I legitimately do not understand how more people are not talking about Hegseth, his white nationalist tattoos, the ongoing military purges, and the expansion of the US' capacity and openly-stated willingness to imprison people in Gitmo and El Salvador.
Do you think Florida gets so many hurricanes because Earth itself knew they'd be the first state to so eagerly build a concentration camp for Donald Trump and wanted to wipe it out before then?

If I grabbed a child in the street and just started stabbing them, people would be horrified and try to stop me.

If I paid for a coffee made by a robot, but the robot only works by first going out and stabbing a child, people would be like "What? The guy wanted a coffee."

That's our world.

Right wingers fired up about being "replaced" by Jews and POC.

Right wingers celebrating the techbros they voted for replacing them with AI.

America is not A people.

America is many peoples.

One might even say, America is just... people.

In a deathblow to the ability to stop blatantly lawless and unconstitutional actions by the government, the Supreme Court just gutted the ability to get universal injunctions.

Maybe I'm just really naive and confused.

The president can't declare war by himself; congress has that power.

Is there no real functional stopgap to prevent the president from doing that? Is this happening just because MAGA sympathizers are all over the government now and can ram stuff through?

If there's one thing I've learned as the decades keep coming, is that a lot, no, the majority of people have a very short term memory.

Politicians move the goalposts all the time, because they can, and nobody holds them accountable.

I sometimes wish we were only fighting against stupidity...

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this.

The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying.

America really is dystopian as fuck.

Sudecon wipes. These are great for mace.

Water bottles and clothing that can ideally hold a couple of them at a time. Ones that squirt are great for tear gas.

An IFAK with added medical supplies (blister pads, bandaids and antiseptic, finger splints etc if you know how to use them, trauma shears)

If you want to prepare for a spicy summer

3M mask with extra filters. Ideally a full face respirator.

Soft body armor of some kind for impact munitions. Doesn't have to be ballistic.

Helmet. Can be ballistic. Can be bump. Even a bicycle helmet can save your life from a grenade.

If you saw someone get murdered with an axe, in the street, you'd understand the evil threat that represents, and know something should be done to stop it.

The billionaire class is doing this abstractly, at scale, and most just accept it as how things work.

And so some Democrats, learning literally nothing from history about appeasing dictators, are voting to censure Al Green for speaking up against tyranny.

What words are there to be said?

I feel like it's time the federal government learned about the very worrying discriminatory practices at work at Trump University, PragerU, or, hell, even Hogwarts.

In the USDA, multiple people have been asked to report the names of LGBTQ employee resource group leaders to higher-ranking officials.

“People came to us because they needed community, needed connection. We were trying to keep each other safe. Now, we’re all just this big target.”

As the US regresses, the United Nations and EU, especially former colonial powers (e.g. 🇬🇧🇫🇷🇪🇸🇵🇹) should address inequities in global mobility for Black people and queer people, who are often trapped in nations full of issues due to imperialism. Brain drain and proximity migration policy is not justice.
