Fascism basically super sucks but this is kind of cool that we can sometimes still use technology to connect with each other & have a good time even when fash say we can't do it in person

8 minutes until Kneecap's in my bedroom

The Kneecap special $15 live stream show they're doing cuz their US tour got cancelled by fascists and actually so did their Canadian shows. It's images of a bunch of TV screens saying things like live and uncensored from Ireland to North America and across the global, and a count down timer then reading 8 minutes but it's actually only 6 minutes now lol

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.

During the Sept. 30 raid one tenant protected a terrified girl and her mom. Remnants at the complex, including a detailed map of all the units, offer clues to what authorities may have known before th...

Those are three people in inflatable frog suits.

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

It's almost as if aging, cankled Trump telegraphed his enemies list publicly!

Criminal charges against John Bolton expected as early as next week

Federal prosecutors are considering filing charges against the former Trump national security adviser as either a rushed complaint or an indictment.

As a reverend, this guy is both really articulate and politically compelling, and the Robert Redford rugged good looks don't hurt.

A multi-denominational vigil of religious leaders at every ICE facility being protested would also be a powerful political device.

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 9h

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

my genuine theory is that dems know once they admit to a little of the fascism they have to admit to all of it and they are trying to avoid that at all costs

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”
