Should be front page news every fucking day that American conservatives are a culture of cruelty and little else. All of this is 100% coming from the Right. Literally all of it. Conservatives are a cancer on American society.

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

you have to hope the zohran team is prepared for the historically massive ratfuck attempt on the horizon lol

Notice there's TENS OF THOUSANDS of people on the streets in LA. Nobody's hurting each other. It's one big party — until the cops show up. Police are the outside agitators.

look who learned what 86 means

They keep talking about punishing protestors as if this country wasn’t FOUNDED BY PROTESTERS WHO ENSHRINED THE RIGHT TO PROTEST, I AM SO TIRED OF HOW STUPID THINGS HAVE BECOME

I enjoy how Americans will post an image of a man bravely standing in front of a tank at Tiananmen every year to commemorate the wickedness of violence against protestors and then see a protester get trampled by a cop on horseback on CNN in LA and say “well what did he do wrong to deserve that?”

Women are “ordinary people.” Migrants are “ordinary people.” LGBT folks are “ordinary people.” Stop using “ordinary people” as a reference only for people who are straight, white and male. It’s simple.

the police are spiritually returning to their roots here - brutally crushing any defiance from laborers as the primary disciplining force of capital, and catching runaway human-shaped private property so they can be punished and forced to work in even more degrading conditions than they fled from

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

herein i propose a presidential fitness test, a televised gauntlet conducted right before the first presidential debate the candidate must do the following on stage and in sequence: 1. install updates on a laptop 2. pack an overnight suitcase 3. brush a dog’s teeth 4. air fry a frozen burrito

I've seen so many stories about this that the guy who was put in an asylum for suggesting to wash your hands between handling cadavers and delivering a baby makes a lot more sense to me. Medical experts are still people, and people suck.

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable

This is indistinguishable from a bit I would post on here and then repost it too many times every couple months.

Fusion power advocates be like "we've invented a brand new, highly expensive way to boil water"

What radicalized me against the police are the 2020 George Floyd protests in Brooklyn. Peaceful marches descended into violence as the NYPD rioted. They pepper sprayed elected officials and beat protesters with batons. The press blamed us for it. I've never trusted the media on protests since.

Using this to break ACAB down for anyone who still doesn’t understand. Let’s agree the shooter is a bastard. The others should have prevented him from firing, and after he fired he should have immediately been taken out. He felt comfortable enough to fire because he knows he will get away with it.

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

Dem senator: Please, protestors, there are better ways to oppose the president Voters: Like not voting for his nominees? Dem senator: haha no no no. No. What I mean is we are writing a rap

It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.

Worth bearing in mind that illegal entry is a misdemeanor and being unlawfully present in the country is not even a criminal offense, but a civil one. This is the equivalent of saying we need to torch the Constitution & send in the SWAT team to catch jaywalkers & people with overdue library books.

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 issue is not just ICE. we can live free and safe. or we can have police like we have right now. we cannot do both

cops doing crime on camera. as @chadloder.bsky.social has been pointing out all day, this is totally illegal. cops doing crime. on camera. adjust your stupid headlines accordingly.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

In Manhattan, ICE officers were forced to flee inside 26 Federal Plaza
