i find the whole concept of how rosa luxemburg is mythologised by communists so fucking funny because they will genuinely treat one (1) killing, however grotesque, with far more horror than literally anything ever done by stalin

There’s a small permanent Dadaist exhibition in one of my favorite galleries, and it’s made so much more sense ever since the current world order began to crumble.

Odd how a 24-year-old white man is a “kid” but an 11-year-old black boy is tried as an “adult” 🤔

NEW @motherjones.com: Nobody in that GOP group chat praising Hitler or making racist comments was a “kid,” as JD Vance claimed today

I tracked down their ages. (Weirdly, it seems nobody else did.)

Eight of the 11 in the group chat range from 24 to 35. Ages of others are unclear.

But… no “kids”!

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid"

We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

Another DISGUSTING voicemail left for our brave ICE law enforcement officers.
The vile rhetoric of sanctuary politicians comparing ICE day-in and day-out to the Nazi Gestapo, the Secret Police, and slave patrols has consequences.
@ICEgov officers are facing more than 1,000% increase in assaults against them.
The violence and dehumanization of these men and women who are simply enforcing the law MUST END.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

More than 12 posts, reposts, replies in the past 8 hours accusing Black people of being violent criminals who are racist against white people - punctuated by random highlights of his businesses.

Elon musk posted racist things about a racist judge
