Historically, nothing would be more like giving Trump "what he wants" than to go meekly, without a fight, into slavery... Because THAT is what Trump really wants; For us to not fight back.
Arresting them, that would be how it's done.

lmfao. Youtube interrupted him in the middle of his announcement, to show me an ad. Which is OK, because it gave me pause to think, "Why am I even watching this?" and close the window.
I simply don't get why people keep amplifying and promoting his skeets. Just block and move on, he never says anything interesting or new, just endless fascist agitprop.
Just sn announcement of another payoff, this time to Tommy Tuberville, for blocking all those Biden nominations.
Dem leadership has treated the left like "what are you going to do, vite for a Republican? lol" dismissively while courting Republicans. They've mostly been right, but supporting a genocide while standing on stage looking starstruck at Liz fucking Cheney broke things.
Launching every shitty propaganda tactic, in order to hide the truth: Other than paid shills, the DNC has few friends on bluesky. And those shills are as easy to trigger as other fascists... like this: bsky.app/profile/blan...
That's just their propaganda "setting". The facts, as usual, don't agree with PoS like Greenwald. I see A LOT of anti DNC content, to wit... bsky.app/profile/blan...
Abolish ICE day one. SC reform day one. Canโt play around with norms anymore-theyโre gone.

Yes, you're still a fool and a buffoon, for continuing to believe the scam you were sold about "AI".
Fascists arresting Punks. What a fucking surprise. Republicans are all pieces of shit. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...
Happy Labor Day!
dox every memebr of ice. Dox every fascist you find. Make fascists fear being openly in your community.
It's often been debated if Trump could pull off a fascist takeover of the United States, because he's clearly not very smart. I talked to @anneapplebaum.bsky.social about that for my newsletter
Trump was never the full threat. He was always a figurehead and an avatar for the real power of American fascism and his pan right backers.
Just saying.. got ".to" it...
I was active in 1980+ in LA. Never got to see DKs live, just bad timing. Got to see a lot of these bands young, because I had a fake ID. I was (am) very much a nardcore punk. LOL.
Fuck it, more punk rock. Speaking of which, when I hear the words "Punk Rock" this is one of the bands the teenager still living deep down hears... Minor Threat - In My Eyes...
We played a little music for @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, so here's an inspirational little track for everyone else, from @dead-kennedys.bsky.social....
This one goes out to @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, the DNC's pay-per-troll army, and everyone who believes in the kayfabe...
"...and disregarding the humanity of '๐ต๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ด๐ฆ ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฆ'." FTFY. We all know what dog you're whistling for. Be a better human.
You think he's simply ignorant?
Good advice. Read the whole thread.
Ten Individual First Aid Kits (IFAKs) & extra wound packing gauze has arrived. Weโre getting these out to folks hitting the ground protecting our community & documenting the violence of the federal occupation. Thank you to all who have donated & made this possible. We keep us safe.
Was it color? I remember several that had TIE ripoffs. Starfighter-1, for instance, but that was B&W
"There is nothing in the middle of the road but yellow lines and dead armadillos". Good advice for today's Democratic party loyalists. And the Democratic party's owners/operators, but those people are too extremist to realize the core reality of the situation anyways and are paid not to anyways.
I donโt know who needs to hear this, but we donโt need to fight fairly against fascism. We just need to fight.

I saw someone here call it "White-People Wishcasting" and I can't think of a more appropriate label.
If Fox News went out of business and shut down tomorrow it might not fix everything but it sure would fix a lot of shit.

Because they've been humping for the Oligarchy since the 90s, when Clinton put a CIA dude in charge & made them seek commercial funding, and just don't know any longer, as an institution, how to stop, or what "journalism" even means.

Please, don't wait till they come for you. Because they ARE coming for all of us. They literally want to kill or exile 200 million US citizens.
I am just going to say this again bluntly: Blue states are going to need to become the federal government. Mutual aid compacts, mutual defense compacts, healthcare, taxes, trade the whole deal. Literally create a new system outside of the fascist federal system.
This Day in Labor History: August 28, 1963. The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom took place in Washington, DC. Unlike what modern conservatives and even much of the civil rights establishment wants you to remember, workers rights and economic freedom was central to the March!!!!!
70 years ago, on this date, Emmett Till was kidnapped and brutally murdered by white men. His family, including his cousin who was with him at the time, is repeating the train ride he took from Chicago to Mississippi in 1955 to mark the anniversary
"The report zeroes in on 16 cases where people have been arrested by government agents and held for extended periods of time without access to a lawyer, or to the outside world. The legal term for such detentions is โenforced disappearance." www.kuow.org/stories/secr...
Applies to Americans now, as well as Ukrainians.

