To spell it out, the reason I hate democrats so much and criticize them more than I do republicans is because they take up all the space for opposition to republicans and use that space to give republicans whatever the fuck they want.

when democrats want to stop something (single payer healthcare) they stop it.

when they don't (fascist dictatorship) they don't

the reason elected dems aren't doing anything to obstruct or hinder, let alone stop the nazi coup is because they don't want to.

reminder that the reason democrats don't do x, y, or z to stop, slow, or mitigate the horrors is that they don't want to

"Here's how dems could block--" They don't want to

"Here's how dems could win-" They don't want to

"dems should-" they won't

they are working with the enemy, they are helping the enemy, they do not give a fuck about you or me. it's up to us.

It's not mutual aid because that person's not part of your community apparently even though you see them online, but why don't people get that we must expand our notion of community & get out of who white capitalism says is it is even to band together to get through our fascist predicament.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

my tweet: Democrats are enthusiastic partners in the fascist project and are playing their role exactly as written

A small number of demonstrators attempted to protest/march in the street.

Massive number of ISP troopers in riot gear responded by blocking 25th, threatening arrest, shouting into megaphone about an unlawful assembly.

They're talking about killing leftist activists. They're talking about murdering people organizing in defense of immigrant communities, doing mutual aid work, and protesting their violence. They are talking about murdering people like me and my friends. We must do more than acknowledge it's fascism.

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."

a deluge of centrist libs finally left twitter after the election because rachel maddow and the krassensteins came over. They brought all their bad takes with them and immediately started telling people who'd been here for years to "go back to twitter"

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
