Doesn’t need it. He needs enough to intimidate. He’s obviously got enough of the military that has no problem with extra judicial killings offshore.

Ice plus National guard plus Army. More than enough. And you seriously think these people will be deterred by threats of Lawsuits?

Okay. I dig your sentiment. I applaud it even. But the pedant in me has to point out that it’s not. Fascists were not a thing in 1918 and the soldiers in WW 1 were not fighting fascists. We can fight fascists without making things up.

There’s a lack of a coherent opposition to the regime, the regime is now fully in control of the legal parts of the government. That’s all vastly different from 2020. Most Americans are whistling past the graveyard. Thoughts and prayers are not enough. There are no remaining guardrails.

In 2020 there was at list an indication that republicans were listening to court rulings. Now they opening disregard the rulings. They have deployed a para military force on the streets that they have explicitly stated will be used to “ police” polling stations. Explicit shameless gerrymandering.

This, my friend is not 2020. You should keep up on current events.

Busy busy time for many folk musicians rehearsing/preparing for their autumn/winter tours. The best way to support them is by getting your tickets well in advance both for the artists and the amazing venues and staff - they all work so hard together to bring us the joy that is live music.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

If 60 people were killed then the ceasefire isn’t fragile. It’s non existent. More lies and death from Netanyahoo.

Israeli strikes in Gaza kill at least 60 overnight as ceasefire looks increasingly fragile

Netanyahu ordered strikes on Tuesday evening after firefight between Israeli troops and Palestinian militants Israeli airstrikes on Gaza overnight killed at least 60 Palestinians, including 22 children, in what appeared to be the gravest challenge yet to the increasingly fragile US-brokered ceasefire and one of the deadliest days since the truce began. The strikes, which according to Gaza’s civil defence agency killed many children and injured 200 people, took place hours after the US president, Donald Trump, said “nothing” would jeopardise the ceasefire agreement he helped broker.

Americans will never engage in a bottom up revolution. Not even close to being in their nature, whatever they think they know about themselves. This is a country that won’t tax the rich because they think they’ll be rich someday. They’re not going to take up arms against the government.

James Keelaghan @jimmykeelo.bsky.social · 10d

Agree

William B. Fuckley @opinionhaver.bsky.social · 10d

I'm definitely becoming a year zero guy for social media. shut it the fuck down. go back to RSS feeds and vbulletin forums. it should be more costly run a social media platform, doing so should involve more legal exposure, and it should be more difficult to access them.

Reposting with Alt-text:

The lady at the charity shop today told me that she wishes people would clear out their children's old toys in the lead up to Christmas rather than after because she always sees a number of parents in the days before Christmas looking for toys for their little ones who might be strapped for cash. She said there's very rarely anything in just before, but that they get inundated with toys in the days after.

And it really made me think about it in a way I never would have before. If you know your child is going to get lots of presents from father Christmas this year, by clearing out your cupboards a few days early you could make another child's Christmas a lot more special too.

Saw this & thought I'd repost

That’s basically what it is going to be it in terms of making music..rich kids. The music industry is not a place you can earn a living any longer.

Caroline Renard @carolinerenard.bsky.social · 16d

It wouldn't be so annoying that only the rich kids get to make movies and music if it wasn't so boring. Rich kids simply have nothing to say. Have you sat through the comedy? Just saying nothing! The observation is even so bland. No POV, just beautiful cinematography.
