Our local Republican Party office here in medium-town Wisconsin has several "Deport Liberals" signs in the windows, just in case anyone was wondering how widespread the GOP's violent fantasies are.

In a bit of history rhyming, this year will also mark the 10th anniversary of when a man murdered three people in a Planned Parenthood and Ted Cruz called him a "transgendered leftist"

My god. 6 MILLION acres of public lands in Oregon, including the vast majority of our national forests, will be sold in a fire sale if the MAGA budget passes.

time for my new favorite tumblr post

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

As long as all ideological apparatuses are dominated by capital we do not live in a democracy

I once posted on Twitter that any white person who reflexively opposed antifa would likely have been opposed to the civil rights demonstrations of the sixties. People got VERY mad, but I was just summarizing the data.

Things get chopped up in coverage and context gets lost. What’s happening is an authoritarian regime with existing and increasingly radicalized agencies and law enforcement are brutalizing and disappearing people while the cultists who support them are carrying out asymmetric violence and murders.

The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it

The USA could find a way to screw this up. Like, we'd probably enact this, but only after it's clearly just GOP killing GOP out there, thus ensuring the GOP rules forever, and challengers fighting incumbents to the death is the new norm.

It’s a shame the Don’t Tread On Me flag was appropriated by the pro treading on me community because it’s a pretty badass flag and I am tired of being tread upon.

I would like my state, every state, to mandate badges, name plates, no masks, for all law enforcement in the state. And if federal agents try to break the mandate, arrest them, then let the courts sort it out.

Arturo Obrego, a 77-year-old army veteran who hitchiked from Huntington Beach is going viral for getting hit with wooden baton by officers on horses and knocked down during today’s peaceful “No Kings” protest in DTLA. @TheGlutster ran into him at Union Station a couple of hours after the incident.

You can't teargas people into loving your policies

Oh my GOD this is CRIMINAL I LOVE IT

Over on Xitter, Kristi Noem is promising to help in MN. 10 days ago, ProPublica reported on the 22-yo Heritage flunky she put in charge of preventing hate-fueled attacks. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

If you recognize this pair of wannabe ICE impersonators who appeared at the Miami “No Kings” protest today, please get in touch. We will make them famous. 😈

If we could be a country that threw police who do this in prison, I'd stop calling us a shithole country. This is illegal. These police are criminals. There is nothing to debate here. They are violent criminals who should never own a gun again, but that won't happen in this shithole country.

I literally, unironically trust the Onion more than the New York Times to tell me the truth.

Been listening to this one bird in my front yard. I hear him, and think, "THIS motherfucker." This speaking in paragraphs motherfucker. He gets going, it's gonna be half an hour. Overture, intro, verse, chorus, DAMN that was good ONE MORE TIME chorus, verse, hiccups maybe? verse, dramatic bridge,

"Sheriff has history of cop-like behavior"

YESSSSS It's brilliant, it's vital, and I could listen to her voice all day.

Proud of Minnesotans

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

every golf course in the U.S. must be carpet bombed to flush the killer out of hiding

🤔

republicans in 2028 running a police dog attacking a protester and its running mate is a fire hose it wins 48 percent of the vote

Breaking @propublica.org: Bukele of El Salvador has become one of Trump’s favorite authoritarians, and Trump touts him as a foe of MS-13. But a US investigation has found evidence he has colluded with the gang, even paying it for votes. www.propublica.org/article/buke...

A terrifying display of threats and violence!

Avoid the violence/nonviolence debate. It’s a trap. The only thing that matters is what actions lead to more justice and less harm. Inaction and complicity in the face of brutal oppression is the worst form of violence. Never forget it.

When they think no one is looking. *Cops damaging their own cars?
