I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa...
Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

I am increasingly convinced by the argument that Trump's inner circle is showing him AI videos of whatever they want him to believe

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

No protest from 6am to 9am in the Broadview free speech zone.

Just here with a handful of press waiting to see if we can catch the Texas National Guard arriving in Broadview tonight.

Incredible.

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.

TRUMP: Would you like to see it done? I'd be glad to do it. Does everybody agree? It sounds good to me

this wasnt colonialism either I suppose

🍁🍄Sarah🍄🍁 @legndofphoenix.bsky.social · 8h

Wouldn't this just literally be evidence of western colonization?

Also it's pretty racist to just lump in all Arabs together like these aren't all their own countries?

This South Side Weekly report on the Chicago building raid is well worth reading. Most striking to me are the indications of collusion between federal authorities and the building owner and management to effect a mass eviction at the blighted property. southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

Anyone claiming Dems need to be “more centrist” to win is either a conservative who wants Dems to lose, a bot, or a total fucking idiot who is choosing to ignore all available information and/or has no morals/beliefs.

Why would someone vote for you if you believe in nothing and just change your opinion to whatever is popular? I think that makes Democrats look weasely and spineless to the average person.

But you already got what you wanted! Not even a full year ago! Dems ran a center-right campaign aimed exclusively at what you consider centrists(committed GOP voters) while abandoning lgbtq people and every other progressive cause and vulnerable group. Remember what happened?
