Do you like communism? Do you like angry trans people? Do you like sass and dark humor? Do you like Goth stuff? Do you like cats?

If so, you followed the right person. Welcome. Don't mind the oubliette.

This is equal parts ignorant and deranged and it’s odd to see otherwise intelligent people agreeing with it

How many times do we have to go over this? The majority of the Black population in the US lived in the South. LGBTQ+ folks live largely in the South. MANY of us did not vote for this.

The “hidden” fascists are the worst of all. They pretty themselves up for the masses to pass as heroes. But they are by far the most dangerous. If you can’t look beyond the overt fascists like Trump and Hitler, you are putting yourself and those around you in danger.

A new day and a new reminder that liberals don't know a lick of actual history. Just weird ahistorical accounts that were filtered through McCarthyist brain rot.

Antifascism is an ideology. One cannot be antifascist some of the time and then do race based atrocities the rest of the time. The segregated U.S. army wasn’t antifascist despite shooting Nazis. Just like an American cop arresting a proud boy isn’t suddenly antifascist.

As the neoliberals and corporate Dems get more dangerous and it becomes more clear than Neoliberalism has failed at anything except solidifying fascism. They are going to double down on this attempt to recuperate antifascism as a part of democracy when the reality is anti-fascism is anti neoliberal

Churchill was a genocidal colonist who literally oversaw concentration camps in Africa
Patton was an open racist and white power supporter.

It’s sad seeing y’all center right reactionaries unable to accept historic fact.

Reminder for those attending 50501 SoCal’s No Kings protest this Saturday. The organizers have a history of coordinating with LAPD pigs ahead of their parades. Here’s communication between the 50501 SoCal founders and LAPD regarding last April’s protest.

This is an insufficient and reductive definition of Antifa.

Antifascism is not a pro democracy movement, it is a liberatory movement. To conflate the two means the very nature of antifascism is lost on you.

He also blamed the people of India for their own starvation for "breeding like rabbits" after depriving their country of food. The guy was a racist monster who would have sided with Hitler in a heartbeat had the existing treaties been different.

The fact that you think Patton and Churchill were anti-fascist but Stalin wasn't is pure brain rot.

Anyone who would call Churchill or Patton an antifascist deserves ridicule of the highest order.

Your Nationalism is not Antifa.
Winston Churchill was not Antifa.
General Patton was not Antifa.
Your favorite Nationalist was not Antifa.
That's literally the point.

Calling it now that his cis defenders will use this to bludgeon us as a reason why we should vote for him while ignoring that he vetoed one of the most critical bills to trans people.

What people don’t understand about gutting disability rights is that even if you think it doesn’t affect you today it can one day.

Today, it’s Special Education.

Tomorrow, it’ll be the Americans with Disabilities Act.

1 in 4 people 20 years old today will become disabled before they retire.

one of the things that made liberals the angriest last year was pointing out when they argued that the US president has no control over what israel does and this biden couldn't influence the genocide that that position put them further right on the subject than fucking reagan.

One of the greatest tragedies of the Democratic party (among many) is the GOP has consistently been less willing than Dems to take shit from intransigent Israeli leaders. Not for the right reasons necessarily, but still. Biden should be deeply ashamed of the genocide he actively enabled.

ICE agents blocked ambulance from transferring an injured protester to the hospital, even going as far as to threaten to arrest and shoot the driver.

This crosses so many lines.

EMS and first responders need to be free to help whoever needs it.

Delays cost lives.

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now
