Instead of looking for the next Zohran we should be asking where is our next Malcolm? our next Fidel? our next Lenin?

I wrote about how we can avoid the mistakes of the past by forming structures outside of our institutions whereby natural leaders emerge

I’ve never said there’s nothing you could do. Try reading a book and learning about the things you need to do when voting stops mattering. Your intellectual laziness is not my failing.

Sooooo what’s the “primary every Dem” solution to these people just doing whatever and installing a dictatorship?
it blows my mind that anyone is still pretending like trump is anything but a dictator, here is steve bannon talking about how they, in clear and certain terms, intends to install trump as president in 2028

The senate has approved four of this guy’s federal court appointees in the past 3 days. One of them got more than a dozen Democratic votes that weren’t even needed for confirmation.
Trump: I don't think we're gonna necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people. Okay? We're gonna kill them. They're gonna be, like, dead.

The tattoo is undoubtedly bad but I want to caution folks against using Jewish Insider as a source that Platner knew it was a deaths head. Jewish Insider is responsible for a lot of genocidal propaganda and should not be seen as credible under any circumstances

I’m on so many lists with the word tankie in them. I can’t believe people still use this word in 2025

i don’t normally endorse block lists (i’m on some, weirdly lumped in with people i myself have blocked) but i don’t see how blocking all these accts with one button is bad.

most importantly, DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THEM. they already own X so they wouldn’t be here if they weren’t trying to start shit.

saw this clip of the NYC mayor debate and i had tears in my eyes, perhaps the most insane section of any debate ever

Judging by how bad cops are at solving crime I bet getting away with murder is actually way easier than the shows make it seem

I wrote this a while ago about criticisms on the left of the Palestine protests and I think it can also be applied to criticisms of the liberal No Kings protests. I think the category error I see the most is in expecting the protest itself to be an end and not a means

IF there’s free and fair elections and IF democrats manage to win all they need to do is rebuild every federal agency and program from the ground up. easy peasy

I do not think it is too outlandish at this point to imagine that Elon is directly feeding a lot of this user information directly these nazis

I have been crowing on about how voting can’t save us from this mess for such a long time. Maybe this will be the thing that makes it click for people. I might be way off base but I think it’s delusional for people to talk about the midterms or 28 elections as if they are going to be real.
Roberts has always felt that the suggestion that white people might discriminate on the basis of race is a profound moral injustice, much greater than black people being denied the right to vote bsky.app/profile/jayw...
Everything about John Roberts's approach to the Voting Rights Act makes sense when you remember that John Roberts has has always been hostile to the Voting Rights Act, never believed it was appropriate, and has spent most of his 45-year legal career working to hollow it out.

Just putting out there that anyone being a scold about people wanting to keep in touch with their friends before this all happened is getting an instant block. It doesn't seem like anyone likes the CEO here either

There are only so many websites left and rich Nazis are trying to buy all of them. That's just the fact of the matter. You can't blame people just trying to keep their community, but you can help them at least temporarily find haven (hopefully here for a while)
I get why people are hesitant to leave the communities they built over years when there aren’t many alternatives and all of them seem to have similar problems and are heading in the same direction. You can’t outrun the problem when fascism is spreading and spaces are consolidating.

I’ve been locked since Kirk died over there because they’re actively trying to get people killed. I’m honestly amazed people haven’t sued since there’s definitive proof that they knew these guys were doxxing people and personally intervened to allow it.
Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now
what even happened on the other site this time
