Me: Lynching is bad

White Men in comments: what about Black on Black crime?

Me: even if Black on Black crime was as bad as you think it is (and it isn’t), that still doesn’t give y’all the right to just kill us.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE EXAMINE WHY YOU WANT TO KILL US SO BADLY

This nice little white lady has a 3-yr-old and got arrested and taken from her child and caged.
She has more bravery than any single ICE/DHS/cop in any city.
These cowardly armed white men with their victim mentality need to get over themselves and gtfo of our neighborhoods and leave us alone.

"Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act if judges further block his orders to send National Guard ... He has also threatened governors and municipal leaders who challenge his actions, saying they should be 'in jail' for refusing to cooperate with his plans to militarize their cities."

Truthout @truthout.org · 6d

Recent polling data shows that Americans disapprove of President Donald Trump’s actions in office so far — particularly his mobilization of the National Guard in U.S. cities. A majority also say he has been creating chaos and disorder.

Polling Shows Americans Reject Trump’s Threat to Militarize US Cities

A majority of voters, 58 percent, said presidents should only send military forces to cities that face external threats.

It's terrifying when you see that the empire's atrocities in Sudan, Congo, Tigray and Palestine are coming back to the former colonies of the USA.
But it is hopeful that the imperial boomerang may give some relief to those who have suffered so long from the west's cruel dehumanization.

Do USians understand that this is absolutely, obviously the truth? Do they see that ALL WESTERN GOV'TS ARE ISRAEL FIRST? Do they see that they're all playacting the 'Center vs Right,' game but they're all Rightwing fascists (with a few random "Leftists" to funnel would-be anti-capitalists back in.)

The Democrats said, "We will never stop sponsoring genocide. We will always support the apartheid ethnostate that's on a settler colonial mission of extermination of its neighbors. It's either genocide with us or with Trump, and with Trump you'll also get the end of the pretense of democracy, here."

There will be enough people who won't vote for Democrats for whom genocide wasn't a red line. So they'll just lose again. Heck if the Republicans would nominate someone like Thomas Massie I'd vote for them

None of IOF atrocities are possible w/o US support. Americans refusing to vote for politicians who have advocated for IOF is probably among the few ways to stop this evil. Unfortunately, the unadulterated fascism of the current administration will drive voters towards crypto-fascism of centrist Dems

I'm not sure how much longer embracing nazism will result in Republicans being fired. It wouldn't surprise me if Vance, for example, tried to hire some of those forty year old white supremacist "kids" and bring them into the administration of the same guy he called Hitler.

There is no reason to suspend the account of a farmer from Gaza 22 times. Bluesky is a zionist run app. It doesn't matter if you're here or on X, unless you don't consider Palestinians human beings.

The only thought in my mind right now is “they allowed for my rights to be taken away because they couldn’t say no to a genocide.”

We keep blaming the voters for choices, but never the politicians for giving us only terroristic options.
