can the next big term that gets treated like 'abolish' and 'defund' where it's not the exact right term to use to beg for table scraps, be 'expropriation'

this word feels like it is crackling with electric power right about now

but fr tho this could be a crazy time for political education if people really approach all these newly aware people with trust, humility, and care. helping others understand is worth infinitely more than thinking folks are beyond help, or having been correct earlier

The NRA is best understood as a cop union for people who like to think of themselves as honorary cops, and the part of them that has sincere beliefs about guns and the rights surrounding guns will always take a backseat to the part of them that imagines themselves as Charles Bronson in Death Wish.

Damn, who could have guessed a bunch of Democrats teaming up with a fascist political party to censor the violence in Gaza by forcing a popular social media platform to sell to a coalition of fascist billionaires would also end up also censoring fascist violence here. Do you think anyone told them?
This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:

it’s also just quite a bit difference between being wrong in private and being wrong in the opinion section of national media in a way that influences other people’s opinions, your whole life, without consequences.
it is probably because they are responding to their earlier errors by taking positive action now, which helps defend their neighbors, rather than by retroactive reputation management in the Atlantic, which does not

I am willing to extend a lot of generosity to someone who read some pundit and thought things would be okay. I'm gonna extend a lot less generosity to that pundit himself. it's pretty simple.

the dystopian cyberpunk future of @funcityventures.bsky.social was too smart and sensical for the dumb reality we've actually got
NEW: The Trump administration is planning to use AI to write federal regulations despite the risk of hallucinations.

“We don't even need a very good rule,” the Transportation Department’s top lawyer said of the plan, per meeting notes reviewed by ProPublica. “We want good enough.”🧵

this is a symbol american forces would leave behind after massacring villages during the vietnam war.

drug cartels also leave calling cards behind after murders and assassinations. just stupendous leadership they have over there at DHS, very smart individuals.

Some people say not to call them Nazis because there are antecedents in our own history, while others are over-reliant on outside examples. But it's important to acknowledge the mingling of our own trends and history with global fascist legacies and movements because that's our reality.

i will scream this from the rooftops. the "everyone is a malicious idiot" shit is an ouroboros self suck of anti-social cynicism. functioning under the assumption of goodness creates many opportunities for people to cultivate the best in themselves, and makes space for grace!

verify, but trust!
I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

As someone who has spent over 35 years trying to explain that violence is inherent to policing only to have most people be OK with this, I could be excused if I decided to just give up. But I'm not. I knew we would be where we are today. I still think that we do not have to live like this.

i have seen way smaller actions get an order of magnitude more money than this for a fraction of the harm, this is so frustrating

My buddy's 15 year DnD group is imploding because a couple of the long time players are defending the ICE murders and everyone else is appalled. This is a red line for normal people in a "get the fuck out and never talk to me again" way. The evil and injustice is instantly recognizable.

I just want to make it clear that it was *Border Patrol* agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and those fuckers murder people regularly here along the border.

Renee Good´s murderer is also a former Border Patrol agent (currently ICE).

Disband ALL the paramilitary groups and prosecute every member.

They watched Israel do this with every Palestinian they killed for two years and so they never imagined it wouldn't work
… Furthermore, according to two other sources with knowledge of the situation, top officials in the Trump White House reminded their federal colleagues in and outside the West Wing that Pretti should be referred to as a “terrorist” in written statements and public messaging, no matter his background

People say that the GOP is all stick no carrot, that they forgot the bread and circuses.

But the thing is these guys are all incredibly cooked in the CSAM slop Nazi bar, playing to a tiny but loud group of utter freaks for whom murder and cruelty *is* the carrot and the bread and the circus.

All of them. Please understand that before this moment we were already over the line, it has just expanded to include more communities
Let me say something very directly.

We are objectively in a fascist authoritarian moment here in this country.

Academics and historians have established indicators for this. We are well over the line on many of them.

Mini vigils happening across the city for the nurse executed in broad daylight. People are still actively out patrolling for ICE. People are still at Whipple helping those released who are being dumped without phones, warm clothes. People are still delivering groceries to those sheltering in place.

Once you understand that you're dealing with murderous liars, you stop entertaining what they say as possibly credible and legitimate. The fight against them is about stopping them from terrorizing and killing by any means, not winning debates about your reality versus theirs.
