Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

They say they’re sick over this. They were there. They witnessed everything. There was zero provocation. They usually document what’s happening in Minnesota and let people form their own opinions, but this one, like others they’ve seen, is hard to process. Around 9:30am this morning, a ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Who at this point still denies that the US is a fascist regime now, is a fascist. Even if your bubble is completely on the political right, you can't any longer claim it's not obvious what's happening.

Folks demanding political / ideological purity fail to see that this is no longer a movement belonging to the left / liberals. This is an opposition against fascism. By definition it must be big tent. Failure to grasp this: see divided oppositions in Eastern Europe as your failed examples.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

I'm probably a little late to the party, but I just realized Americans are now actually paying taxes to a government to brutalize, oppress and (direct or indirectly) kill them. Must be an odd feeling to be obligated to pay your abuser for abusing you.

I actually wish "Antifa" would be that thing they claim it to be, because a fully structured, well funded and widely connected organization fighting fascists would be exactly what we would need right now. ...instead we have keyboard warriors and *checks notes*...Hakeem Jeffries?

Now we at least know the answer to the lingering question: The US Military will undoubtedly follow illegal orders. It's just a matter of time when it happens domestically.

Stephen Schwartz@atomicanalyst.bsky.social

“A wide range of specialists in domestic and international law regulating the use of force have argued that Mr. Trump and Pete Hegseth … are giving the military illegal orders and causing Special Operations forces to deliberately target civilians … in violation of murder laws.”

Watching fascism in the US from the outside is like watching a relative who's a chain smoker being diagnosed with cancer. You was always wondering if it would happen, maybe even tried to warn about it. But now that the diagnose is made, you are still shocked that's much worse than you ever expected.

Realized about 3 months ago we are in big trouble - focusing on the possibilities of war, fascism and recession. Two days ago I looked closer into Climate Change and how Trump's policies might affect us there - I'm now what is called "collapse-aware", realizing we are all dead in 30 years or less.

Heisenberg 1922: I had been firmly convinced that science...was above...political strife...Now I made the sad discovery that men of weak or pathological character can inject their twisted political passions even into scientific life.

He's rightfully criticized for his questionable actions just a few months ago, but right now he's the only one who seems to understand the seriousness of the situation. Everyone should support him right now, at the very least to amplify the message. (You can support Mamdani AND Newsom! Fuck Purism.)

What most don't get is: Fascism isn't a political system. You can't debate it, or vote it out. Fascism is the destruction of politics. This is why you can't use the political system it is destroying to stop it.

I know I'm a self-righteous intolerant prick about this, but if you share anything related to 'bigBrother' on here, you are an instant block. Your country has fallen into fascism and you let your brain rot away with that shit? God help us all.

Trump's budget bill just passed. That gives the american Gestapo a higher budget than the entire Israeli Army. The budget cuts will kill 40 thousand Americans a year and will transfer Trillions of dollars to billionaires. ... ... I really don't know what to say.

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas. So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget? The answer is: you.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️
