homeless trans puppygirl says "rest in piss charlie kirk:" 30 day suspension for glorifying violence
the federal government says "we will kill you" to random people on boats: not a violation of terms of service because state violence is legitimate violence in the eyes of liberal capitalists.

okay so why is this post still up & account still existing? actual question. the account isn’t even verified like some of the other fed gov accounts either, but also it shouldn’t matter when they post “we will kill you” along with videos of them killing people.

Right wing screeching about the “war on Christianity” never includes complaints about secret police raiding houses of worship to rip families apart (or, for that matter, bombing churches in Palestine)
Here’s a story for every national news outlet:
In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.
“Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.”

The Democratic consultant class is largely oblivious. But what incentive might compel them to examine their beliefs and assumptions? -> They made about $500 million presiding over the catastrophic loss of the 2024 election. Financially, they win by losing.
Also, if you’re a Dem who can’t see that Epstein IS about affordability, u need a new job. A bunch of very rich people have rigged the system to make sure they stay rich and don’t have to play by the rules the rest of us do — tax law, antitrust law, and even laws against sex trafficking children.

As GW Bush advisor Matt Dowd said years ago, “If you're arguing against us while using our language, we're winning."
This isn't it. Embracing the police-state rhetoric of people with criminal records as "the worst of the worst," even if only to show the Trump regime's hypocrisy, is not helpful and ultimately abets fascism and a white-supremacist government. One in every three US adults has a criminal record.

It's really hard not to come to the conclusion that that is quite deliberate on their part, too. So many of their policy demands involve forced genital inspections, and so many of their close allies turn out to be nonces. They're trying to devalue the words in order to protect themselves.
