“We’re the good guys,” I tell myself as a 6-year-old leukemia patient pees his pants in fear. I adjust my black mask and sunglasses in the mirror, making sure to hide my identity. “I am not evil,” I whisper.

Hard not to believe that the current moment will not completely poison many people's ability to trust the US government for a long time. No-one really believes that the masked men dishing out the kind of violence will ever face any sort of accountability.

World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

Ah here comes @cnn.com with the bullshit straight out of 2003

Fuck all of you "I couldn't in good conscience vote for Kamala" lefties, fuck you all forever.

Faceless government goon arrests public official for refusing to hand over a vulnerable person without a warrant. Guess the country.

if you're trans or black or muslim, everything you do is considered political, but if you're a christian terrorist, you're just an apolitical part of The System (derogatory)

It’s not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOP’s hands. They’ve built this political environment and they’ve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.

“Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest"

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

Well, that was quick. I'm pretty sure we should all stop saying that the shooter in Minnesota was dressed like a policeman and just assert that there is no longer any way to know whether or not anyone is or isn't law enforcement. Because that is the truth.

Lesson 13 of "On Tyranny": Practice corporeal politics. Find your No Kings protest, June 14th.

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

mike johnson desperately wants to be a supplicant to a king

A DHS official told me Noem & security had no idea who Senator Padilla was. Now, the FBI is running with the statement that the senator "did not identify himself and was not wearing his senate security pin" — but he very much did identify himself, loudly, on video...

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

This cannot stand. We live in a free country where every citizen has the right to freedom of speech and assembly. Senator Padilla was exercising those rights on behalf of his constituents.

He's not "Trump's top general"; he works for us and swore an oath to the Constitution

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

Bash: "The Defense Secretary tweeted holding out the possibility of active duty Marines to be mobilized. You would be okay with that?" Sen. Ron Johnson: "It won't be necessary."

Q: "Would you support mobilizing the Marines and do you think Congress would need to sign off on that first?" Sen. Lankford: "Active duty marines are not going to be put into local law enforcement...Local law enforcement should take care of this."

"ThEyRe FlYiNg MeXiCaN FlAgS In ThE StREeTs" Give me a break Police were beat with American flags on January 6th Ohh not to mention the confederate flag being waved in the rotunda

Is this just kind of like repeat it until you believe it yourself? Your boss pardoned everyone who assaulted law enforcement on January 6th. Ass!!!

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

Russian drone attack vs Ukraine drone attack

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Happy Fragile Straight Man Month!

New GOP slogan just dropped.

His politics are bad. His worldview is bad. But I will be damned if I’m going to succumb to the same hatred he spent the final years of his life selling. michaelianblack.substack.com/p/wishing-well

Just catching up on the news

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

If you’re an ICE agent or other local authority committing these unwarranted abductions, fuck you, you’re not just doing your job, you’re failing a moral test. May you never sleep peacefully again
