it makes complete sense, they don’t want to be an opposition party. they’ve told everyone this repeatedly, there’s not going to be any moment where they come around on this. Schumer was yucking it up with Rubio a day ago, they’re happy with this status quo
dem strategy makes no sense. voters don't like how chaotic trump is. media and dumb swing voters just convinced themselves he would be more normal in round 2. when dems downplay trump latest insanity, it cedes ground and creates the impression that what he is doing is within the realm of reason.

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

Here’s a comment for the people who are upset that MN hasn’t charged Jonathan Ross already:

If you just Leeeroy Jenkins this shit you will lose and you will empower fascism and murder.

It is indescribably hard to prosecute cops for murder. It is even hard when the murder is ON VIDEO.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

To create change, we have to believe change is possible. If you can't do something big, do something small. If you can't do something small, support people who can. There will always be something worth fighting for and there will always be someone fighting to save it

Incoming thread about CBP, ICE, the violence in Portland and Minneapolis, plus NSPM-7, white supremacist accelerationism, and why this all matters.

It’s a bigger, more dire fascist situation that’s we all need to confront — which demands more info and context than “all the same Gestapo shit”

Bluesky: where people get pissed at me for providing accurate information to call attention to an even bigger fascist situation we should be taking action against
Here’s another reason why it matters — it shows the intent of the federal government vis-a-vis political dissent.

In other words, sending THIS arm of fascists pretty clearly proves the purpose of NSPM-7 is treating protest as terrorism and is unrelated to immigration.

I also need to add: this dynamic of inciting polarization to destabilize and seize state power is what birthed ISIS.

It was the strategy of Zarqawi’s Al Qaeda in Iraq to leverage insurgency against occupation into civil war.

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

The scale of the protests in Iran are absolutely unbelievable. Hard to quantify, but I've seen some speculation that this uprising is more significant than the 2023 protests (themselves the largest challenge to the regime since it came into power in '79.)

and the fact that it wasn’t pulled immediately after the grok CSAM incident says everything you need to know about the way “protecting children” is used as a justification for anything else. it’s never really about that at all. it’s all just power & capital.
Honestly think that if you pulled twitter from the App Store and shut it down it would fuck up the entire right wing ecosystem at that point. Like the entire media apparatus would fall apart.

It's not exaggerating to say that one of the most important things to do to START fixing US law enforcement is to not allow masks and above all STOP LETTING THEM DRESS LIKE SPECIAL FORCES.

I think the militarization of police and the attitudes toward civilians it breeds are fundamental.
