“And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.”-Nemik, 5 BBY

Demonstrators at the Indonesian embassy in Netherlands.

Indonesian anarchists have called for demonstrations at Indonesian embassies around the world as a way to express solidarity with the uprising that took place there three weeks ago and discourage state repression.

They're going to keep going until they get trans people killed. They want trans people murdered en mass.

A screenshot of a repost by Elon Musk of a tweet from Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog). The tweet reads: “Transgenderism is a death cult. The largest, most well funded, and deranged death cult that this country has ever seen.”

We really didn't mean for our How to Not Do Misinformation and Rumors episode to come out at the exact moment the internet became 90 percent bullshit that people saw in a dream about the Charlie Kirk shooter, but that's what happened.

Do you feel overwhelmed by the amount of information that's out there? Do you feel uncertain what to believe, what to think is fake, and what's a rumor?

Wild how political alliance with Zionism sweeps all sorts of wild statements about Jews under the table

Kirk said that Jewish people control “not just the colleges; it’s the nonprofits, it’s the movies, it’s Hollywood, it’s all of it.” Kirk also said ”the number one funding mechanism of radical, open border, neoliberal, quasi-Marxist policies, cultural institutions, and nonprofits" is “Jewish donors.” Claims that wealthy Jewish people and donors control major institutions and Hollywood are common antisemitic tropes.

This is why violence happening to them is abhorrent, but violence happening to us is simply the natural order of things

Boytits Ascendant @boytits.bsky.social · Sep 11

They are in no way being hypocritical within the confines of their own ideology.

They believe in a monopoly on legitimate violence and they believe it should be *theirs*

The national level Democratic Party has rendered itself farce by immediately jumping to protect and whitewash a fascist stochastic terrorist while also downplaying his violent behavior and incitement.

I won’t vote for a party that sees Kirk as a “thinker” or as someone “doing it the right way”

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

"Charlie Kirk wanted me deported and sent to a concentration camp, then possibly killed at some point but nothing justifies killing him"

these fucking liberals are spineless.

Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan.bsky.social · Sep 10

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.

We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

“Anarchism is not a set of answers. It’s a set of tools with which to find answers.”
Excerpt from “Anarchism and its Misunderstanders” by @margaret.bsky.social

A digital graphic of the quote “Anarchism is not a set of answers. It’s a set of tools with which to find answers.” From Margaret Killjoy framed by a pair of bolt cutters along the bottom, a wrench along the top, and an anarchist circle A in the top right and bottom left corners.

Here’s another sketchbook portrait piece that I got a little too invested in. I had a ton of fun playing with the red ink elements. 🪲

An ink drawing with digital color of a person from the shoulders up. They have a messy bun and straight bangs w an undercut and a white stripe through the bangs. They are framed by red sparkles, barbed wire, and a June bug

The fascists are building the narratives and intellectual infrastructure needed for a prolonged confrontation with democratically held cities and state.

Americans really are not willing to confront the reality that much of the pan right movement sees blue states and cities as enemy territory.

“Simple fix. You steal a car, 25 years in prison. I don't care if you're a teenager," Charlie Kirk raged while demanding a "full military occupation" of Democratic cities "once we liberate DC."

Charlie Kirk calls for ‘full military occupation’ of US cities ‘once we liberate DC’

‘We got to go hard. We gotta go big league. We're talking National Guard, tanks — every street, you need military,’ Charlie Kirk exclaimed on Monday.
