To spell it out, the reason I hate democrats so much and criticize them more than I do republicans is because they take up all the space for opposition to republicans and use that space to give republicans whatever the fuck they want.

US "democracy" is where you get to argue about who operates the orphan grinder but you don't get to argue about whether such a thing should continue to exist

"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators

when democrats want to stop something (single payer healthcare) they stop it.

when they don't (fascist dictatorship) they don't

the reason elected dems aren't doing anything to obstruct or hinder, let alone stop the nazi coup is because they don't want to.

reminder that the reason democrats don't do x, y, or z to stop, slow, or mitigate the horrors is that they don't want to

"Here's how dems could block--" They don't want to

"Here's how dems could win-" They don't want to

"dems should-" they won't

they are working with the enemy, they are helping the enemy, they do not give a fuck about you or me. it's up to us.

It's not mutual aid because that person's not part of your community apparently even though you see them online, but why don't people get that we must expand our notion of community & get out of who white capitalism says is it is even to band together to get through our fascist predicament.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

when i occasionally have those moments where i feel that hope is lost, that our species is irrevocably cooked, it's because of shit like this

my tweet: Democrats are enthusiastic partners in the fascist project and are playing their role exactly as written

and the reply from, and I'm not even fucking shitting you, "sixties rebel":What do you suggest they do differently?

A small number of demonstrators attempted to protest/march in the street.

Massive number of ISP troopers in riot gear responded by blocking 25th, threatening arrest, shouting into megaphone about an unlawful assembly.
