someone with a lot of followers should post this every day to give the people who want to do liberal vs left discourse a place to hang out. it's a public service, like benches or water fountains
I yearn for the days when the differences between liberals and leftists mattered.

“Nerve gas” and “nerve agent” are not broad generic terms and they’re simply not applicable at all to smoke grenades, tear gas, or pepper spray

We live in a world where fascist interests ARE material interests. Where the need to feel like you can go out and cull the undesirables with impunity rivals or even outweighs the need to afford groceries.

So. Now what?

*reading an online rumor with little sourced evidence*: It’s so over

*5 minutes later, reading another equally unsourced rumor that contradicts the first one*: We’re so back

blocking 50-100,000 people. this site is still perfectly usable if you screen out 50-100,000 people. i cannot recommend highly enough blocking 50-100,000 people.

a reminder, again, that AltNPS is a grifter account run by people who have no affiliation with the National Park Service and indeed who never did have any affiliation with the National Park Service. They have no sources, they have no information, they are purely there to scam you.
"Receiving reports" my ass. AltNPS is not receiving reports of ICE raids in Saint Paul. They are seeing posts on social media like the rest of us.

I DO have loved ones in Saint Paul. ALL of my loved ones. They're terrified. Fuck you.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

It isn’t about intelligence, it’s about desire. The manufacturing of false evidence isn’t about convincing people who didn’t know the real facts; it’s a prop magic wand that the VP waves around on TV before he tells the willing audience that he’s going to pull a left-wing terror plot out of a hat.

this was also consensus opinion for center-right types after george floyd’s murder five years ago. the state media apparatus will be working overtime the next few weeks to reprogram them
Really worth watching this interview with a bystander who witnessed the ICE shooting in Minneapolis: "I'm pretty right-leaning. But seeing this, this is not how we're supposed to be doing things in America.”

Something way more people need to internalize and help their friends understand is that the *only* politics and culture that you can reproduce using pile-ons, networked harassment, doxxing, death threats and the like is a fascist one. It doesn’t matter what you think your motivations or politics are

Cool and good that we’ve made the word “eugenics” functionally meaninglessness at the same time “Let measles rip and purge the weak” became official government policy.

i literally watched this conspiracy theory develop in realtime on twitter back in 2021. and how it spread like wildfire among vulnerable people, including the long covid and disability circles i was in. it also really depressed me because it foreshadowed today & who gets targeted by MAHA

no one is acknowledging it because it’s a conspiracy theory that can largely be traced back to one crank on twitter

Important to stress that although case and hospitalization reporting have been watered down, death reporting hasn't changed since the start of the pandemic. All data sources — local and federal, qualitative and quantitative — indicate that mortality has fallen over time and is currently low.
Kinda crazy how low you can get reports when you stop reporting them.

This country is insane.

at the risk of being corny, I was thinking a lot about this line from A Christmas Carol: “Darkness was cheap and Scrooge liked it”. it’s a clever merging of his solitude and his spendthriftiness, but it’s also applicable metaphorically: it’s easy to be grim, takes work to create light.
