I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...
MAGA military geniuses are talking about Minnesota protestors like they are the Iraqi insurgency, the Taliban, and the Viet Cong all rolled into one.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

it's cool that so many people in positions of power and influence were so negatively polarized by "wokeness" that they convinced themselves that there was an actual debate about who wanted to erase history and the "wokes" were on the wrong side bsky.app/profile/arch...
"Slavery was real"

Same story as the ozone layer! It was a huge issue at the time, but laws got set up to prevent further issues.

You can just do that.
to young people: you may at some point have heard about the Y2K problem. some people may have told you it wasn't a big deal

i need you to understand the only reason it wasn't a big deal was that everyone spent loads of time fixing code before it could become a problem, which is why it never did

It's like a SOF raid, just in America...
Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.
That is what was relayed

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

It’s beyond insane that our overarching internal security agency has spent months tweeting barely-coded messages of support for neo-Nazi groups and the entire media apparatus looks at it and says “That’s odd but certainly not part a major story that is relevant to current events, I’m sure”

I was on an open rapid response
line earlier when someone got pulled for tailing an ICE car and it was a very frightening moment. “Oh we’re going to get got, there are many of them surrounding us” and then a lot of angry shouting. They really do not like being followed. Keep following them.
The MAGA regime is currently doubling down on its tactical stance of “we will kill women like dogs for merely displeasing us.”

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

Never forget January 6th! Never forget that Trump encouraged this, didn't stop it, and let the perpetrators out after the courts found them guilty. Five policemen died because of what happened that day.

"guys you don't get it, yes she voted for the Put Trannies Through The Torment Nexus bill, but the important part is that she VOTED and that's what we DO because we're AMERICANS"
This is why I don’t trust the "Never Trump" Bulwark guys. They’re perfectly comfortable with real people being harmed, so long as the harm comes via a process they can label “liberal democracy.”

Since this is the penultimate day for retrospection, here's a comparison of what #battletech mechs I painted in 2024, and then 2025.

I still have two lances and some buildings in progress, but not bad progress while finishing two grad certs in a hellscape of a year.

I lied I have one more piece in me before the year ends.

This is an experimental illustration though. I'm not great with the flat graphic stuff but I thought I'd give it a go again.

These are the juiciest #battletech buildings I've painted, and also the first battletech buildings I've painted. The next ones will be less...moist.
