- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯how can we suffer these people to live among us, let alone purport to rule us? they're not just our enemies. they're an affront to the human experiment. they're hostile to all life not their own. they'd burn any number of us alive to avoid even a moment of mild discomfort. hideous
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯among other things, it's good for our brains to have practice understanding that a person who has added something good to our lives -- as a friend, a teacher, a family member, an artist whose work we love -- can have done harm that it's now our moral duty to name.

- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯A fundamental problem with this country is that you have less responsibility, transparency, and duty as you gain more power when it should be the opposite. The Supreme Court gets to be very secretive for no good reason. Cops get a monopoly on violence and have near total immunity when they use it.
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Watching these Grammys, you have to wonder if perhaps the Silicon Valley bros made a classic VC mistake and went all-in on reactionary politics right before the bottom dropped out.
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯A lot of carceral workers are nonwhite people. Another example of why we need to deal with the racial politics of how people are recruited and encouraged to become carceral workers, and how the pathologizing of nonwhite communities and their “redemption” through carceral service are part of that.
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯one thing you never want to have to realize is that you were really underestimating the number of pedophiles
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Today, Luke Farrell (@lukef.bsky.social) explains how complex eligibility requirements have turned America’s safety net into a lucrative revenue stream for monopolistic private contractors.
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯i really think you could write a goddamn dissertation on the new right’s embrace of a deranged suicidal penguin that couldnt hack it in the colony and decided instead to walk off to its certain death.

- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯I have, for years, talked about how I spent the late aughts on 4chan, and I've been watching the worst people from there take over the world. And. He's. He relaunched /pol/ after meeting with Epstein. It's been fucking /pol/ this entire fucking time fucking fuck.
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯George Washington University, 1970 student protest against the shootings at Kent State and Jackson State.
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯but if there's another thing we can learn from these atrocities, what will happen to you in one of them depends very little on detailed lists kept by authorities and way, way more on if you're at home or the store when the goon squad happens to reach your street, or whether a neighbor rats you out.
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯look, ive said this before, its fine to be a coward. i just refuse to pretend its a virtue.
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯This is not new. Israel has long used its apartheid system, built on top of an almost 60-year illegal occupation, as a laboratory for technologies of social control, violence and dispossession.
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯good stuff from @mobute.bsky.social
- "The Trump program relies on as much formula as a three-camera sitcom. Beholding it sends the mind to boredom quicker than overborne; you simply can’t be knocked off your feet anymore by a hum that never ceases and never changes." @mobute.bsky.social
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯People have spent almost three years screaming at anyone who couldn't bring themselves to vote for the party that sat on the Epstein files, funded ICE every time they had a chance, and hid a pile of blackened skulls behind a flimsy curtain
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯It is the duty of the revolution to put an end to compromise, and to put an end to compromise means taking the path of socialist revolution.
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯As long as ICE exists this is gonna happen. The good people of MSP have fought hard enough. Time for the elected Dems to help them out instead of some mythical non voter in Iowa
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Fire Kristi Noem. Fire Stephen Miller. Fire Tom Homan. Prosecute every last one of Trump's thugs who are murdering Americans and terrorizing our communities.
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯you can't lecture the world when you have absolutely no insight into human behavior. people to the left of you AND to the right of you have sincere ideological commitments. it means you can't get the ones on the right to vote for dems and you can't get the left to eat shit to coddle your tactics.
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯the expectation that the people whose rights you consider negotiable should still vote for you because you don't want to immiserate them quite as much is contemptible. it makes you wholly untrustworthy because you're clearly willing to hurt them more than your opening position. fuck you.

- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯they’re trying to recapture potentially revolutionary energy. we can’t let them.
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Bovino out is a great indicator. It’s a great start. But none of us can be appeased right now. It’s still abolish ICE. It’s still prosecute these fascists. It’s still destroy the whole apparatus that has been terrorizing and disappearing and murdering our neighbors.
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯I know I’m a broken record about this but it never ceases to amaze me that these Nazi and Confederate fetishists have, out of the gate, combined the most catastrophic and ruinous errors of both.
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Inspired by Minnesotans
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"What can Democrats actually do?" - Vote against funding for ICE and DHS - State that any ICE officers who commit crimes under Trump will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law - Encourage cities and states to refuse to cooperate with ICE - Explain ICE is part of Trump's tyranny
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Why is it being left up to the neighbors to protect each other when there is a supposed Democratic governor and elected Democratic officials
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯It feels like a lot of centrist pundits are rallying around Schumer because they feel the lesson of 2024 was that pushing out the ineffective older guy didn't work, instead of that they probably should've pushed him out earlier to get the new crew organized sooner.
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ahh a nice night out at the movies. now time to check my phone and see what our mad pedophile king and his evil scheming viziers are up to
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯saying conciliatory things to Europe in public is simply a means of exculpating oneself from what the country is doing. "oh, i'm one of the good ones." who gives a shit.

- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Yeah, no amount of training will help because poor training isn’t why they’re shooting and beating people; they’re shooting and beating people because they want to.
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Not happy about entering the cool zone, I’ll tell you what!
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯All of that capitulation and prostrating before the Rule of Law and it did them not one lick of good. A lesson for collaborators!
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯elected democrats who want their constituents to remain non-violent in their protests of these abuses must actually offer a path for ending the abuses non-violently. they currently are not as a party and it’s a major problem.
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯i think this gets at something important which is that normal people are rightly pissed off that they’re having normal time stolen from them by this ravaging horde of jumped up mall cops. everybody has to work in the morning! why is it THEIR job to hold their community together in such a basic way!
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯“we have the masses to oppose this but do we have the leadership?” is a question I regularly ask because I don’t like the answer
- Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms. www.reuters.com/world/us/fiv...
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯“As a reasonable centrist, I think the paramilitary death squads need better training.”
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained
- Reposted by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯I think this is such an important distinction & reminder like I don't owe any allegiance to the systems and structures and the machinery of power, but there are fucking beautiful extraordinary amazing people in every corner of this country and to whatever degree I'm "patriotic" it's loyalty to them
