They’re admitting they’re fascists

My hot take is that if does not actually matter to Palestine, or to any Indigenous population, what DNA tests show. I'm obviously not an Indigenous person but if my DNA showed I was 96% donkey and 4% tardigrade, it still wouldn't be okay to kill me and take my house.

It’s really weird to think about a potential Civil War that starts from a bunch of misled, racist poor people fighting for the rights of racist rich people

The first Revolutionary War was for rich white dudes

The second one needs to be for the rest of us

I just want to remind everyone that we didn’t enter WWII to fight fascism

And that we hired a bunch of Nazi scientists to work for us shortly after

Our government is shut down but nobody is paying attention because our president is an idiotic cunt who is sending troops to invade our cities for fraudulent reasons because he’s a pedophile.

The reason the Right are so invested in the myth that the arts have no value isn’t because the arts don’t generate wealth (they do); it’s that studying the arts teaches people to imagine better ways of judging the value of an idea than by counting how much money it makes…

The “paid protestor” horse shit is extra funny when you realize the only people who would be able to afford to pay all of these actors would have the same interests as Trump and his band of hooligans and therefore would NOT pay people to go against the regime

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.
