Take a break from our government killing my neighbors in Minnesota. Let’s talk about our government killing people in boats instead.

We killed some more people in boats this week. My latest Angry Shmo post: open.substack.com/pub/ericchan...

The Danes were willing to fight in one of the most dangerous parts of Afghanistan--Helmand. And, yes, they could have opted out--others did.
Such is the outrage in Denmark over both Trump’s desire for Greenland and disparaging remarks about NATO that one of the country’s leading newspapers devoted their Saturday front and plenty of room inside to the bios of all 44 Danes slain during NATO missions in support of the US

In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society.
How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it

It’s pretty fucking wild that the DOJ is releasing files that include accusations that the President of the United States raped underage girls, to distract from the fact that the DOJ is covering up murders of US citizens by their own government.

The charges against Don Lemon are ridiculous. He’s a target because he’s black, because he’s media, and because he’s a Trump critic, and because Trump and his minions cannot accept any dissent. It’s deeply pathetic, unamerican, and lawless.

See if you can list the Five Freedoms without googling them. Then ask yourselves which ones are violated each and every single day that you wake up.

I don't know. I think in some ways it's worthwhile to point out that as bad as things are most of us have no idea how bad they could really be if we become an actual fascist state. It's actually a calling for us to do MORE right now while we can.
