I'd say you couldn't make this shit up, but this is their script and it's exactly why we are here with things as they are today.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

One thing I've noticed following news closely for 20 years now is that any time we have occasion to look closely at police behavior, we find incompetence. They don't prevent crimes, they don't solve crimes, they suck terribly at their actual job. There are exceptions, but that is the rule.

The Telegraph opinion: Washington is ending military aid to Ukraine. Trump’s team insists a negotiated peace is now in America’s best interest. Europe must now choose: step up, pay for U.S. weapons, or fund Ukraine’s own arms industry. But promises far outweigh delivery, and time is running out.

If Elon Musk didn't have the board of Tesla under his thumb, he would've been fired for the lies he repeatedly and intentionally told about this tragic political assassination. I can't imagine any company in America allowing a CEO to stay on after doing what Musk did. He's scum.

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

I absolutely think we need to keep in mind how we might obtain accountability. But raising the import of doing so--with no consideration of the massive undertaking or strategy it would require--is naive.

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

The way that some people just jumped on the Minnesota shooter being a committed leftist, and gleefully used it to attack people opposed to MAGA, only to go completely silent when it turns out he was a Trump supporter, tells you all you need to know about how we have ended up with this catastrophe

Imagine if the mainstream media were this honest. “What threw people off the most was the inaction of Biden’s DOJ, which…was an indicator of complicity, likely directed by operatives behind the scenes. You don’t let sedition go unpunished unless the plan is for the seditionist to return.”

"Impunity, the sadist’s conception of freedom, mainstreamed and marketed as the new American dream." Everything you need to know about 21st-century politics in one sentence from @sarahkendzior.bsky.social's all too superb third book, "They Knew." Every passing day just reinforces her insights.

Tenure isn't the problem: we should want all educators to have tenure. Tenure is just sparkling job security. Given our current institutions, who is granted opportunities to attain tenure and who is disproportionately awarded tenure is what bears scrutiny.

"...and [non-violent resistance] is a much more inclusive technique of struggle." If your idea of people power isn't inclusive of normies, it isn't an idea of people power.

There goes the nonsense argument that placing American industry inside Ukraine will act as air defense from Russia because they wouldn't dare strike such facilities. By the way, Russia has been striking US-owned enterprises in Ukraine throughout the war.

If ppl actually practiced solidarity w/ disabled ppl &masked, this wouldn't happen. The left's embrace of eugenics ensures this outcome; lack of solidarity reinforces vulnerability. As long as the left refuses to grapple w/ its eugenics problem our so-called anti-fascist movement exists in name only

Every fascist uses illness and violence to disable opponents. They disable us with covid, poverty, police violence, climate destruction, war, transphobia. They count on ableism to make us deny this reality and to abandon each other. Resist. Wear an n95. Use alt text. Make protests accessible.

So the woman arrested for wearing a medical mask at a protest was released; cops said it requires a doctor's note. This is not true of the local laws where they are, but—as we told you happens—cops don't know or pay attention to these regulations.

Just a reminder that Trump considered pardoning the men who plotted to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer. “I’m going to look at it. I will take a look at it. It’s been brought to my attention. I did watch the trial. It looked to me like somewhat of a railroad job.” www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

The tech industry needs serious, meaningful regulation about the things it can sell and how it can sell them, and the neoliberal bullshit of “free markets” has allowed this nakedly harmful software to proliferate, taking advantage of the fact that more people than ever feel alone and desperate
