, right?

Isn’t “rhomboid” a lovely word, I feel it needs to have a wider usage, eg “When he found out I’d dented his car he went absolutely rhomboid” or “We were having such a lovely time when suddenly everything went rhomboid”.

And it’s extremely well documented that this is the case.

This is the group I've recommended to several people. They should have some results in a few days.

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.

“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.” @msnbc.com reporter #nokings

Before the cops in LA started escalating things for no reason it was funny how my main takeaway was how much people were looking out for each other in really helpful ways. I’ve never seen so many people with carts giving away free water, sunscreen, snacks, and masks to total strangers.

Best image of the day:

I just got back home to finally sit down and watch the parade footage and it’s 100x more embarrassing than I expected. I totally forgot the weak nations that do these spend decades perfecting them. It looked like if Fyre festival did North Korea.

Democratic societies should never assume that they are safe from an autocratic takeover. Because that’s what happened in Georgia. Nata Koridze, jailed Georgian democratic forces leader Zurab Girchi Japaridze's wife, tells at ZEG Storytelling Festival.

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

Tulisipa ministerien suusta joskus tällaisia radikaaleja lausuntoja: "Palestiinalaisilla on oikeus elää."

Anders Adlercreutzin mielestä Suomen ongelma on, että täällä on liikaa rasisteja. Herää vain kysymys, miksi puolue on sitten hallituksessa perussuomalaisten kanssa.

Jamie Raskin: My friends, fascism will not be the end of American democracy, American democracy will be the end of fascism!

Suomessa ei onneksi tittelinä ole psycho the rapist

Onko terapeutti vähän turhan mahtaileva titteli? Eikö gigapeutti riitä?

Suomessa julkaistaan tuhottomasti juttuja velkasuhde-ennusteista ja satunnaisista sopeutussummista, joilla velkasuhde ehkä laskisi. Kun keskustelu rakennetaan tällaiseksi, ei ole ihme, että asiat menee metsään. Pitäisikö kirjoittaa enemmän esim. siitä, että Suomen työttömyys on OECD:n 2. korkein?

Aivan.

4.5 million people on the streets today, folks

A good trade?

this does seem like it’s shaping up to be one of the great comedy moments of the decade

The announcer for Trump’s military parade sounds like he’s about to ask the audience to feed the Green Berets an anchovy after they do a flip

The whole thread. You would not believe that so many Simpsons references could be applied to a single photo

This is 100% malicious compliance, it has to be

See the thing is that the US Army is first and foremost American, and they get all whiny like a kid at bedtime if theyre asked to walk anywhere instead of drive

Chicago ✊

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

I genuinely hope Zelenskyy stayed up late to laugh at this parade and dear god I wish he could do jokes about it without risking the lives of Ukrainians

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played. CINEMATIC

between this, the camo outfits instead of dress uniforms, and the sloppy ass formations, i am pretty sure the army is putting on a world historic version of malicious compliance

All Eyes on Los Angeles this evening as state and federal forces appear to be firing Tigas and flashbangs into crowds of peaceful protesters in an attempt to escalate. The only people here doing violence are the police and federal forces sent in by the Republicans.

Belfast shows up every single time for communities under attack in numbers. Facing down the far-right, fascists and paramilitary groups in the shadows is in our DNA. #BelfastIsAntifascist #NoPlaceForHate

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.
