every smug internet communist tweet about showing up to a No Kings protest with an abolish ICE shirt to scare the libs is getting completely mogged by the real-life winemoms showing up with slogans like "ICE will melt in hell"
It really is amazing how women can sue their boss for groping them, but men can’t sue their boss for being overly earnest. I can feel a killer thinkpiece coming on already.
Got an email from NYC DSA asking for their members to go. It has nothing to do with being far left and everything to do with a certain kind of chickenshit keyboard warrior whose ego is threatened by people doing the things they don’t have the courage or follow-through to do themselves.
ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.
He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.
Oh hey, is this the line for permanently associating your actual government ID with a desire to view autogenerated hentai? I brought my driver’s license and my social security card because I wasn’t sure which one they would want.
I broadly agree, but it’s also fair to be frustrated that a 77 year old candidate is getting a ton of institutional support because, outrageously enough, she is seen as ‘less risky.’ I don’t know how many times I can watch the Dems step on this rake without succumbing to Lovecraftian madness.
The courts are too slow, that is the lesson of Biden’s failure to hold MAGA to account. We will need aggressive boycotts, demonstrations, and public shaming alongside the legal process. Violence is not the answer, but neither is putting our faith in a broken systems.
Inflation is the rate at which food and rent are getting more expensive, now they’re just expensive in a more stable way. Getting rid of anti-incumbency bias requires Trump to actually improve people’s material conditions, something he is publicly indifferent to doing.
That woman touching the guy‘s arm was ballsy as hell, and probably played a big role in their decision to leave. It was overtly non-violent, but it also broke a psychological barrier for the agents. “Hey dude. We’re standing right here. We are not spectators in this situation. Fuck off.”
Friendly reminder that Zohran won the vote in Hakeem Jefferies’s district by like fifteen points. God willing there are going to be some absolutely spectacular primaries next year.
Also he’s 79. He really doesn’t give a fuck if fascism lasts a decade because he’ll be dead or senile soon. He’s looking out for #1, and #1 only needs short term power.
Sun Tzu said that the bigger, slower, and more expensive the war machine, the more effective it will be at countering drone swarms that cost nine cents each to build. Either Sun Tzu said that or Jim Jordan, I forget which.
Journalism and punditry are full of institutionalized sinecures that have bred weak intellectuals with an unearned sense of virtue. They want to be seen as principled free thinkers but they don’t have the spine to withstand the occasional mean tweet, let alone the actual ire of an authoritarian gov.
