....but Kamala wasnt pro-palestine enough. The the voters who sat out 2024 or protest voted 3rd party or even voted for trump can get fucked and take a seat.

aldercheems.bsky.social•53 days ago

Rubio took credit for this and every Democratic senator voted for him.

noaxp.bsky.social•53 days ago

She wasn't pro-palestine at all. She was going to keep supporting the genocide. The repression against the campus protests started during Biden's government. They failed to differiate themselves enough from Trump, and that's why they lost. Stop blaming the voters who didn't want to support that.

ltald0raine.bsky.social•53 days ago

And what the hell are you talking about? She was for a two-state solution. Donald Trump wants a single state solution and remove Palestine from the map. Pleeeeease explain how they're the same.

noaxp.bsky.social•53 days ago

Both support genocide, but one of them is more honest about it. I didn't want Trump to win, but Kamala is not that much better, and losing the election is on them.

ltald0raine.bsky.social•53 days ago

Welp this what you wanted I guess by not voting for her. So thanks?

noaxp.bsky.social•53 days ago

I'm not from the US

ltald0raine.bsky.social•53 days ago

Then you can really go ahead and take a seat.

irongremlin.bsky.social•53 days ago

We have had 20+ fucking years to do something about the legislation that makes this shit possible, and instead we spent the years with a super-majority entrenching and reinforcing the powers this agency is currently using to terrorize legal residents so we could win points with moderate voters.

ltald0raine.bsky.social•53 days ago

Well I hope your protest vote was worth it.

irongremlin.bsky.social•53 days ago

I voted for Kamala. My point is that principles matter. Ideology matters. When we abandon those, we lose the fight even when we win, and when we don't, we lose harder. The opposite can also be true - the Rs know this, and it's why they keep advancing their agenda while we keep losing.

ltald0raine.bsky.social•53 days ago

What legislation would've prevented this? The current administration is currently wiping its ass with the constitution and are ignoring judge's orders left and right. SCOTUS has given him the greenlight to not follow the law.

irongremlin.bsky.social•53 days ago

The patriot act enabled this, ICE and their ever expanding powers enable this. He still needs at least the pretense of legality, and in this specific instance a great deal of that pretense stems from "bipartisan" legislation from the early 00s.

...

freezed00.bsky.social•53 days ago

It’s actually American voters and SCOTUS that gave him the blank check. Only afterwards came the capitulating opposition party. The sequence matters.

destinymilk.bsky.social•53 days ago

me when I haven't paid attention to anything the Democratic Party has done in the past 3 decades

pagingdoctorlove.bsky.social•53 days ago

We didn't vote for this! The election was clearly stolen, it's mind boggling that dems have said nothing. Millions of ballots were tossed, data from swing states ranges from suspect to impossible, they joked about not needing votes and having secrets, and much more. Demand investigation & removal!

seanmilligan.bsky.social•52 days ago

Alan Moore will say super heroes are fascist and nerds freak out, then when the American gestapo shows up they're wearing Avengers graphic Ts.

hopefulinthepeaks.bsky.social•53 days ago

Chilling. When will we see the rebellion?

coravill.bsky.social•53 days ago

That's what I'm waiting to see.

A US permanent resident getting disappeared. Citizens will be next.

dblusk.bsky.social•53 days ago

Brown pants, their brown shirts must have been at the cleaners

bigamishdoinks.bsky.social•53 days ago

Damn will maybe you should've stood with Palestinian protesters during the last election instead of scolding people to vote for Kamala

nancyworld.bsky.social•53 days ago

People SHOULD HAVE voted for Kamala - right? Look at what we got instead.

bigamishdoinks.bsky.social•53 days ago

No Kamala should've been a better candidate. It was her race to lose and she did because of Palestine and being unwilling to go even a little bit against Joe Biden.

nancyworld.bsky.social•53 days ago

I din't know about her needing to be a better candidate. I almost never agree on everything a candidate says. In this essentially two-party system, though, you have to pick the BETTER candidate. For comparison, Trump wants to bulldoze Gaza.

bigamishdoinks.bsky.social•53 days ago

Just like Biden and Kamala actively bulldozed Gaza.

jjapgar.bsky.social•53 days ago

Every person that has ever flown on a plane knows you gotta put your mask on before you assist someone else. We all knew one candidate would be a dictator on day one and the other wouldn’t. So here we are - now both America AND Gaza are fucked and real planes are actually falling out of the sky.

