DEAR DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS‼️

stop talking like there is any possibility of making ICE a better ICE. It’s not happening.

ICE needs to go. Period.

What are you saying? “Let’s make slave catchers nicer.” It’s moral nonsense.

Starfleet Academy? The first episode was good. The second episode was bad. In E2 they produced conflict basically by having characters show up and yell that regardless of how the story's coming fuck it, time to be mad.

Hey, so. After Charlie Kirk was killed, did the left doxx his kids' school and barrage it with so much harassment and violent threats it had to shut down for the safety of the students and staff?

Because the right did that to Renee Good's six year old son's school.

all day i've been thinking "every person who talks about how people should not 'take the bait' as part of some kind of optics/electoral focused strategy should have to agree to let everyone under occupation beat them up after it's over"

If I was kidnapped by ICE I'd be so annoyed at everyone who stood and watched and waited til the midterms to set a good example for society at large.

When I look at fascism throughout history I regularly think "this happened bc the population protested and resisted the secret police too much. I wish they had chilled out, demonstrated proper civility so as not to earn the already occurring oppression, and let the fascist lose the next election

Makes me feel insane to live in a world that's persecuting trans folk while simultaneously doing big billboards advertising gender affirming care to cis people???

This is immensely painful stuff for politicians and press, I’d guess. All the lads *love* a trip to Washington, whether as part of the press pack or on some jolly or other with the Crookpot Foundation For Technological Democracy. All looking dicey, now.
It’s fun how the public were repeatedly told Starmer had played a blinder with his relentless ball-sucking deference to the Donald but now, once it can no longer be denied, it turns out it was all sycophancy, grovelling, fawning and turning a blind eye. Weird! How did that happen?

People are forgetting the part of the joke where this absolutely works. As this will. Democrats will let it happen. The EU will let it happen. The UK will let it happen. They're venal cowards and no help is coming. You must rely on your own minds and hands to resist.

Gavin Newsom cannot please Ben Shapiro and the majority of Democrats he seeks to lead at the same time - so he chooses Ben Shapiro.
70% of all Harris voters in 2024 and 65% of all self identified Democrats believe Israel has committed genocide

60% of Democrats believe Israel kills children intentionally and whopping 77% overall have a negative view of Israel.

No help is coming from any other country. You must resist yourself, with your own minds and hands.
Nothing more pathetic than the British rightwing press

Today marks 133 years since the US' illegal overthrow of our sovereign country of Hawaii, not unlike #venezuelainvasion. The US banned Hawaiian language and forcibly made us a fruit & tourism colony & military outpost for imperialism. But we Native Hawaiians continue to resist.

Yeah, HIM is a fucking great movie. I guess it was saying the right things to the wrong people. Very enjoyable when you don't identify with your class enemies.

Feels like the the core problem with Trump is America just... not taking him seriously.

He comes to you like "I'm gonna put a knife in your eye" and you kinda laugh. It's so absurd! Then he does it. And you go, "wow, that's too crazy to be real." But now you're half blind and he's not done talking.
REPORTER: Do you commit to not militarily engaging NATO partners?

TRUMP: I don't talk about that

REPORTER: You're not willing to commit to not attacking a NATO partner?

The bad guys are not going to The Hague. The bad guys are not going to stand trial. The bad guys are not going to fall to free and fair elections. The bad guys are not going to be stopped by NATO. Your foreign friends won't really stand up to the bad guys. No help is coming from anywhere else.

Our challenge now is to stay focused on our goals of resisting authoritarianism and promoting liberation for everyone, without descending into the quagmire of punching each other because we're the only targets that we can reach.

I do not have the power to make you not angry. I also do not have the power to give you purpose. Many people share your distress, and that may serve as an indicator that if you can find a way to escape the pit of despair and find something to motivate you, perhaps you can help others to do the same.

I see that some folx haven't yet realized that the regime doesn't have to "cancel elections," all they have to do is send ICE agents with tear gas to the polling places and claim they're "protecting the vote from illegals." 21st century poll exams: You can win any election if you choose who votes.

Not going to repost WaPo, but Bondi and the DoJ are issuing subpoenas to Tim Walz and Jacob Frey for impeding law enforcement.

Related, the thing about tepid action or absolute inaction in the face of fascism is that fascists are just going to pretend you did the most treasonous things anyway.

I feel like the Nobel peace prize people could have avoided this if they gave their medal to someone who dedicated their life to peace, rather than just "this person is an opposition leader."
