It's going to be interesting to find out what happens when fascist sympathizing billionaires control every branch of the United States government and the platforms that distribute news and information to the public.
New: Mark Zuckerberg is appointing three new directors to Meta’s board, including UFC’s Dana White.
White and Zuckerberg have become friends given Zuckerberg‘s interest in MMA. White was also a very vocal and involved Trump supporter during the campaign.

The Ruling Class has been militarizing local police forces for decades.
They know they cannot continue with their plans to impoverish the rest of us without armed-to-the-teeth paramilitary police.
Cops "protect & serve" the Ruling Class.

we should be concerned about the impacts of social media on kids and teens, but i don’t think we’re worried nearly enough about what it’s doing to middle aged people and seniors

Ever since the Covenant School shooting it's been a meme on the far right that a school shooter is trans until proven otherwise, and the media will cover it up.
Not to get all @attackerman.bsky.social but 10 years ago it was "Muslim jihadi until proven otherwise, media will cover it up."

The Madison, Wisconsin school shooter was a radfem Columbine-worshipper who followed "radfem Hitler". Garrison Davis dug into her online presence and wrote this to explain what the hell all that means and why the right wants us to think she was transgender.

when I wrote story unmasking Richard Hanania’s white supremacism, Substack refused to comment, then boosted his mealy-mouthed disavowal. (He’d appeared on podcast w/ one of Substack’s top brass beforehand.)
Hanania has since promoted neo-Nazi Richard Spencer on X. www.huffpost.com/entry/richar...

Totally unrelated, but hey, remember when people were dying from having to ration their insulin shots because pharma and insurance companies like *cough* UnitedHealthcare were profiteering off of $300-a-dose medicine that costs $10 to make?
Just randomly remembered that today.

so you’re saying mass mobilization and a Democratic Party that is willing to actually fight back against a fascist coup leads to positive outcomes?
But the American Democrats keep saying we have to work with the fascists who are going to end American democracy otherwise we’re just as bad as they are
