Your newspapers are lying to you. This week - xenophobic race-baiting, Trumpist propaganda, and unhinged jingoism, on the latest broadcast of Radio Free America.

Don't be a sucker. Listen to RFA to understand just how the lies work, from insidious to blatant.

I always figured this was uncontroversial, but why bother listening to folks who have been doing the work for years? It's far better to ignore any experience and pretend that no one has ever engaged in protests before. (/s)
With all due respect, there’s an established discipline among activists that forbids communication with even the press as an individual, far less law enforcement. This in itself is a major and dangerous breach already, it’s not hypothetical.

Richest man in Georgia pushes anti trans, anti gay legislation. Richest man in Hungary is close to homophobe Viktor Orban. Weird how these keep getting presented as organic views springing endogenously from the working class
Richest man in England endorses “populist” views just like the richest man in America. Weirdest populism I’ve ever seen

We need a treklit feed, my mental state would be much improved if my socials were mostly people sharing what treklit books they're reading this week

Like believing that underage girls should only be sex toys for older men, for one.

I know people struggle with reading literacy, so let me make myself crystal:

The only way that the pedo fascists running this planet are defeated is if you personally do something about it. Don't wait on the 8 billion of us. We won't be doing shit, judging by most of history.
February 12, 2026 at 12:22 PM
Fuck anyone who dares say that there is hope. What we have to look forward to is unceasing war as the pedo fascists continue to steal larger and larger pieces of our world. If there is hope, it's that me and mine will survive the Jackpot. No one else seems to care.

This war is the most black-and-white morally clear fucking conflict in human history. And yet, instead of, you know, defending democracy, stopping genocide, and defeating fascism, the world decided that bleeding my country indefinitely is preferable to taking any action to stop this war.

"Dooming isn't helpful"

I have spent four years of my life under literally physical attack by genocidal fascists and there is literally no end in sight for that. Fuck you. What hope have I?
February 12, 2026 at 12:10 PM
Things suck, will continue to suck, will continue to get worse, because no one is actually attacking the power that the fash and pedos hold. They only talk about it and tut-tut. But tutting does not actual power make!
February 12, 2026 at 12:08 PM
People will so often write as if we do not live in a world with genocidal fascists and billionaire pedophiles but we in fact do. Worse, the pedos and fash fucking own everything. This is a nightmare planet with a horrifically dystopian culture.

I do not understand what makes people so confident that there's no boogeyman under the bed when the boogeyman is currently trying to murder his neighbors and take their house.

Of course there was blackmail. Of course some of his money (good chink prolly) was Russian money laundering.
Couple getting your first few hundred million in that way with then trading off the incredible insider information your network of “friends” sends to you, and there’s no huge mystery to solve as to Epstein’s wealth.

He didn’t need to blackmail. Real soft power is subtler than that.

No, I'm not being serious. And don't call me Shirley.

It is a real indicator of where we are at in this moment that when everyone shows up and says "This is a Nazi bar, and we don't like Nazis" the response is "Well they *do* like a drink, and they are quite sad, and who are we to not take their money and give them a place to hang out?"

I definitely need the new Toyota Hilux Champ with its hydraulic dump bed which is definitely used for dumping soil and gravel and other things and definitely not other Hilux things that might also benefit from a hydraulic-actuated platform. Just things like Mulch, Loam, Rocks, Sand, you know… MLRS

Our latest investigation into the supply of industrial equipment to Russia from Taiwan and Europe has been noticed in Taiwan, and we hope it will lead to actions. I am grateful to everyone who supports us, as our work would be impossible without your donations. Please consider supporting our efforts

People are really missing that the reason why MAGA can retain and grow its people is because of their well funded reality tunnel.

Right now negative polarization is helping boost Democrats, this isn’t an infinite resource. You need to also build up the infrastructure to maintain and grow your base

Another way of silencing Ukrainians on the international stage is to kill their voice and/or careers.

Athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych was disqualified from competing at the Olympics for wearing a helmet with pictures of fellow Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia.

Ukrainian luger Olena Smaga supported Heraskevych. After one of her runs, she showed her hand with the words written on it: "Remembrance is not a violation."

Soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine also supported Ukraine’s Olympic team, which reminds the world about athletes killed by Russia.
