Today’s Executive Order creating a *nationwide* military “quick reaction force” and setting up an online portal to permit random fascist vigilantes to join soldiers is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in U.S. politics in my adult life. Why is it not getting more attention?
It is a character limit issue
This is the drug that is a 100% effective treatment for HIV. this is the one you've been seeing in the news. I would LOVE to see an in-depth discussion of exactly what "clinical, financial, and regulatory factors" are keeping them from essentially carrying a cure to a deadly disease.
"War Criminal" is too reductionist. The correct phrase is "people who commit war crimes" #PeopleFirstLanguage
I am so glad I have a post to show your progressive fans
Capital deciding to back fascism out of fear of communism was stupid in Weimar Germany, where the KPD polled around 15%, and it’s even stupider now.
When there was positive economic data under Biden, the New York Times told us to worry, with headlines like: “Why a Strong U.S. Economy Is Making Stock Investors Jittery” and “Inflation Has Been Easing Fast, but Wild Cards Lie Ahead” But when there is worrisome data under Trump, NYT reassures us:

4️⃣ Talking to people you don't know is good. As someone who's been doing political work for two decades, I've seen so many people burn out (in fact, most people I know who ever did any political work eventually stopped). One key to preventing burnout is meeting new people. bsky.app/profile/bdli...
"defund the police" didn't go far enough get these shitstains out of any position of authority immediately
Here's the problem with trying to keep up with "news": Just as there's no way for your body to regularly consume lots of toxic fast food but also remain healthy, there's no way for your brain to regularly consume lots of toxic news content but also remain healthy. I do not know the solution.
jesus fuck they're really going to go after seatbelt and smoking ban laws, i really thought those were safer than trans people getting to exist in civic life and gay people getting to care for their dying loved ones
Meanwhile games designed for console controllers are a pain in the ass to configure
My personal opinion is that everyone should be alarmist about everything the conservative movement is saying and planning and attempting right now. Be extremely alarmist about fascism. Be very alarmed about White Christian Nationalism. It is an absolutely appropriate reaction.
The latest fascist video posted by DHS. (I'm sure the typeface at the end there isn't meant to invoke anything Nazi-like) x.com/dhsgov/statu...
Israel has killed approximately 200 journalists in Gaza in just 22 months, which is more than the combined number of journalists killed during WWII and the entirety of the Vietnam War.
Four Al Jazeera staff, including reporter Anas Al Sharif, were killed in an Israeli attack on a tent for journalists outside the main gate of Gaza's al-Shifa hospital aje.io/onll19
BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.
saw a podcaster referring to college as a subsidized business, but what he didn't understand about that is at least in this country with prices we have here it's subsidized today in the sense of companies have their future workers go into debt to subsidize their own career training at their own risk
The more I learn about Anthropology, Evolutionary Biology, Geology, and Plate Tectonics, the more I am surprised that *any* murder goes unsolved
My latest: I made a conscious decision to stop being skinny and get big and strong AF. Here's some reflections on what life has been like since putting on nearly 20 pounds of muscle. wapo.st/3J9sLty
At the 0:53 mark of this video you can see photojournalist Nick Stern @plasticjesusart.bsky.social (shaved head and glasses) holding up his press ID before getting assaulted by an LAPD officers. When he turns there's blood pouring down his face.
And I responded to your saying so
I think you put too much faith in Dawkins' understanding a critique of Capitalism
I just see Dawkins being awful as usual and Robinson explaining why in the simplest terms for Dawkins' sake
I mean obviously. Social Democracy is still technically Capitalism. It would at least take Democratic Socialism. I am sure that is what he meant
What is bad about this?
Tennessee and the US used Chemical Weapons against their own People this week #ByronBlack
US always been like this
The FBI has agreed to help track down TX Democrats who fled the state to stop the legislature from passing a new redistricting map that would allocate more House seats to GOP. What comes next is unclear. And none of it good.
#OtD 6 Aug 1945 the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, slaughtering tens of thousands of civilians, despite believing that Japan was about to surrender, which was noted by multiple US officials stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1059...

