You can’t post your way out of fascism Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them 🔗 www.404media.co/you-cant-pos...

This is my political hot take for the month. Kendrick Lamar would make an incredible US Senator. If anything seeing him filibuster a bill for an hour on the floor would be amazing.

seeing this chart set in he’s doing sex selective IVF for boys and that’s why he lost his fucking mind and became a hardline fascist when vivian came out as trans, he’s a freak

AOC is following this woman who never heard of the eastern front

guy who doesnt know who the allied and axis powers were

Worth noting how this number triples from one billion to three billion during the Biden administration.

I am so heartbroken. I got to know Elisa two years ago when she came to me with hundreds of emails of anti-trans legislators scheming around restricting trans rights. I helped get her story told by the New York Times and Washington Post. She deserved so much better. RIP.

Elon Musk is calling for the CFPB's remaining account balance of $711,586,678 to be returned to the American taxpayers. That you give everyone $2-$3. But returning Elon Musk’s money to taxpayers would give everyone about $1,300 each.

They don't care

"Moment of Unity" The propaganda is propagandaing

If you ever wondered what people in Germany 1934 were doing to fight against fascism look no further than American liberals

I feel like accepting and repurposing fascist arguments is probably not a good idea I don't think the weak/strong dichotomy is necessary. Moreover, I'd rather protect the "weak" than use their "weakness" as a reason to dislike them.

Getting brain damage anytime someone calls liberals/the Democratic party 'The Left' Being vaguely left of Attila the Hun means jack shit, really.

they do not seem to think that civil society is real and their mental model of the world holds that people are drones who will do what they’re told

Imma clap about the tariffs, but in reality it’s black people from Alberta and black people from Texas receiving the brunt of this political warfare. Donald trump is waging this war yea, and he should be blamed, but don’t close y’all hearts to the continued suffering emplaced on black people

DEI includes you. No one is more than one unlucky moment away from permanent disability.

COVID is still happening. I know because I'm bedridden after my third infection cause nobody cared enough not to infect each other. Please stop saying "during COVID". It makes it sound like it's over.

For about 25 years people have been warning centrist politicians that they were creating the infrastructure for totalitarianism. Totalitarian methods of control and surveillance were being built within liberal democracy. They only awaited a government to use them for total ends.

Here's Lee Atwater, Republican strategist for Ronald Reagan and George Bush, discussing this topic in 1981 youtu.be/X_8E3ENrKrQ?...

Donald Trump: 'I will deport 30,000 migrants to Gitmo' Chuck Schumer: 'This is unacceptable, this is not American - the number must not exceed 20,000 and we will work with the Trump Administration on this.'

After seeing enough people talk about vulnerable groups “fucking around and finding out” under the onslaught of the Trump administration, I decided I had to write a response. My latest: www.jphilll.com/p/i-dont-wan....

Libs on bluesky will really be like "you believe in community organizing and mutual aid? That pales in effectiveness to my strategy, winning elections and hoping the politicians fix all the problems" and then not win elections.

useless

Because Dems were afraid that if they set a precedent of holding a President accountable then they might also be held accountable in the future. Because they're sympathizers. This happened in Nazi Germany. They didn't hold Hitler accountable for his putsch prior to him taking power either.

You think this won't happen to you and it may not. That is possible. But it might. And you might be the reason it happens to someone else.

I'm done arguing with liberals for the most part. Too many people are off the BlueAnon deep end right now and aren't operating in reality. You can't have a conversation with someone who is coming from a position of "My party and I are right about everything" after they've lost twice to a clown.

one reason democrats should cut the “we just want to work together” shit is that you lose the opportunity to do things like, for instance, hold a loud press conference on the fact that trumps ICE thugs arrested a veteran www.newarknj.gov/news/mayor-r...

Some of y'all gotta realize being "anti-capitalist" is more than just hating rich people. Too many of y'all wear that like a badge of honor, like it's some kind of initiation to sit at the "leftist" table in the caf. Y'all turn politics into team sports and that's half the reason we got ganked

The guy who supports the German Neo-Nazi party is a Nazi. No need to indulge the many, various forms of dishonesty around it.

'You're in a desert, walking along when you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and flip it over on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not with out your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?'

Just found out that Jamelle Bouie has a YouTube channel for relatively short form content youtube.com/@jbouie_nyt?...

Trump and Musk have left no doubt as to the fascist, Nazi nature of their regime. The bombardment of executive orders, of hatred, of attacks has already begun. But we can't react to every move they make. We must build the power to beat them over the long haul. www.jphilll.com/p/inaugurati...

One of the most important adjustments people need to make right now is getting in the mindset of not leaving a record that could be used against you or people close to you in some way. Resources aren't infinite and you don't want to make it easier for them to narrow their focus.
