I know I don't shut up about this but, fellow Irish people, if you see a racist sticker when you're out and about, then tear it off.
It takes ten seconds.
Even if you only manage to tear away a part of it, it shows that your neighborhood doesn't stand with the small, hateful people that put them up

There is no other way of describing the activities of Kansas politicians other than as Nazism. Armed thugs sent to persecute, & arrest, German Queer ppl was a Nazi core evil. The far right GOP wants to repeat that nightmare by having thugs patrol >private< facilities to attack US trans ppl!
1. The most extreme anti-trans bill ever proposed is currently rocketing through the Kansas legislature.
It would empower bounty hunters to search for trans people in bathrooms, even in private businesses, and sue them for large sums of money.
The House is voting on it today.

"Liberal democracy was not leftist elite over reach. It was a compromise to sustain capitalism after conditions led subject populations to revolt repeatedly."
Fascists love to harp back to the glory days of empire, the 18th and 19th centuries, wanting to make X great again, and forget that generally liberal democracy was not leftist elite over reach. It was a compromise to sustain capitalism after conditions led subject populations to revolt repeatedly.

I am a historian who has written about insurgencies. This is true.
The irony in militaristic terms is that the bovino maga set are buying themselves into a classic counter insurgency trap (everyone who lives in the place you're occupying and laying siege to hates you and will give aid without question to anyone who looks likely to have a chance at fucking you up).
these guys are LARPing like siege commanders talking about "supply lines"
rightoids literally cannot comprehend the idea of a community caring for their own; these people live in Minneapolis their supply line is a five minute drive to the grocery store

"To frame that a different way: In rough terms, the workforce of CBP officers and Border Patrol agents commit crimes at an equal or even greater rate PER CAPITA than the population of undocumented immigrants do in the United States."
Curious why ICE and CBP agents are so brutal? Here's a useful explainer I wrote last week, before Saturday's outrageous murder, about how uniquely unsuited ICE and CBP are for this moment—and why they were so corruptible into Trump's own fascist secret police: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-101-ho...
"ICE 101" — How Trump changed ICE and CBP into a fascist secret police
ICE and CBP are fatally flawed products of the post-9/11 War on Terror — now Trump has weaponized those very flaws to occupy America.

If you think the British Gov't wouldn't cover up their forces killing civilians on UK streets or protect a powerful paedophile ring, I'd like you to understand they've already done this.
It's just that it happened in NI for decades and people turned their eyes away.

Whenever ICE shoot someone dead and it's caught on camera, and officials make up a nonsense cock and bull story, it's not that they think you can't see the video. It's that they want to tell everyone that they're indifferent to evidence or any appeal to justice.
