Obama is the lynchpin of neoliberal failure:

- no bankers went to jail for the financial crisis
- no punishment for Bush era crimes including torture
- no reigning in open market manipulation and illegal activity of tech disruptors like Uber
- refused to reform the filibuster
- drone wars expanded

obama ramped up the use of drone strikes (10x more than bush!) and deported a record number of immigrants. he helped maintain and expand the systems trump is now using to do his crimes

"No kings" doesn't sit right as a slogan as it implies US exceptionalism

The US might not have had kings but it built a political system which gave power to oligarchs and technocrats to protect similar forms of oppression

This is not a democratic alternative to "kings", more an evolution

Because they're facist 😭 i think people keep thinking I'm exaggerating when I say that but I'm not. And it's not new. A newspaper that would knowingly employ a nazi sympathizer as Berlin bureau chief because he got them access to Hitler is not a paper that will help uphold democracy.

I looked at 38 papers. The NYT was one of only a few not to have it as the top story and photo

The handful of exceptions were pretty much all places with a big D1 football game

I genuinely don't understand why the NYT is so reticent to give coverage to one of the largest protests in history

NYT on the protests: sixth headline and third photo down. This is Saturday at 8pm

Saw these images posted on social media, from the recent “No Kings” protest in the US, where blue maga liberals were holding signs like these.

It perfectly sums up the liberal worldview: they don’t hate fascism. They just hate when the wrong people are in charge of it.

A protester in Times Square, New York City, holds a large cardboard sign reading, “OUR FOUNDING FATHERS WERE NOT FASCISTS!” The protester faces away from the camera toward a dense crowd surrounded by digital billboards and skyscrapers. The sign implies faith in the moral purity of America’s colonial founders, overlooking their role as slave owners, capitalists, and imperialist genocidal maniacs who genocided Native Americans, stole their lands, broke treaties with them, while enslaving Africans. The image was posted on social media as part of the “#NoKings” protest against trump by blue maga genocidal democrats and liberals.

A photo from a protest showing a crowd of mostly middle-aged people holding signs. One large cardboard sign reads, “If Kamala were president, we’d all be at BRUNCH.” A small American flag sticks out from behind the sign. The image was posted with the hashtag “#NoKings.” The scene reflects blue maga genocidal democrat and liberal protest culture in the United States, where participants express nostalgia for “normal” capitalist, white supremacist, and imperialist politics under blue maga genocidal democrat and liberal leadership rather than demanding systemic change.

See? This is what I’m talking about. This person saw a post about college students working in solidarity to fight incursions on free speech and thinks the march today is where they should’ve been instead.

Maybe look at the encampments, the ice protests. That’s where they are. 1/
