You only purge the military if you plan on using the military against your own citizens. We are running out of time to actually act in a way that isn’t going to be full force kinetic contact.

The thing lurking beneath all this is that it's not just Trump and his cronies who know it's fake, it's all of them. Right wing media, twitter creeps, average maga voters, they all know it's made up. That's why the Media/Dem strategy of saying "Erm, technically that's not true-" is so ineffective.

So let me get this straight. Visa will provide processing on a largely unmoderated platform with vast amounts of unverified sexually explicit video, and around 50k CSAM reports yearly, but not for Pornhub, which requires uploaded ID, age-verification, model releases and moderates prior to upload.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

This is, btw, right out of the Nazi playbook to dehumanize people and give them a permission structure to hate.

This is literally the opposite of video game preservation; it's video game erasure, exactly what corpos get a raging boner for. Suck the marrow out of existing game & procedurally contort them into soulless abominations for conveyor-belt cash. While the games itself become obscure. Incredibly bleak.

Gonna need more non-disabled people to see stuff like this and understand that ableism is also one of the integral -isms the right is devoted to, so it should be jettisoned whenever and in whomever you encounter it

I get this messaging is emotionally satisfying to you, but for any one on the margins all you've done is really demonstrated they were correct that Kamala was only in it for personal gain when you post this. Like you can't do the whole "She was a true patriot and civil servant" song and dance now.

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

an important aspect of this to remember is that the misinformation isn’t an accident, they know they’re lying. that’s the intention. if they can anger and rile up their base with claims that are exaggerated they’ll continue to fuel them to gain power. they want us to live in a post-truth world

After publishing this story, which features a picture of the protest at Children's National in DC, I have been informed that moments ago, Childrens National in DC has resumed transgender care. The hospital protests worked! Keep doing them!

Man is going to charge you $100 to save you a nickel. And saving that nickel is also going to end up costing you $5000 at some point down the line. But it's nothing new, that's always been the definition of conservative economics, he just thinks it's groundbreaking because he's a dunce.

New—Social Security Administration (SSA) Commissioner stepped down bc she wouldn't comply w/ DOGE. Lower-level staffer Leland Dudek replaced her. In a now-deleted LinkedIn post (pre-promotion) shared w/ me, he said he was placed on admin leave bc he "circumvented the chain of command" to help DOGE.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

I'll save you a read, not only is this not in any sense of the word a "plan," but all this is is a description of Trump's first month and they say they will "stand up for working people" exactly twice. Even now I'm shocked by the cowardice and inaction, how can I still be shocked at this point?

My latest piece at @thenation.com takes issue with the conventional wisdom that the Dems don't know how to fight Musk's GOP brownshirts effectively. They know how. We know this because they've been waging that kind of ruthless fight against the left for 25 years. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

It is shameful that RAINN, representing sexually abused people, erased trans people because they are scared of Trump. To any org censoring themselves: you cannot jettison trans to save yourself. Yes, if you don't, other groups may suffer, and you might too. But we are all in this together.

The protests going on right now are not the same as 2016 or 2020. You are seeing a social movement in its Proto phases before we know what the final form looks like.This is something much bigger than anything We’ve seen probably since occupy much larger and angrier then 2016 or 20 time to turn it up

The answer to all of this, the answer that doesn't just kick the can down the road or throw a blanket over the evil so we can pretend it isn't there, is Communism. Or, at the very least, the end of capitalism.
