The protest is the advertisement, the community-building is the product. Just drawing people in does little good if they are not offered additional means of growth in the movement.

this part I also didn't get but then I saw an NBC anchor goggling open mouthed like a 12 year who just saw boobs for the first time because the Iranian foreign minister was like"yes we will fight if you invade" and they really don't think of other people as having any sort of agency, it's wild
Bluesky is, it must be admitted, full of bloodthirsty cunts who demonstrably don't care about children killed by US bombs in schools or US children killed by anti-trans peers' negligence and inhumanity.
Mark the "Kamala wouldn't bomb Iran crowd" regretfully supporting as we do, in fact, bomb Iran.
Ukraine is now forgoing ANY goodwill it had by participating in upholding a genocidal regime and its puppet.
Imagine: I'm helping the people blowing up 150 schoolgirls as an opening to a special military operation (read: NOT war.) against international law.
Fucking clowns.
The myopia around Graham Platner for Progressive Libs is something that needs to be studied. Smacks of desperation, and I don't know why they have just totally buried their heads on this one.
Additionally what so many of the "No one's talking on Bluesky" people are actually saying is "I am lost and confused when there's not an algorithm to shove content into my eyeballs with no effort on my part"
βParliament had turned over its constitutional authority to Hitler and thereby committed suicide, though its body lingered on in an embalmed state.β

This is why Iran's course is so important. It shows us that every other country bowled over by this administration merely had to say "no" at any point.
Letting Trump walk back his stupidity without a modicum of pushback from "allies" is a large part of why we are in this situation to begin with.
Lowkey surprised Netanyahu didn't air strike the funeral a la Obama
If America's "Golden Goose" is no longer providing eggs, do we not eat the goose?

Met Mr. Dodson at a protest today. Any candidate showing up to talk to the people and promising to separate NM from the war machine gets my vote.
Time for the #NM Primary season
Kim Jong Un has the chance to do the funniest thing.
No one knows, Calvin. No one knows. Go play with your tiger... π«₯
Reminder, @grahamformaine.bsky.social was a soldier for fortune enforcing exactly this imperial line like a decade ago. Weird.
I'll take dumbass nationalist false flag for $500
If the US had paid attention in Afghanistan, Libya, or Palestine, this wouldn't be a surprise.
for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc
Eisenhower overthrew democratically elected Iranian Prime Minister Mossadegh in 1953. Literally a stepping stone to where we are now.
Y'all see the hypocrisy here?
Oh, and medical experimentation on trans people is back.
It is my opinion that Mamdani's primary responsibility is rehabilitating the Moderate Democrat. He makes popularian gestures which appeal to the "progressive" Liberal and cost the rich basically nothing. But when the time comes to take a stand and spend some actual capital, crickets.
This was always the US military. Too many took the 9/11 pill and just never recovered.
Not since Reconstruction was murdered by the appeasement class
Israel's regime has armed terrorists, killed Americans, and fueled wars across the Middle East.
But killing a dictator is not the same thing as having a strategy.
Trump is shifting goals in real time. Thatβs dangerous when Israeli lives are on the line.
If the government "expects more casualties," there have ALREADY been more casualties, and they aren't telling you.
War. War never changes.
Here we go, to the lands where empires die.
I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over
These are not draftees or conscripts. They bought a false bill of goods and look like fools. Buying in more has nothing to do with being bullied by mean protestors.
The most power they have is to dismantle from the inside, whether that means removing themselves or some apparatus from the equation.
