Everywhere should be a hostile place for Republicans. They should not be able to find a friend anywhere. They should lose all their professional and familial relationships. They should be blocked from signing up to social media platforms, clubs, and yard sales. They should be ejected from fairs.

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

Patty Murray and Chuck Schumer decide to strike a “bipartisan” deal with … checks notes … Susan Collins to fund the Trump regime through December which appears to not to any include any safeguards against Trump’s meddling with midterm elections.

It is pretty sad that so few people actually believe in open borders

if you are bigoted against trans folks you will not stop there and I know it you are either already racist, sexist, or homophobic or you are on your way there and I will not join you for your journey

Would assume everyone knows it by now, but just in case "First the traitors, then the invaders" is an explicit reference to The Turner Diaries, where a white supremacist revolution overruns "The System" and kills all their enemy during the evocatively named "Day of the Rope".

X owner Elon Musk indicates he would prioritise political violence (assassination of pro-migration politicians is the common sense meaning) over violence against "invaders" (refugees, asylum seekers, maybe ethnic minorities generally) while endorsing call for violence (killing) against both groups

1) The Diary of Anne Frank shouldn't be copyrighted, and that it is is abhorrent and ghoulish. 2) Nothing should be copyrighted, intellectual property is one of the greatest evils of today. 3) Thank fucking god we've gone one more day without illegalizing VPNs. www.pcgamer.com/software/eu-...

'VPNs are lawful technical tools' according to EU judge

That's a welcome legal precedent.

Four people have died at the hands of ICE over the past eight days. Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva died on July 13 while being transferred between detention facilities in Georgia. Here is an archived version of the official ICE release, which is surely riddled with lies: archive.is/nkREK

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

This is Joan Sebastian Guerrero, the 26-year-old Colombian father and husband murdered by ICE fascists in broad daylight in front of his 3-year-old daughter. He was NOT the target of the ICE warrant. He was documented. He did everything right. ICE murdered him anyway. And yet… 1/2

This is the Amnesty International report on the anti-rights groups. These anti-rights groups have immediately engaged in lawfare to bury this report. *be a shame if people kept sharing it. drive.google.com/file/d/1UggI...

The National@scotnational.bsky.social · 3w ago

Amnesty International has expressed its 'regret' over a report naming dozens of gender-critical campaign groups as 'anti-rights' organisations

most murders are committed by someone the victim knows - a partner, neighbor etc. but in cases where there is no relationship between murderer & victim? the killer is a cop about a third of the time. if you are killed by a stranger, there is a 1 in 3 chance that stranger is a cop.

‘One-third of all Americans killed by strangers are killed by police.’

JK Rowling has used her wealth to stoke the fires of a worldwide pogrom against trans people to where she's silenced a Holocaust scholar after JK engaged in Holocaust denial & now done the same to Amnesty International for their warning about trans eradication, but keep buying your Harry Potter crap

It's also available here. Please share and spread this report. Trans folks in the UK can't for fear of lawsuits by gender critical groups. drive.google.com/file/d/1UggI...

lindsey graham won't see your jokes and memes because he got diarrhea and is in hell now, but someone writing an op-ed titled "the left's problem with manners" might. So make them really funny.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

In case anyone is wondering how I "clocked" Platner, it was the fact that he is a literal mercenary with a Nazi tattoo. Maybe keep that in your back pocket

When pundits say "[right wing party] was once good but is now bad" it'd be really useful for them to provide a timeframe for when they think the party was good. So we can work out exactly what horrors the pundit thinks are acceptable.

"she's only a delusion of bluesky leftists" oh the same bluesky leftists who were just proven incontrovertibly correct about nazi tattoo guy? THOSE bluesky leftists? fuck you

Congresswoman Summer Lee barred Daniel Moraff from her campaign over sexual misconduct complaints that Lee received about Moraff. Moraff is being ridiculed for not properly vetting Platner, but our investigation shows Moraff was hiding his own sexual misconduct issues

Platner’s Daniel Moraff Barred from Summer Lee’s Campaign Over Sexual Misconduct Complaints

Congresswoman Summer Lee barred Platner's strategist Daniel Moraff from her campaign after receiving sexual harassment complaints against him.

Every fucking scandal people said Platner has changed, Platner has grown, Platner has apologized. At no point did he do any of these things, nor did anyone present evidence that he had. He was a nasty piece of shit the whole time, and they sprinkled that on him like an incantation.

The actual litmus test, the fast and simple and easy test of what kind of person Platner is, that basically every pundit catastrophically failed, happened 8 months ago, with his Nazi tattoo. Every new fucked up thing that came up *after* that is no longer a litmus test.

Anything that has purchase with people—anything they value or care about—can be leveraged or exploited by someone seeking to build their own power. There’s not a single word we can coin that won’t eventually be used against us. This is why building an analysis of power itself is vital.

I once wrote Dante had Beatrice; Orwell had Stalin; for political writers their muses are not the good things. Wrote this in one sitting today.
