Hitler had his "Brownshirts" who committed violence on his behalf, Trump has his "Red hats" who serve exact same purpose.

Today's liberals would've done nothing while Indigenous nations got wiped out and African people got enslaved. They'd probably profit off it, just like they've done now. "Lesser evilism" is not resistance to fascism or Nazism. It's the lubricant that keeps the machine of oppression running smoothly.

LA STUDENTS WALK OUT AGAIN-

High school AND middle school students have taken over the streets in front of LA city hall for the 5th straight day of anti-ICE, immigration rights protests. This won’t be slowing down anytime soon

When is the rest of LA going to start joining them?

Floored to receive this beautiful comment from Amy Carter, daughter of President Jimmy Carter.

She proudly elevates her father's legacy in promoting justice for Palestine & calls upon everyone to keep that legacy alive.

I'm sorry, what? The US military absolutely should not have its own media network. And this launched under Biden, not Trump. This is obviously going to be abused in the Trump administration to stream propaganda to the military to radicalize them rightward. How is that not obvious to everyone?
U.S. service members, Defense Department civilians, military retirees and their families living overseas together have watched more than 1 million hours of American Forces Network streaming TV since the service launched two years ago, according to the DOD.

From United Health to Robert Brooks, 2024 is ending with lessons about violence. We need to enter 2025 as radicals, committed to getting down to the root, addressing systems and structures, and building the organization and capacity to create a new world.

A recent study confirmed that Republicans are more likely than Democrats to share misinformation they suspect to be false, motivated by a strong desire to win.

Jimmy Carter was probably the least harmful president of the past half century and he was replaced by a ghoul precisely for that reason.

Friendly reminder that not guilty and innocent are two different things and the court only determines whether a person is guilty or not guilty. Innocence is irrelevant.

The police work for billionaires.

They’ll attack a strike, they’ll arrest protesters, and they’ll devote themselves to making CEOs feel safe.

Not only do cops defund our cities, they work overtime to stop us from building a better world.

“DOGE” is the vanity project of a white supremacist worth half a trillion dollars who just bought a presidency and is openly tweeting about buying Congress. So of course liberals have somehow “I condemn Hamas” themselves into constantly saying they support it before criticism.

Human Rights Watch found Palestinians in Gaza had access to two to nine litres of water a day in many areas, far below the 15-litre threshold for survival, which contributes to the spread of diseases and death.

Frum was the head cheerleader for Iraq War criminals. He insisted that Black Lives Matter was *equivalent* to MAGA and he compared Bernie Sanders voters to Nazi brownshirts. Now he’s a sad clown. These skies were bluer before he arrived from Twitter.
I've spent most of the past year in misery. I've dreamed of quitting everything to drag out the rest of my life in some obscure place, knowing no one, doing nothing. Today I'm reminded of a line of Charles Dickens': "recalled to life." There's no furlough from this fight.

If you’re not yet radicalised against the status quo in the West: what the fuck more do you need? Do you need someone to come burn a child alive in your living room? Will it take capitalism killing a loved one? How extreme must the horrors get before you reject this madness?
