Just gonna drop this from MLK’s letter from a Birmingham jail. Full text here: www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen...

Trump policies just there to maximise cruelty. No material benefit from this at all.

Emperor coming out buck naked and no one says shit

See snippet below from the wiki entry on the US Bullion Depository. There have only been three published trips into the vault. First was FDR shortly after completion and it had been filled. Second was in the 1970s due to a conspiracy theory that it was empty. Third was during Trump 1.0 in 2017.

Remember: if you see ICE acting in your area… stop them. The power is in the people en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenmure...

The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me? -1984, book 3, chapter 3

I look forward to the next sick Democrat dunk where they pithily inform us how water is wet or the sun is hot. We get it, you useless fucks. Musk and orange man bad. What do you intend to do about it?

Elon Musk’s unparalleled online reach has given him a powerful tool to attack individuals who criticize DOGE, with one post able to spark hundreds of blistering responses from his followers.

So there’s a thing called catastrophe theory which focuses on the idea of irreversible change. I feel like we are about to get a bunch more real life examples of its application to political theory…

“Um, Actually” ass party.

To help keep me grounded I’ve been enjoying a rewatch of Steven Universe with my kids. It’s amazing how good the show is with character development and just a gorgeous animation style… plus the songs. So much great music.

This is how anyone talking about the current coup in terms of the law sounds to me. Y’all need to wake up to the fact that rule of law is a reactive mechanism for justice and doesn’t work when the enforcement framework has been dismantled by those in power.

It’s amazing now how fast I hit my limit of doomscrolling social media. Five minutes on here in the morning is enough doom for an entire week.

I highly recommend people read 1984, Book 3, Chapter 3 if they want to understand the MAGA view of power.

Never gonna shake that deplorable label

NYT might have absolutely fuckall to say about Musk trashing the US govt, but they do have a chili recipe for you! Paper of record my left fucking nut.

So. Dems are showing themselves to be largely feckless in the face of motivated fascists. What do we do? 1. Organise and act locally. 2. Build parallel power structures. 3. Give governmental power to outside progressive parties (eg PSL). You can has little a doom as a treat, but then work time

I guess if we can’t effectively stop them using tools available may as well just neg them and do some ego damage… I hear Elon has a small peepee. This will surely stop him.

My boy Fred has some wise words here. Look for the helpers… those actually doing something. Unfortunately that is t Congress at this point. Find your local activist org and look for the helpers or be a helper yourself. youtu.be/NB5uSHCIgS0?...

Super cool that Labour kicked the can down the road on Climate & Nature bill on a day when UK experiencing once in a lifetime storm for the second time since 2010

Can’t wait for someone to reverse engineer the Tesla unlock back door.

I was idly browsing the story of the latest FAFO recipient NoahS0016 and came across someone defending him by encouraging better online security. Looked at their main feed and can’t say I’m surprised. Twitter is a flaming cess pit.

Any sick fuck wants to inspect my kids’ genitals before they use the toilet going to find out real quick how we deal with sick fucks.

We made it y’all. Steam is here to vacuum our bank accounts dry!
