This is a real thing being posted and circulated by the Department of Homeland Security, referring to undocumented immigrants as “foreign invaders” and urging good Americans to turn them in. (I’ll leave it to BlueSky historians to find comparisons to WWII era materials.)

go ahead, post another "both sides" take. tell me about cafeteria complaints and affinity group graduations at liberal arts colleges set the groundwork for today's DHS. write another essay comparing the domestic mobilization of the military to the social dynamics of leftist group chats.

the extent to which elon’s stated plan to buy twitter, silence/de-clout progressive voices, promote loud shitheads in every reply, and move national media to the right just straight-up worked shows how shallow their thoughts and principles always were

I think this is something I've missed when talking about why the far right values attacking trans people so highly. It's not just that it radicalises people and teaches them anti human rights arguments, it's that it literally cultivates authoritarian thinking theconversation.com/antagonism-t...

It's crazy to me that we have on video that cop just deciding to randomly shoot at the back of an Australian journalist while she was reporting, but this level of injuries isn't raising a hell of a lot more concern than the flaming Waymos.

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

The real enemy of this administration is cosmopolitanism. Whether in Los Angeles or South Africa, multiracial pluralistic democracy is a threat to them because it means their “us or them” model of the world is wrong. So they stir up trouble on purpose and gleefully lie.

Also point this out to anyone you can. These were not planned protests. These were normies getting the supplies for their weekend projects or at a restaurant and saw their servers getting hauled off and were like this is some bullshit.

Kind of wild that the New York Times has more sympathy for an influencer who posted child porn than it does for trans children who want to be left alone.

The speed with which the mainstream institutions and load bearing media orgs have folded is unbelievable. If there is a chance for libs to control them again in the future, they should be treated as what they are: dogs that have to know their place. This is the language they love and understand.

a good thing to ask yourself when pursuing a broad political strategy is “would this have prevented the civil rights movement?”

At the end of 4 years of republican austerity (if there are elections, if democrats win), the dems will maintain 100% of the republican austerity and propose more austerity in the face of the massive deficit the republicans leave behind. Everything will be worse forever

The thing so wild about all these “The democrats need to adopt a more centrist position on trans rights” is that it’s what they’re already doing? Last election saw a bunch of leftist candidates run “haha I don’t actually support trans people in sports” publicity things and they ended up losing
