Our federal government has the stupidest goddamn rules. Why should one person have the power to prevent an elected official from taking office? And Mike Johnson violates his oath every friggin’ day, so it’s not like it means anything.

activists are doing a lot of good work to try to help the people being brutalized but the biggest and most important thing that needs to be done is to break the regime, by any means necessary, and absurdist mockery is proving to be an extremely effective part of the arsenal

It should not be understated how much clever shit like this actually annihilates morale at places like ICE/CBP.

Getting made fun of like this on national television while people laugh at you is.. well, you may call it victory wine, but it ain't.

Yes, you should be surprised and horrified by secret federal police running around our city kidnapping immigrants, crashing cars, launching chemical weapons and shooting and killing people. This is a thing you should be *perpetually* shocked by. We lose when we become numb to it.

The Young Republicans institutionally denounced the Hitler-praising, ferociously antisemitic and virulently racist messages in their leaders’ group chats, calling for resignations.

The VP of the US says it’s “pearl clutching” to care and changes the subject.

They’re freaking out!!!

Trump’s cabinet secretaries falsely claim Dems are keeping the government closed because of the “No Kings” mass protests, and Mike Johnson calls it the “hate America rally.”

The truth is: we love America, but we hate tyrants. That’s why we’re doing this.

Chicago is 231 square miles. You never know in what neighborhood where the kidnappers will pop up next. So people literally track the military helicopters always thundering overhead to try to figure it out.
