Own Goal Dept: liberals called out for choosing toothless, performative acts *always* pivot to even more lurid examples of the same.

Similar to Democrats who have been in office for 25 years demanding, in a crisis, "Well, what should we do?"

thinking about the liberal politicians willing to try to compromise with fascists by abandoning minority groups they don't really like - i wish they understood that fascists will come for everyone eventually. even themselves. fascism unopposed is a ruined state with everyone dead

just watched a dozen people ask microsoft copilot experts their most pressing questions and those questions were 90% “how do i turn it off?” and “when i turn it off, is it really off or is it spying on me?”

You genocide voters will never fucking learn, will you?
We have all watched the Dems bend over for trump & you STILL think that people who didn't vote for that are the problem. I'm not a Dem or a Rep & my vote is earned, not given to the current cult leader of the current top elitist party.

As I observed in my Substack Round Up this past week, the endgame of the military strikes against drug cartels in international waters is to lay the groundwork to use lethal military force against Americans at home. Pay attention open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

Coming in hot with the full-diaper, power-philistine mode, huh?

ICE is definitely for you. On your app, be sure to include 'multiple deployments gargling Pritzker spunk.'

Captain Kramer @captainkramer.bsky.social · 13h

ICE is hiring bruh. You'll fit right in and billionaire Gov. Pritzker will pat you on the head, but only if you're an extra-liberal fash-loyal enabler goodboi.

It's wild that liberals with have things like "antifa" in their bios, while their skeets indicate support for cops and they endlessly cheer for Dem politicians like Pritzker that are literally responsible for this. They don't seem to understand that fascism is a bipartisan phenomenon.

Not if you're part of the positive-thinking cult, devised and maintained by capital to manipulate and enforce the obedience of disposable tools of profit generation.

Barbara Ehrenreich's Bright Sided speaks to this phenomena.

Are you confused about the role of the law in state-federal relations?

Does doing, or seeing others do, the right thing in a crisis cause you to panic and project?

If so, you may be a liberal and should pipe the fuck down. Stop making excuses for the powerful. They don't care about you.

Pritzker's lying was time well spent making liberals believe he intended to do something. During this interval, ICE further solidified and expanded operations.

Pritzker is a billionaire. He's actively assisting ICE and that will not change.

Brandon Friedman @brandonfriedman.bsky.social · 17h

Up to this point, Governor Pritzker has said all the right things. If they're not backed up with action — specifically, control of your own law enforcement organization — then they were wasted breath.

Illinois State Police issue a final warning to disperse from in front of the Broadview ICE facility, a full 20 minutes before the protest curfew time.

Politicians are only the hired help.

The destruction of public institutions and resources, now intensifying, is the goal of private power.

It will not be halted by asking nicely; this requirement is why liberals are accomplices to fascism.