I cannot for the life of me understand why so many people use Chat GPT as a search engine. I mean, I get that Google is trash now, but Chat GPT is literally! a! chat! bot! It doesn't know anything! It literally just puts words together in an order that sounds like something a real person might say.
The US and Florida used Chemical Weapons against their own people last night #EdwardZakrzewski
He still sucks
Well that’s not ideal
I mean my God what is in those files?
This problem is bigger than her. But it is a problem we need to talk about
After years of activist pressure, lawsuits, and bad press Ring made much needed reforms. Now, they’re pivoting back to mass police surveillance as a business model.
I really cannot stress enough that a lot of people need to let go of the idea that this is going to be fixed. No one is going to replace Hakeem Jeffries. If Democrats take the House, he will become speaker. He will be their leader for the next 40 years because that’s what they want.
A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.
Has always been Right Wing. Anyone following @bigjoel.bsky.social knows this
This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.
Dozens of ICE vehicles posted up at Dodgers Stadium Gate E. Folks are suspecting that they may be bringing people here after conducting raids. Get these fucking fascist pigs out of our city.
Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.
I wish that worked for me. Happy for you though
How? I am jealous
So we are just ignoring everything the US did to make it harder for the Soviets?
I think it is actually on you to explain how the US made anything easier for the Soviet Union
Yes. I do. My response directly follows from yours
"The concentration camps and dripping nuclear bombs were for the greater good"
What BS logic from the Supreme Court. Trans care bans don't discriminate on transgender status. Rather, its GENDER DYSPHORIA that they target. Not too many gender dysphoric cisgender people.
The one who compromised with Capitalists specifically in order to preserve Wage Enslavement and quash the movement for Communism in the US for decades, and oh also created concentration camps for people based solely on National/Ethnic background
If you are ever put in a camp, I will be sure to swiftly show up to explain why it is not necessarily Fascism
You are thinking of Stalin and the USSR
If you are ever put in a concentration camp, I will be sure to show up swiftly to explain why it is not necessarily Fascism

Abundance is bad. Liberalism is bad. The Fascist in the photo is bad
Marxism is better than Abundance
Imperial Countries like the US are at fault for that. Can we tell them to not sabotaging other countries?
ICE throws gas at protesters who immediately cone it then use boards to help fan the gas back at ICE.

Wow. Watch this from Zohran Mamdani. It looks like the exact "fight" and "conviction" people are hopelessly asking for from the people in charge of the Democratic party:
IT MAY BE THE ANARCHISTS
But if a few people in masks start lighting stuff on fire? Then you have news. This creates an *enormous* attentional advantage towards the most violent and chaotic kind of protest.

Zionism is more Christian than Jewish
Have we really become so woke that we are no longer comfortable sending innocent people to die in torture camps?
Liberals are Right Wing Discounts for veterans and cops are very common at gyms There is no such thing as apolitical (that just means pro status quo, which is Right Wing in the US)
really upsetting how often you’ll see someone being hateful to a member of a specific community online and then when everyone starts yelling they go “i’ve worked with these kinds of people for years!”
Working Class means relies on their labor for income
i know some will disagree, but I just fundamentally do not believe that they way to defeat fascism is to never criticize democrats, even when they collaborate with or fail to oppose fascism.
for my entire life i have simply never understood how anyone reading this can be convinced this is an antisemitic statement
That is how I got mine. The key for my situation is that my grandpa was born before his parents naturalized as US citizens. That whole family line is more eligible for Italian citizenship
It takes real courage to believe that we can win.
In court: We grabbed the wrong guy. On Fox News: We got Kingpin.
Show of hands, who here is old enough to remember Obama campaigning on and signing an EO to shut down gitmo and then it remaining just kinda indefinitely open?
You are enabling Fascism. Either ignorant or willing. Study or resign
This asshole is one of the Dems who voted for the Save act. He needs to go.
