- Wait, why is THIS racist thing the thing people are finally pissed off about? The orange guy does worse shit weekly. I feel like reality is gaslighting me. It's like the news is 100% psychological warfare right now.
- Oh, so evil people have coopted the dumbest among us to fight FOR the things they THINK they're fighting against. Any MAGA people who don't realize this: You've been duped into lusting for the blood of your neighbors to protect rich-ass child rapists.
- So the government's only actual values are "child sacrifice"? Is that what we're learning?
- Oh cool we're rebranding "child abuse" as "FAFO PARENTING" Great work everyone.

- Hot take: BookTok and all other internet-fueled reading programs are objectively good. The country is becoming violently (literally) illiterate, and we should be encouraging EVERYONE to read more and better.

- Reposted by Dave, Aspiring PeasantThe ICE guy I was tailing decided to show me he knows where I live. You can’t really see in the video, but as he drove past my place he reached out the window and pointed at my apartment. Real tough guy

- My must toxic libtard belief is that we can, in fact, make the world around us better if we try really hard.
- I just realized that the only people I've ever actually seen drink alcohol while driving were all off-duty cops.
- I have holes in my shirts and dents in my car. Now couldn't pay me enough to care about them. I used to care about these things a great deal. Then I realized that's a prison and I freed myself. Channeling the aspect of Hank Moody i found most fascinating: his fucked up car
- This one’s gotta be great. can’t wait to press “publish”

- Your kids probably aren't going to remember very many specific things that happened before they were eight but they will sure as shit remember how you, as a parent, made them feel. This is the single most important thing to remember when raising young children.
- Writing my own history curriculum for our kids and looking for good materials on an extremely important lesson: John Brown Documentaries, books, particular high-quality YouTube videos?
- "indifference calls for a great commitment to nonvision. To ignore things demands incredible mental energy...and can place you beyond the frontiers of compassion, heal-ing, and love. When you become indifferent, you give all your power away." John O'Donahue

- Holy shit, we are now here. “I have asked the clergy of the diocese to make sure their affairs are in order and they have written their wills.,not the time for statements. It is time to put our bodies between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable” - Bishop Rob

- Reposted by Dave, Aspiring PeasantA reminder from Huffington Post that DHS and ICE have opened fire on unarmed civilians 16 times since Trump took office, killing 4 people. In every case, DHS claims that the victims "assaulted officers" and/or tried to ram them with cars. In every case, evidence proves they are lying. Every time.
- Reposted by Dave, Aspiring PeasantI think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks. IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

- Not a *shred* of introspection. "I hate you but I love what you're doing" Hrm, maybe re-evaluate why you feel like you hate someone who's trying to help you? Maybe think about who told you to hate him and why?
- At this point, we can be completely sure that the things happening behind locked doors inside ICE custody are inhuman infucked up ways outside of our imagination.
- There is nothing of "the protector" or "the sheepdog" in this. There is no honor in any of the people doing these things. They've long since lost touch with their own humanity. This is what happens when humans are atomized and isolated and sold a story of rugged individualism.
- Reposted by Dave, Aspiring PeasantThe dishonesty of “conservatives” about the killing of Renee Good makes me want to quote Lincoln: “When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.”
- Probably because Kirk was killed by a lone shooter from the schizo-right who later turned himself in and is currently in the process of a full trial. But Renee Good was executed by a masked agent of the state in cold blood on camera in an American city and they're lying about it
- Reposted by Dave, Aspiring PeasantThree Members of Congress showed up to inspect the actions of federal officers in their state and the federal officers drew their weapons?
- JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents. @zeteo.com
- Reposted by Dave, Aspiring Peasant“We’ll Have Our Home” again is a song that’s extremely popular with white nationalists. It’s all over Telegram. I think the first time I heard it was from a video of a secretive group called the Mannerbünd.
- Reposted by Dave, Aspiring PeasantHe didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.
- Reposted by Dave, Aspiring PeasantYes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.
- If we are currently at the stage where easily verifiable and clear videos are seen through fantasy glasses, imagine how fucked we are with the coming generations of AI video generation. We didn't even NEED faked video to get us here

- I was wrong. I never bought Aristotle concept of "natural slaves" I thought he was just running ethical cover for an barbaric institution he benefited from. But watching unpaid simpchudbois scramble to lick boots and deny their senses? I was naive. He was right. Eager Slaves
- Actual human people are now failing a pretty basic Turing Test when they look at that video and blame the executed woman. They've objectively surrendered their eyes, ears, voice, and soul to The Party in exchange for a temporary feeling that supporting evil makes them safe.
- Our government kidnapped Maduro in order to... become the worst of him? To kill civilians and lie about it? Really? This is real?
- Reposted by Dave, Aspiring PeasantWell. My military hospital officially no longer carries the pediatric doses for the covid vaccine.

- ICE is spiritually-Israeli
- this is the goal
- LOL I just got fired. 95% sure it was related to my Twitter account, but will not be saying more about that. No time to look backwards. Time to all-in on what's next: A video podcast I'm starting called "Narrative Violation" Got 5 guests set. Who all should I be talking to?
- The assignment now given to all Right Wing bootlicking simps is simple: Pretend the video justifies the execution of that woman, when it clearly shows aggressively poor training and judgment clouded by racism, fear, and legal impunity.

- I asked my 10yo how he knew how to do something "I just listen to what my little man tells me" and he gestured to his heart. The kid knows how to listen to his intuition, just naturally, and even has a term ("my little man") for his inner voice 🥹 It's beautiful being a parent
- Holy shit it's just *always* been the circus. The West Wing tricked the millennial mind - mine included - into being unable to see what's real right in front of us. Because we really wanted to believe.
- "The Violent Left" in one Infographic. The problem is that math, like reality, has a well-documented "liberal" bias. Which is actually why it's been so hard for Elon to make Grok answer how he wants without explicit carve-outs - his worldview is not based in fact or reality.
