Greetings new arrivals. I'm Sam and for the most part I am but a humble shitposter.
I have a background in studying Nazi Germany, the late Russian Empire and the early USSR which I thought would be a neat party trick but then Timothy Snyder started appearing on MSNBC and now I hate everything

It's not an excuse, but it is worth remembering that mayors in most cities very much do not have control over their police departments if the mayor doesn't like something the cops want to do, a phenomenon that would be a red alert civ-mil alarm with the military but something we all accept w/cops

Greenland’s five main political parties have rejected Trump’s desire to take control of the country. They say only Greenlanders can decide the island’s future and stressed they want to be Greenlanders, not Americans or Danes, AFP reports.

Renee Good committed gender insubordination: she didn't cower & grovel to male authority. Many women are killed for the very same reason all over the world. We just call it by the euphemism "domestic violence" instead of what it is: a campaign of political terrorism in which any man can participate.
When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."
That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

There is something incredibly fucked up about how the GOP but particularly Trump's GOP has successfully hidden behind the "refuge in audacity"
as a person literate in 1980s film scholarship, this whole situation is just unbelievably on the nose
the male gaze, as depicted by a guy literally filming himself kill a gay woman because he was emasculated
if this was a film it would be panned as absurdly unsubtle

you watch this, and of course you don’t want him to be right, and that’s a good thing! in truth, you probably shouldn’t want him to be right! but it’s time to start reckoning with the possibility that he might just be.

Please understand what it means when journalists are evacuating their family members out of town.
In any other country, we would be approaching "foreign sanctions" territory

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

The Weight of Words
For HKers, language is our identity. We speak Cantonese. We write in traditional Chinese. And during the pro-democracy protests when it seemed like no one would hear us, we just made up some new words that speak our truth.

It's incredibly demoralizing to constantly see the highest institutions of government and academia and the most important and widely seen news outlets knuckle under one after another, but then to see the gulf between that and the bravery of communities and neighbors and teachers - that's something

Hasan is subtweeting AOC because she said Hamas is bad. he’s honestly so annoying.
It’s bad when:
-Hamas targets civilians
-Israeli settlers target civilians in the West Bank
-IDF targets civilians in Gaza
-ICE targets civilians in the US
I think that killing civilians is bad. it’s not that deep

A fascinating thing about the DHS account operator is all the references are weirdly old. The Proud Boys under Kyle Chapman picked this stupid song up as their anthem in 2020.
You don’t even need the Tronoto Holocaust Museum to tell you that this is a neo-Nazi anthem. Just listen to it.
They might as well be goose-stepping.
