"the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa"

An image of Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music, twirling on an alpine meadow in a long Austrian skirt, next to an image of Christopher Plummer as Georg Von Trapp in the same movie, tearing a Nazi flag in half.

The passengers on the St. Louis would love to talk to FDR about his commitment to antifa.

Lucy Steigerwald @lucystag.bsky.social · 12h

Absolutely not.

As someone else said elsewhere, "the girlfriend of the founder of antifa" was Eleanor Roosevelt.

Ok, but at least take their money close to last of billionaires.

They might take you up on the trophies. Taylor definitely would.

Watching the way the Trump administration is using criminalization as a weapon ought to make clear how criminalization works even in normal times.

"There's no such thing as an ethical billionaire"

Ok, but an awful lot of the time, that just sounds like making Star Wars or star wars is morally equal.

If everything is the same flavor of bad, you're actually not critiquing the truly bad.

Is it because you think the pie is the same size

Will I ever be anarchist enough to believe that like George Lucas and Taylor Swift shouldn't get to keep their billions? Probably not.

Exactly. And if they were taxed 90 percent or whatever, gee, what wonders would the government bestow upon us with that?

More propaganda with painfully normal people zip-tied at the side of the road please, this will for sure convince the American people that you're the good guys

Still frame from a video: Painfully normal people zip tied on the side of the road, sitting on a guardrail in a row

WSJ reports that DOJ is going to charge John Bolton.

In case you needed anyone less sympathetic to rally behind than Jim Comey.

www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Prosecutors in Maryland are expected in coming days to charge one of Trump’s first-term national security advisers, John Bolton, now a top Trump critic, with mishandling classified information, according to people familiar with the matter.

At least a thousand but most likely more folks marching in Chicago to protest the deployment of the National Guard and continued ICE raids. Chanting "whose city our city!"

one thing I learned during 2020 is that "less than lethal" munitions are explicitly designed to be shot into the ground so they lose velocity and bounce up into people and the reason I didn't know that before is literally NO ONE has ever deployed them that way.

Reporter's notebook: I actually began working on this story shortly after footage of the incident showed up last month.

But by the time I finally got ahold of folks, the story grew: 2 *other* faith leaders I spoke with *also* reported being shot w/pepper balls while protesting this ICE facility.

I'm still not over the 1990s movie adaptation of the Puppetmasters being more sexist than the 1951 book.

"we are going to murder americans without due process"

Prem Thakker ツ @premthakker.bsky.social · 16h

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."
