“This is what state government is for”: lowering the tv volume while federal agents vanish citizens and shoot them 7 times

He wouldn’t sign protections for trans people but he signed a bill to stop you from lowering the tv volume 4 clicks every 30 minutes. My god how presidential how fucking epic and world changing I want to suck the vote from his dick

(The book I started writing nearly 6 years ago that I haven’t finished or reworked a lot featured a sort of US Antipope and like whoops it’s the President)

It’s so fun how we have a Vatican that finally gained humanity talking to a majority of unaccountable ideological Catholics on the Supreme Court etc that would probably call the pope the antichrist while taking a small break from sucking trumps micropenis

Oh — new reporting on Pope Leo from El Paso Matters, citing footage they have of yesterday's meeting.

Sounds like the pope was even *more* forceful in urging U.S. bishops to speak out about immigration than first reported.

I mean, that's…not subtle. elpasomatters.org/2025/10/08/e...

“I was struck at the beginning (of the video), it talks about the feeling of powerlessness, which I think is so much. I think it’s so important that we as a church give a message of hope in the midst of these horrible struggles, what’s going on in so many cities in the United States right now. At least the church cannot be silent,” the pope told the El Pasoans, according to a video of the meeting provided to El Paso Matters by Hope Border Institute.

Seitz responded: “You’ve spoken very strongly. We’re trying to do the same in our country and yet not get into the political fray the best that we can.”

Pope Leo told Seitz that he’d like to see the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops become more vocal on immigration issues.

“I mean, even within the conference, there are challenges. That’s one place they should be … I wish they were stronger in their own voice,” Leo said, adding that Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the president of the conference, should speak out more on immigration.

“There’s been some good movement in that sense, but I certainly intend to continue to encourage” U.S. bishops to address immigration, Leo said.

I spent a stupid amount of time driving today and I saw a WI license plate that said “IQ” and another that said “X MAGA X” and sometimes I dream of a world where being a sicko Nazi results in something aside from having plausible deniability with the local police about if you’re abusing your wife

There are moments in time when even the pathological stop fearing death. Like when you realize you’re doing the atrocities and you refuse even when you might get shot (a shitty place to be but redeemable) you can also realize atrocities are pending and say no sans bullet. 100 years is a blink

If they come for me I will simply use my time in prison to write the novel I keep forgetting to write. You can’t scare me. You could execute me tomorrow and I would hold my head high because I spent 32 years of life being afraid of death pathologically and I got over it and you can too.

Idk what it is specifically it was never a racial or cultural thing it was more that I liked the darker more melancholy or “hard” sounding techno with a lot of intense bass and drum work and less the sort of tropical sounding shit that sounds like a timeshare vacation but my bias was wrong there

The Dax Symbiont 🏴🏳️‍🌈🌲🇸🇩 @thedaxsymbiont.bsky.social · 1h

For no particular reason despite speaking Spanish half well I’ve long had this kind of distaste for the tropical house of Latin America and now that I’m a little older it’s like oh wait this is the music that makes ICE agents cry themselves to sleep let’s fuckin go

The first season of ghost in the shell stand alone complex detailing the laughing man incident is perhaps the single most important season of a tv show ever made and is the source of my pfp lol

The original film? Or the original tv show? Or the subsequent films and tv shows? I am a big fan of most of the content. The prequel series and the Netflix post series that’s cgi and set in fucking Bakersfield California is all so mid but still better than a lot of anime lol

People disregard online community but on Twitter I fucking helped a stage 4 cancer having mutual to understand why his family weren’t being as caring as he wanted before he eventually appeared to have died and I’ve never had a conversation with another human that mattered that much before or since

I would not be who I am without this and I would face more covid risk than I tolerate to have this same set up in person it sucks but idk my life ended when Covid started and everyone I’ve met online is in my new space and all my old friends are like “hey I never mask come let me cough at you”

Yeah you’d be 1 for me to have some kinda group chat although I think I’m a little more spicy minded than you haha I have like a loose network of west coast anarchists I actually like interpersonally and respect for their theory and etc and aside from that its kind of a patchwork thing hard to unite

Like 5 minutes ago I bemoaned a lack of prison support and now I see that the fund that does the most of this work is fleeing the U.S. fucking hell. We aren’t going to lose but it’s going to fucking hurt the whole time

The International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund are also departing Trumpland, & 'exploring our options for re-establishing the Defence Fund’s infrastructure in a country not currently governed by fascists'.

'Donate & Support

In September 2025, United States president Donald Trump issued an edict declaring “antifa” a domestic terrorist organization. As a precaution, we have shut down the donation infrastructure for The International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund to protect our donors and recipients.

We are presently exploring our options for re-establishing the Defence Fund’s infrastructure in a country not currently governed by fascists and we hope to have good news about that shortly. Please stay tuned.'
