making getting assaulted by armed agents of the state into a funny meme is like unironically how we get critical masses of dumb white boys in the streets, Portland frog is a hero and a patriot

I am not a DSA member and I have various grievances with different local DSA chapters and committees, but I will 100% join and start paying them dues at the first sign that Trump is going to weaponize DOJ and DHS against them.

Stephen Miller’s entire life has been building to the ecstatic moment where he gets to press a button and have some political dissident murdered. The ultimate power fantasy. He cannot be dissuaded from it, because he will always find his way back to it; it has the same magnetism as any other fetish.

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."

Still waiting for a more efficient explanation of everything than "Everyone got brain damage from Covid": the airline executives charging a $155 predatory premium for legroom, the guy deciding to customize his own flight experience, the chain of command aborting the whole flight—busted mind-traffic!

Kashmir Hill @kashhill.bsky.social · 17h

This is absolutely wild. I’m on a cross country flight. We are being diverted midway through to Denver. The reason? Some dude is sitting in the exit row who didn’t pay the $155 fee and he refuses to move back to his seat.

Once upon a time, the social media accounts of federal agencies weren't a stream of fascist, white nationalist garbage interlaced with whiny culture-war posts. Earlier this year, even!

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

you're both right in the sense there have been some bangers this year but the hit to miss ratio has not been where i personally would want it to be. IMO there's a lot of brute forcing shit and not letting new songs breathe before adding more new songs to the mix but everyone's mileage seems to vary

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 1d

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

go ahead and pedant me to death abotu "who we truly are" ( agree anyway) but i simply do not believe the american myth and self conception is "i relate best to the boot standing on the neck" - i still think we consider ourselves freedom loving individualists

i wonder if a sufficient number of viable democrats have it in them to effectively counter a narrative of "i am tanking the economy, firing everyone i can, and sending soldiers to push you around if i dont like the way you think, and also lee greenwood is the only music allowed"

more and more I am convinced a good share of why Trump 2 is so much worse than before is because of what Elon did to Twitter. it's like those group chats where people gassed themselves up to join ISIS, scaled up a millionfold
