It's a good thing federal agents are very bad at pretending to be historians.

Topping up my ever dwindling 'Not British' juice like it's the last oxygen tank on the ship.

Tfw your being called unbritish because you're opposing a genocide.

Edited stills from the avengers movie.

Keir Starmer: it is unbritish to go to a protest on October 7th.

Mark Ruffalo: that's my secret chief... I'm always unbritish.

I can think of a couple big differences actually.

Kay And Skittles @kayandskittles.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah what slurs do we use for them!!

Kay And Skittles @kayandskittles.bsky.social · 4d

Unfortunately for them, there is such a huge gulf between public opinion and government action that these protests aren't going anywhere. They should probably take it up with the guys who are addicted to enabling genocide.

coppers are so fucking funny

"guys we can't protect vulnerable communities in the wake of a terrorist attack if we're busy mass arresting you for holding signs, that's actually really selfish of you :/"

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

what's funny is, as always, the liberals and progressives are ruminating over this and grappling with it long after the people who swore this meant a whirlwind would be reaped have completely forgotten about it. you can forget about it too!

Progressive students in the south have had to navigate “deeply uncomfortable” conversations with their conservative family members (after Charlie Kirk’s death), said John, a sophomore at Appalachian State University in North Carolina.

This whole 'does it serve you' turn in language recently is extremely creepy. Performatively demonstrating your power over an inanimate object. Yeah I guess you can do whatever you want, like be a dumbass.

Cronos is a lot of fun and the vibes are impeccable but doing this 'the communists made us LOCK DOWN and RATION because of a pandemic isn't that EVIL' routine in 2025 is truly crazy work, what the fuck are you guys talking about.

Just thinking out loud, I deeply empathise with what you're saying. It's fucking exhausting and embarrassing for us as a species/civilisation.

Kay And Skittles @kayandskittles.bsky.social · 7d

Maybe it's not super important but I wish we had better language for 'this person has been MADE dangerously stupid by these external factors, not some genetic reason'. Because that has undeniably happened to a lot of people and it's causing problems!! But it also maybe is more solvable?

There's a condescending 'people are dumb' read to this, but I think it's more that people react pretty logically to their environments and the state and capital have been really united in creating an information ecosystem where the problem is always the boats or crime or whatever else.

I guess for me this makes me feel less like there is something sick and evil in people, and more that we can trace this problem to a handful of powerful organisations/people.

There is no world in which some guy in rural Yorkshire even thinks about immigration most days unless every channel is telling him this is the Big Thing To Be Debated.

Kay And Skittles @kayandskittles.bsky.social · 7d

I don't know if this makes it better or worse but I think this stuff is a lot more top-down than it's often treated. Anti-immigrant sentiment would be nowhere near what it is in this country without our media consistently foregrounding it as a Fundamental Issue.

Bruh I was curious what actually got said so I googled Emma Watson and it's just a flood of headlines about how Rowling epicly owns ignorant 35 year old child for not hating trans people. Our media sucks so bad.

Just jk Rowling being a piece of shit, standard

Let me try one of these

Frame: ICE is arresting violent criminals who are in the country illegally

Negation: Most people arrested by ICE have no criminal record. They have also arrested green card holders and US citizens.

Kirby: They are doing an ethnic cleansing
