I gaze into the blue sky and am overcome by the dizziness of freedom to choose my own-most feeds.

This regime is built on lies.

IndividualAngst @individualangst.bsky.social · 12d

Quote from Vaclav Havel's the Power of the Powerless (1978)
Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. If falsifies statistics.

It’s bullshit that the best workable strategy we’ve got is waiting for a cult leader to die.

The regime cannot be believed. This is most likely lies and disinformation to further unleash the ICE goon squads on citizens protesting their unlawful actions.

This from the great @sulliview.bsky.social on the media's anemic (or non-) coverage of the massive No Kings movement is such a great point

Ok its ‘feed it off an aux, speak, grunt no strength, the ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height, wire in a fire representing seven games, a government for hire and a combat site’.

It’s a constant struggle, but do not let yourself become acclimated or desensitized to the absurdities and atrocities of this regime.

IndividualAngst @individualangst.bsky.social · 3d

Illegally barring US reps from entering ICE facilities for oversight effectively makes these black sites on US soil. We now disappear people domestically for cruel and unusual punishment.

Make them go nuclear. Then if the Ds get a trifecta the simple majority in the Senate will be used to reorder SCOTUS, make DC and Puerto Rico states and make Rs pay for their crimes.

Trump now has his bribe-plane and a safe airbase by which to flee the country after he attempts his next coup in ‘28 and the people overthrow him.

Trump now has his airbase and bribe-jet by which he can flee the country when the people throw him off from his wannabe dictatorship.

Any news organization that treated "Will Trump Get Nobel?" as a remotely serious question, and not one more indication of his accelerating hallucinatory patterns, has some 'splaining to do.

Looking at you, all major news orgs.

Even a pause in the killing and displacement would be good and I share the cautious optimism that this could end this phase of the catastrophe. But it is wild that people are treating this as if it’s the negotiated end of the Russo-Japanese War, or even Camp David 1978.

Very astute for the Portland protestors to co-opt a frog as an anti-ICE mascot to brunt the racist MAGA groyper Pepe the frog meme.

One thing remains a constant: conservative or note, Marc A. Thiessen remains profoundly untalented and an exhausting nit.

Dem electeds and candidates need to explicitly run on:

- getting rid of qualified immunity for ICE
- every ice officer that breaks the law will be fired, going to jail and pensions revoked
- feeding the entire ICE department to the wood chipper.
- reorganizing all of DHS into a tiny fraction

Those who subject us to watching months of absurdities, make us numb to their atrocities.

“But we have to constantly ring the bell that this is not true, that the images are a lie, that there is no pretext because these places are figments of a fascist imagination.”

Liberal Currents @liberalcurrents.com · 6d

“There is no degree of acquiescence to Trumpism that will satisfy this administration or MAGA at large. All there is is a choice between offering a faint echo of the false reality they’re selling and creating dissonance by speaking the reality of the situation to the public.”

Our language has to meet the moment, and we have to be relentless about dispelling the fiction MAGA is selling.