I don't post much any more, but for everyone poring over the manifesto, scrawlings, and footprint following the Minneapolis shooting, here's a timesaver. The aim is to be remembered, discussed, to turn oneself into content that then becomes the next reference on a gun.
Stop doing publicity stunts at concentration camps, and start fighting the fascist coup instead.
We were going to do another big marketing stunt for THE TOXIC AVENGER UNRATED. Instead, Toxie, whose life was upended by crushing medical bills, has joined forces with Undue Medical Debt to erase at least $5 million in un-payable medical debt for those who need it most. Learn more:
Yeah, such an outcome would be a 100% win.
well, making immigration illegal was a key part of their campaign platform, so... stopproject2025comic.org/comic/immigr...
Now that the fascist machine has secured the destruction of the United States, it's moving on to its next long-prepared victim, Britain. Same lies, Same racism, Same violence, Same capitulation by the political class, Same lack of actual resistance, Same outcome. But also, same solution.

@ossoff.senate.gov is owned by Google and other techbros. Just doing what his employers tell him too. Then trying to scam Dem loyalists for some more "yacht money". www.opensecrets.org/members-of-c...

Compromising with racist, genocidal fascists is certainly a stance... Not one that's likely to win any voters, in fact more likely to drive them away, but then that's just apparently the right-wing, authoritarian bubble these "new Dems" live in... Pitiful.
Democrats, if which they mean DNC politicians, don't feel anything, until their billionaire owners tell them what to feel. And what they tell them is always: "More fascism is the answer!"
AIPAC is a fascist terror group influencing American elections and must be outlawed.

For all the Ape Descendants out there, who have yet to figure out you need to bang the rocks together...
This is the kind of language inversion fascists use before they make opposing them a crime and render their political opposition a domestic enemy that is treated as a terrorist threat You donโt vote yourself out of this. They are setting the stage for a single party state where opposition is treason

after ai implodes what do you think the next kinda plausible but not really sci-fi word the tech industry will use to bilk investors and taxpayers out of billions more dollars? my money is on โquantum mechanics/computingโ
Who are they even polling to get these results? Or are they just being made up?!? A look at protest-attendance maps like below, and the latter explanation seems really most convincing...
Itโs sort of puzzling that accurately describing the fascist state capture weโre experiencing is so often denounced as โdoomerism,โ but my fave of this genre is being called a doomer for saying we can still fix things if only we take action. Such an odd little performance of denial!

If we are to find a path out of this, we cannot lie to ourselves about where we are.
"Accessibility" is on the list of "banned words" they circulated recently.
Entirely unsurprising, as "Accessibility" is on the list of words the fascists want to ban, from their recently circulated list.

Only watched a bit of the first season, myself... I'd make a comment about it being impossible to make an apple pie with rotten apples, but being Bluesky, some knowledgeable chef will come along and correct me.
I always WANTED to like Asimov's work but, I like the ideas, but having read most all of it, I find it based on interesting ideas, and fleshed out with the most ponderous and stilted text.
I feel the tool shares at least some of the blame. I desperately want to know what HTML editor they're using, and what framework, so I can avoid it.
My favorite is this little fella, just hanging out way, impossibly, to the left, hidden, waiting like a soviet deep-cover agent to be activated for unknown but nefarious purposes.

Having served 6 months in the merchant marines, and spent the last 20 years trying to destroy the US hotel industry, and enshittifying its neighborhoods, I think I know a thing or two about UX/UI.
Also: Also: If you're not going full vegan, LEARN TO FISH. There's lake and rivers in every state where you can farm edible fish and crustaceans.
Also: If you can afford it, please instead of buying more than 24-36 months of supplies, give generously to your local mutual aid and anti-fascist organizations.
You can store a lot of stuff frozen, and/or vacuum sealed. Get dried veggies, or better yet, dehydrate them yourself. GO ovo-lacto-pescatarian. Most areas outside of urban cores today have locals raising chickens/selling eggs. You can freeze lots of cheese and tortillas will freeze fine. START NOW
Super-glad I was on Ms. Ho's vibe with this. As far as electronics, etc. from overseas, we're pretty stocked up here, 24-36 months, at least. For food goods, buy lots of staples. Invest in 2-300#s of rice, and similar amounts of pinto beans. Canned good last years, get 'em while they're cheap.
I'm not worried about the Dem candidate in 2028, there will be no 2028, that ship sailed like 4 months ago. None of his stans/bots are people who do anything but go to their local polling-place, every 4 years on the dot. We've had 50 years of Newsom's Democrats, and look where it's go us.
Thanks Jared! Yet again, you provide me a handy, easily-verifiable list of people who I want to block (Newsom-bots). Newsom is the old way, we need a new way. He do what he thinks will help, but no one should support his neoliberal, anti-social policies or give him any power.
I am begging, literally on my knees, for people to stop doing this Michael Avenatti bullshit where anyone who trolls Trump gets turned into some kind of hero because it feels good and meanwhile the actual work of finding trustworthy leaders and coalition partners gets put on the back burner.
