We can either have a techno-futuristic utopia or a medieval climate catastrophe nightmare. It is LITERALLY your choice.

The only solution is revolution.

Wrong cover artist. The Invaders require Kirby or Robbins. Kane would be acceptable.

authoritarianism. It is a way out. There are other ways out, but you don't want those.
Given that we need more people who demand change, the next major protests should be organized near Christmas. People will be pissed and broke.

The easiest way for that to happen may be for Trump and his gang to do some more fascism and for the economy to get worse. They will an it will. As things get worse, more people will be looking for a way out. The No Kings protest is a door in this fascist room that leads outside of

It's going to have to get worse before we can force it to be better. It is estimated 7 million people showed up. We needed twelve million. I don't know how valid the Chenoweth Rule is (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3.5%25_...), but if we assume it is valid, we need this thing to grow.

Something I've seen on BS that I haven't seen on other platforms are trolls that repost flood random left-leaning content (10+ a day) and then attack anyone espousing leftist views in comments. I've blocked so many that I should build a block list.

In the early 80s as a Gamma World and Villains & Vigilantes enthusiast I watched the TV movie and read the book. I read it in the dining room and rubbing my forehead absently until I was scratching a line up and down the middle of said forehead until it bled. I had a scab. Clearly Satan was in me.

Love the anti-sniper chicken while Mehdi Hasan speaks during the No Kings protest in Washing DC.

Burners. ICE has Stingrays and will track your phone. Use a burner.

Wow. This might be the best piece I've seen from DeSoto.

If I had a time machine I would go back to the time of that video when Miller was 17 on that school bus and show this to him. Some kids need to be shamed and humiliated.

History shows us that countries in which at least 3.5% showed up to protests, successfully toppled their fascist dictators. The only other successful toppling occurred in countries that were invaded.

DO NOT SIT DOWN AT THE PROTEST

Yes, but also assume the fascists will get their violence and plan accordingly. Carry a first aid kit, keep a buddy system and by all means use burner phones. The fascists will be using Stingrays to track phones.

Like most covers, one has to assume it was drawn without the logo. With that in mind, what is she chained to?

the lying weirdo and friend of MAGAts Susan Collins. Platner's deleted comments are about what you'd expect from an ex-military guy newly back from a war zone. Here's Platner providing an apology and an explanation.

Graham Platner's old comments on Reddit, that he deleted, have been resuscitated by Bezos, I mean the Washington Post, as a culture bombshell. This is supposed to cause young progressives to flee Platner and rush into the 77 year old arms of Not Progressive Janet Mills who is also running to replace

Profound optimism? AI begins to reverse the climate catastrophe, AI invents a universal vaccine, AI explains the dark matter illusion. Those would be a reason for profound optimism. We have good film makers. That guy is a fucking idiot.

Beyond LITERALLY campaigning in public, taking the Progressive, Democratic Socialist position, and past refuting his previous mindset, which he did, what could he do that would change your mind?

Fetterman has always been a Nazi and then got worse through literal brain damage.
You're not making a case for your position, you're just whining. I've had enough.

He's ex-military. We already knew he was somewhat pro-war. Do you imagine you're going to get some sort of shining virgin to jump into politics to stand up for your right to a decent life? AGAIN, people can change and if you can't allow for that you're going to purity test people out of existence.

Jesus the Barbarian @jesusthebarbarian.bsky.social · 1d

How do you know he didn't?

Do you think he could talk about the issues we're facing and the solutions to those issues while being the same person he was in 2012/13?

Jesus the Barbarian @jesusthebarbarian.bsky.social · 1d

Which is something of a relief because we're showing that we don't have as much backbone as I'd expected. I hope tomorrow's turnout corrects this.

Trump just made his Ukraine gambit clear: give Russia the land it's occupying. Is that the best Putin can manage? Putin took control of a KGB asset to make him the President of their greatest enemy and that is the best he can manage? This really is the fascism your mom says you have at home.
