it's gross that most media has been driven by corporate influence, but it's really fucked up that a social media riot can't change shit, that it will require a physical riot

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

a) what's the difference between enabling nazis and collaborating with nazis

b) why should dems EVER agree/collaborate with nazis?

why are leftists the literal moral enemies instead of fascists?

when i was a junior in highschool (over 20 years ago), there was a random fight between two girls, and the on campus cop immediately deployed pepper spray

i knew nothing and was 10-20 feet away, but had to go home early from toxic inhalation

fascism rises with accepting the lesser evil

once again, you're fucking bypassing the facts and perpetuating propaganda

you're incapable of engaging in honest debate because that would require you engaging the failures of the democratic party

you're in a sycophantic cult

you're literally ignoring FACTS while acting superior

piece of shit

"it's almost as if someone from 1914 germany met someone from 2026 germany, they might have different opinions"

jesus christ, you're an ignorant fucking nazi enabler

biden didn't campaign on trans issues; activists literally died to get bipartisan PUBLIC support under trump, and more reps than dems supported medical transition for minors in 2021

arguing with activists instead of puppets of fascists is how you support fascists

your arrogant ignorance is gross

once again, you refuse to address how the dems failed trans people for 4 years, despite overwhelming support from republican voters

this is an extended deflection of your previous reply and has nothing to do with the content of my message, you're the one being dishonest

if you willingly accept him throwing trans people under the bus (agreeing with nazis about harming trans people)

then what other nazi compromises would you accept?

what's dishonest? don't just accuse, explain, it's short form media not designed for paragraphs of discussion

shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will

lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection

martin luther king wrote about liberal "moderates" being greater obstacles to equality than the kkk; how they feigned sympathizing with the cause, while still trying to control how the oppressed resisted oppression

it is a litmus test; just like Black people's civil rights in the 60's were a litmus test. are they human beings, or expendable "political unicorns", ie scapegoats?

people repeat the catchphrases of history, but ironically don't study or learn from them, just mindless scolding regurgitation

the society we could create with 1/10 the budget we spend on cops and the military is the society that fascists fear

capitalism is a shield for fascism

The public library is an essential component of a 21st-century left political project as an example of both what is already available to us and what can be improved upon in the future. The library is a public good, and it is free as a public service.

I want more people to make the connections.

jesus, at first glance the words "kevin bacon" from your post, and "epstein" from the one you're quoting made my brain fritz

My weird 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon in all this is that our pro bono defense lawyers in the Daylin Leach SLAPP case were also Gawker's defense lawyers in the Hulk Hogan case

Hard to overstate the damage to US-Israel relations done by the sense of entitlement and ingratitude reflected in comments like these and Netanyahu's own recent statements. Baseless misdirection to suggest that Israeli soldiers' deaths in Gaza we caused by some phantom US
"embargo" (when in fact Biden resisted enormous pressure to condition aid, as required by U.S. law, even as Israel rebuffed calls to facilitate more humanitarian assistance and reduce civilian casualties), and insulting to suggest that U.S. concern for people of Gaza was driven by
"Michigan," as if no other possible basis for concern comes to mind. If goal of Netanyahu and his partisans is to accelerate the sharp decline in U.S. public support for Israel, and to further undermine the bipartisan character of that support, this seems like good way to go about it.

I helped conveners organize a community meeting for a fifteen block area, with "Preparing For ICE" as the theme.

Less than 48 hours before the event we had to switch to Zoom.

First meeting, so no email list to notify.

And we STILL peaked at 234 people on the call at once.

People are *done*

At one point I had to gently suggest to someone that she probably should not try to organize full-on street barricades in an open Zoom chat
