Can we please start using "ignorant" in place of "phobic" when it comes to bigotry ?

They aren't afraid, they don't have a phobia.
they are fucking ignorant and deserve to be told

When they start shooting people in the streets there will be a NYT story about their “controversial approach” and think pieces about “oh yes, there were warning signs… why did the Dems fail to adapt their messaging?”

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.

I love this because it forces officials to either back down from this narrative around how terrifying Portland is …. Or look into the camera and say they’re scared of this

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.

So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward

My duo with @miketrost.bsky.social is performing for the first time since 2017, this Sunday at @improvagogo.bsky.social. Come see us shake off the dust in real time!

A very ineptly made banner ad with photos of Mike and Erik obviously cropped from a larger image with more people in it. The text says "TROSTROM, 'performing at' Strike Theater 9/28, 10/5, 10/12." The word "Strike" and the dates are pasted on top of the theater name and dates from our 2017 run of shows.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."