All cops are bastards.

inkonelbows.bsky.social•53 days ago

Arrested by a guy who looks like he's having friends over for a fucking BBQ.

tcwjr.bsky.social•53 days ago

Horrifying. And not even identifying who the arresting party is?

pamsowerwine.bsky.social•53 days ago

It's what they did in Portland during the first Trump administration.

Let's see if you'll be back to supporting these folks in a week or two!

overlordq.bsky.social•53 days ago

And Chuck just voted for the enabling act.

somuchderp.bsky.social•53 days ago

How many people regret not standing up for Julian Assange and Bradley Manning, and Edward Snowden when it mattered? Media complicity in the persecution of those dissidents led directly to this outcome.

jessdee.bsky.social•52 days ago

You're gonna sit here and deadname your supposed ally and think this is gonna fly?

The next few years are going to ask a lot of sacrifice by a lot of people, and you can't even sacrifice being shitty to a trans woman for like 1 minute...

You're not gonna make it, dude.

somuchderp.bsky.social•52 days ago

I'm not dead naming her. I know she's Chelsea Manning. But at the time of the leaks, she was Bradley Manning.

jessdee.bsky.social•52 days ago

That one didn't make it any better, bud.

sbooth100.bsky.social•53 days ago

No words

djsubterrain.com•52 days ago

...and it hasn't even been 3 months of the 4 YEARS...

IF there's even any elections in America's future which I highly doubt because the whole country and infrastructure has collapsed and NO-ONE has stopped Trump or his Nazis.

lmj8404.bsky.social•53 days ago

This is ridiculous and not American!

alj8.bsky.social•53 days ago

Oh this is VERY American

beefunwellington.bsky.social•53 days ago

Enraging.

stewardn.bsky.social•53 days ago

I beg everyone to not erase that this has happened to Black people forever here.

jcpillars.bsky.social•53 days ago

This is insane. What the fuck.

lukekc.bsky.social•53 days ago

The disappearing and removal of political adversaries (who have committed no crime) is fascism.

briantwalters.bsky.social•53 days ago

Should have been moving from Centre right to at least centre left long ago to combat this stuff. Instead, the Dems were playing a game that the other team wasn't playing, and hasn't been playing for 15 years. Now here we are.

bluedotinaredspace.bsky.social•53 days ago

This is terrifying. Wake up people! Next thing you know, it’s your neighbor, your kid’s teacher, a local reporter. When you finally get your head out of the sand, you’ll come to see there’s no one left. Then they’ll come for you…(as the famous poem explains).

alex-duria.bsky.social•53 days ago

Schumer didn't even say this was wrong he just said he agreed this guy sucks and told the administration to provide evidence.

As the pres is giving a fully authoritarian speech at the DOJ.

nurseboystanley.bsky.social•53 days ago

You fucking quisling baby bitch. You gave shit to these exact protesters and denied the genocide b/c you were a centrist media chaser. FUCK YOU FOREVER.

harry1724.bsky.social•53 days ago

Nailed it.

archietuliploki.bsky.social•53 days ago

Never forget this started with dumb progs like you who worship Satan cuz they can't escape their fate to be bad Christians and they need a book to follow

Joining up with them to rape and hunt people "for racism"

Too stupid to know their real goals destroy America use progs to scare bottom

coravill.bsky.social•53 days ago

This is tyranny right here. People would just pick up and disappear. This is the start...

Calling Dems the “opposition party” is quite a stretch.

SCUMBAG ICE.

margaretlarson.bsky.social•53 days ago

They’ll move on to trying to deport citizens they don’t like.

The poor guy had no idea what was happening.. he’s legal. He has rights.

Where is he?

Usa is sick as shit.

nuffnuff.bsky.social•53 days ago

To be fair, absent an explicit statement to the contrary it’s reasonable to assume Chuck Schumer supports this.

boriszee.bsky.social•53 days ago

The first few times are test cases. If the mob - and pansy dem politicians- doesn’t come raging to kick their asses, they think the public approves.

alanus.bsky.social•53 days ago

Good God Almighty. Goons with no names, no official agency just grab him up and take him away. Pure evil.

American Gestapo

Unblur their faces

pagingdoctorlove.bsky.social•53 days ago

Plain clothes and an unmarked vehicle. No warrant. Not answering the attorney's questions. This is so clearly illegal for so many reasons. I just can't believe what's happening.

“Opposition party”

samcool76.bsky.social•53 days ago
