NEW: I wrote about our Reddit Occupied Government and how the slew of AI slop memes being posted by official government accounts signals a total departure from the real in favor of the spectacle

I got called a Nazi for being on Twitter still last time I made an attempt to move over here and it made me stop using this app for months

Just putting out there that anyone being a scold about people wanting to keep in touch with their friends before this all happened is getting an instant block. It doesn't seem like anyone likes the CEO here either

Brace for inevitable "I can't quit Twitter here's why you're a bad person for suggesting it" replies

There are only so many websites left and rich Nazis are trying to buy all of them. That's just the fact of the matter. You can't blame people just trying to keep their community, but you can help them at least temporarily find haven (hopefully here for a while)

I get why people are hesitant to leave the communities they built over years when there aren’t many alternatives and all of them seem to have similar problems and are heading in the same direction. You can’t outrun the problem when fascism is spreading and spaces are consolidating.

I’ve been locked since Kirk died over there because they’re actively trying to get people killed. I’m honestly amazed people haven’t sued since there’s definitive proof that they knew these guys were doxxing people and personally intervened to allow it.

Mr. Chau @srirachachau.bsky.social · 46m

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

Booker’s whole response amounts to “the problem isn’t my support of genocide the problem is you being mad about my support for genocide”

here's cory booker @booker.senate.gov absolutely crapping the bed when given mild and correct criticism over his votes for trump nominees while claiming to be a leader of the opposition against fascism. kudos to the @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social podcast

Feeling pretty bad about the state of the world and the state of our leftist organizations right now so I signed up to help out with migrant justice locally. Sometimes zooming into something more specific and local can bring a needed perspective.

What Dems did with deportations was horrible but it’s absurd to claim that this is not an obvious escalation. It does not one any good to pretend things are not getting worse. Migrant communities who are in terror would never say this.

barbarism critic @scarletred.bsky.social · 4d

Like, it’s pretty clear to me why they always hide their faces

Can’t wait till we find out all these guys were hired directly from patriot prayer and the 3 percenters

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

Aren’t they trying to freeze Singhams assets?

Calling these things “mistakes” is disingenuous and lazy. A 45 year old fragrance in a bottle that is scented like the fucking fragrance is not a damn drug and everyone knows that. www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-a...

Indian immigrant fights deportation after police mistake perfume labeled 'Opium' for the narcotic

Kapil Raghu, 28, was arrested in May after an officer in central Arkansas spotted the rollerball perfume bottle in his car during a routine traffic stop.

Yeah I have like 1.5 years before I can leave and the rate things are going I just don’t know

barbarism critic @scarletred.bsky.social · 5d

I’m increasingly worried that when I do finally try to flee this place I won’t be allowed to

Karl Bode @karlbode.com · 6d

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats"

subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

Been keeping my account locked over there because those nazis keep doxxing people

barbarism critic @scarletred.bsky.social · 6d

Twitter is such a fucking cesspool. Gonna try this place again but are there any lists of cool/funny leftists or lists to block resist libs to improve my timeline?

So you actually think Omar and Tlaib are supporting MTG. You’re a fucking moron.
