Your grandfathers didn’t storm Normandy so you could be afraid of the word antifascist or “antifa”

No, apparently not.

Yep.

To be fair, IRL the most common reaction I get when upset about something that absolutely warrants being upset about are folks saying that demanding better of elected/appointed officials is too much agita for them and/or isn't their business.

Valerie Jablow @vjablow.bsky.social · 5h

Yes.

Yes.

Without health insurance, my covid vaccine cost $260, and there are entire areas of the country where it's not available for any amount of money.

Some people are more equal than others.

Working 15 days in 4 months, getting paid for that and every day beyond it, with better healthcare and retirement plans than 99% of Americans.

And they refuse to release the Epstein files.

Mother fucker! The House has been in session only 15 days since July.

Its October!

GOP are loser slackers! Imagine if you only showed up to your job 15 days in 4 months.
They get 175k a year in salary.

Her pants were pulled down by ICE. That is why some of the videos are blocked out.

Would love to know how that is not sexual assault?

@thehillishome.com:

Big shoutout to the folks who keep putting up posters in our neighborhood that say the truth about the fascists in our midst.

Those same fascists spend a lot of energy tearing the posters down.

But the message remains true.

Valerie Jablow @vjablow.bsky.social · 10h

You are too kind:

The layoffs were done out entirely of spite; grift; corruption; and hate. The entire federal government is being run by republicans on that platform.

Valerie Jablow @vjablow.bsky.social · 10h

Does the restraining order say anything about PULLING DOWN THE PANTS of those ICE decides to handcuff--like they did on this journalist?

Asking for 330 million people.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

After first WTC bombing, the US Gov issued an arrest warrant for KSM. He was in Qatar. A Qatari Royal gave him the heads up that the US was coming to get him and he fled to Pakistan. From there, he linked up with Bin Laden and became the mastermind of 9/11.

Now Qatar gets an Air Force base in US.

The Rutgers TPUSA chapter — whose characterization of a historian there as a “outspoken, well-known antifa member” led to death threats and moving his family to Europe — think *other* people are being “blatantly defamatory.”

Not them, though. They’re doing politics the right way.
