Propaganda 101: when your plan is so deeply unpopular than violent force can’t put down resistance, reframe giving up as your own idea & victimize your perps

Hey #KY, even our bad politicians know this is a bad thing and they’re trying to “idk” my way out of it #kypolitics #protest #protestors

Most in the #US aren’t paying attention to #KY ‘s #senate race. Ppl in #Kentucky think the country doesn’t care. But now when so many elected #Dems are pussyfooting #ice /murder, @booker4ky.bsky.social is not. Please boost to find #Kentuckians & undo #mcconnell ‘s legacy to our state. #protesters
When ice takes over the streets and makes it dangerous for people to leave their homes, we put down salt to melt it.

In Kentucky, Minneapolis, and across the country, we must stand in solidarity. ICE has caused enough terror. It must end.

This is my “SALT” plan.

It’s SUPER important that we know what ice is doing is illegal. We MORE important we acknowledge it would still be outrageously wrong if it was legal

It’s very important to remember what language is being used. Otherwise they can frame an execution as a “fatal shooting” and you picture two equally armed people trying to hurt each other and not a militarized group murdering a man held down on the ground

When white men are being murdered and small children are being kidnapped by an aggressive, unchecked police force it’s past time for you to wake up. We’re at the end of the poem

Hey if your party senate leader is most concerned about how #ICE will effect midterms they don’t care about killings and brutality and disappearings
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told The Associated Press that recent immigration raids throughout the U.S. are creating a sense of chaos that voters will reject in the midterms.

A #Dem dropped from #KY’s #Senate race for #McConnells seat saying the #US doesn’t care ab #Kentucky. If you live here, THESE are the people to watch if you wanna #flip the seat! It can be done - the #GOP is fighting hard to retain it. #redstates have flipped! Make ppl care ab ky #politics

Disgusted by major #news outlets trying to “both sides” horrific avoidable violence in the #US. Idgaf if ICE has families, we do NOT need to “come together” with them to keep the peace. #ICE is relying on the #media to humanize them as they froth at the mouth to kidnap and kill #fuckice #cnn #cbs

#KY!! #AndyBarr is running to be the next #McConnell & has repeatedly shown to be more extremist!! His outright approval of this should jar you. he’s no more than a “yes man.” He does NOT have #Kentucky interests at heart in #Washington or #politics. This is #Iraq again - we know better. We must act

Teach a man who hates socialism and votes for authoritarianism to farm and he can receive socialist handouts for life from the government that bankrupted him in the first place.

I fear not enough people are realizing that if #SCOTUS can legitimize a unilateral decision to redistrict power, we actually have no rights or freedoms

Trump is getting rid of the Department of Education. You know who suffers the most?

The kid in Eastern Kentucky whose only meal is school lunch. The special needs student whose aide gets cut. The rural teacher buying supplies with her own money.

Hope those billionaire tax breaks were worth it.
Trump administration launches plan to dismantle Education Department
The department will shift responsibility for several of its core functions to other federal agencies.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Wait… so if #immigrants have been a long standing problem #Dems didn’t address, why are they JUST NOW destroying the economy? This vile hatred can’t be tolerated or normalized any longer. Spewing hate so bad they have to put “blame” in the headline is embarrassing.
