If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

They make games and movies like they used to. So many of them. Same with books.
But the mechanisms you learned about them were totally gutted and changed to only amplify shit that's already popular.
It's still there! You're just mostly on your own to find it.

Apple caved to the Trump DOJ and removed the anti-ICE apps from its App Store. Cowardice.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

FYI - we can care about a new Taylor Swift album and marriage equality simultaneously. We can celebrate a new personal best and fight ICE on the same day. We can gush about a sapphic romance, and decry human rights violations with one voice.
We can feel joy and outrage with the same heart. We must!

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

ICE agents better start reading up on the Nuremberg trials. Because when we get to the other side of this, and we will, "I was just following orders" ain't gonna cut it.

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies.
In Denmark:
- Health care and college are free.
- The starting wage is $22/hr.
- Paid parental leave is 1 year.
- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.
- All workers get pensions.

It's not just that "every accusation is a confession"; it's also that every accusation is a RATIONALIZATION. The lie that the other side is rigging elections rationalizes vote suppression. The lie that legitimate investigations are "weaponizing government" is the excuse to weaponize government.

I say it sincerely: If you did a NTSB-style breakdown of Signalgate (its origins, the incident, the aftermath), it would be a compelling study of how authoritarianism is a kind of demon that possesses people and processes and makes them stupid.

so, see how bernie is passing the torch to the younger generation? see how he's creating space for AOC by using his name, then allowing her to lead? see how SOME older people act like caring elders, and others act like half-dead, out-of-touch narcissistic control freaks?
be more like bernie.

Elon Musk is literally who Republicans imagined George Soros to be. Again, I need a good name for this pattern where Republicans bring the fear they have projected onto the world into the world, supposedly as a reaction to that fear.
Once again, Musk claims that George Soros controls the government. A classic antisemitic trope, as well as hilariously ironic considering his buying his way into the government.
