The United States government is white nationalist as a matter of policy. To certain people it is very norm-breaking, excessive, upsetting, and dangerous . . . that I would say that. Bless their hearts.
Wajahat Ali@wajali.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe President of the USA during a World Cup hosted by America. It's a racist regime but you can't use the worst racist because something something...
the republic survived a civil war, it will survive a dying pedophile. anything else is loser shit. we're going to win.
Average GOP Congressman: We err...uhhh...don't uh need uh...oversight of the DoD because uh...we trust the President to decide what's best Donald Trump: I AM JESUS CHRIST RETURNED TO EARTH THE POPE ISN'T MAGA AND HE'S WEAK ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS I AM GOING TO BUILD A HOTEL ON THE MOON
I think the spread of the original “So Israel isn’t a country?” post helped seed the ground for our current antisemitic wave. (Not criticizing Paul for using the meme format!)
Paul Crider@paulcrider.liberalcurrents.com · 5mo agoShorter Nimtz and Edwards.
"400 years ago no one did introspection" is an all time stupid guy thing to say. like, the kind dumbass bullshit that should embarrass any barely sentient person
It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
There must be trials. Not as an emotive aspiration, rhetorical meme, or empty threat. A concrete plan. A dedicated special court for it. Structural legislation and prosecutors and funding and all the rest of it. Everything necessary for it can be done constitutionally. All it takes is the will.
Nathan Kalman-Lamb@nkalamb.bsky.social · 6mo ago“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...
In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”
Cooper River Indivisible@crindivisible.bsky.social · 6mo agoYesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social
/5 We’re now in a struggle against frank evil, unapologetic bigotry and hostility to the Other, testing whether these values can endure. The values and attitudes of the show are encouraging about prevailing.
The President trusted a fart and it betrayed him JUST LIKE HE BETRAYED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE RT AND FOLLOW IF YOU AGREE
the evolution was Twitter. You needed a mechanism to link together the scum of the earth in the forums and the most powerful people in the world. Twitter became that mechanism
Real life is a lot like Star Trek, there's never more than twenty people on the plant at once, tops.

I’m a big fan of civilization. Rule of law, public health, universities, science, all good things. Great stuff. It may not be ‘politically correct’ to say this but I’m also a fan of what civilizations have done to idiot barbarian hordes who attempted to trample on those things.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
The anger people have at media institutions and college administrators can’t be detached from this, it’s not just that people can perceive cowardice it’s that they see others with more on the line doing more to stand up for their values than the people who have been trusted to safeguard things
History is made by people who do things, not people who deliberate interminably over the risks of doing things, and that’s why Trump is making terrible history while every prominent Dem of our era will soon be forgotten as irrelevant trivia.
I am molten with rage that the land of the free has become home of the Okhrana disappearing people off the streets for not having their papers.
I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 7mo agoSenator Gallego weighs in as well. Note that at the start of 2025 he was considered a *moderate* on immigration and co-sponsored the Laken Riley Act. Him and many other Dems have been increasingly horrified at what ICE is doing and shifted away from a "more enforcement" focus.
trump and his republican party are infected with the same death cult imperialism that brought the world to cataclysm twice in the twentieth century. there's no reasonable sane sensible foreign policy way of dressing up this "strategic logic." history is explicit: this is madness.
the real problem, though, is why are people like you and me so mean and disrespectful to Trump and co
Average Sunday show interview: OFFICIAL: we are going to dip enemies of the state into acid vats HOST: how will you pay for it? OFFICIAL: tariffs HOST: critics say tariffs don't generate acid vat money OFFICIAL: tariffs have generated more money than has ever existed HOST: thank u for ur time
to despair and embrace cynicism was to hand powerful weapons to the enemy
