I, a middle aged white woman, just had to explain "woke" to my 91yo grandma. 😩

🤢

Just learned that feds want to use the Patuxent Research Refuge for DHS and Secret Service training and are planning to clear a whole lot of forest intended for conversation and scientific research to do so. I called my congressperson. There is a lot going on but they cannot have Patuxent for this

Smokey the Bear is 90 years old according to another TV ad.

Smokey is older than Isnotreal.

Also MS Now is a truly terrible rebrand

MELANIA is a movie???

Watching live TV is a wild ride.

Lawrence O'Donnell is an annoying twat.

IMO I don't even think we can say the country and its infrastructure is experiencing "pen testing."

It's more like it's all been booby trapped. Every bad actor impacting our safety could be "raptured" overnight, and we'd still need to finish the dismantling and start fresh.

I said the same thing when this happened in 2024 though I had more exotic culprits in mind.

We do not have a functioning federal government, and I see no reason to pay taxes to thieves.

The House voted 341 to 79 to fund Trump's war-mongering foreign policy agenda.

Only 57 Democrats voted NO.

I really hope people start to be able to answer this question for themselves soon.

You know who “radicalized” me against the police as a system?

The police.

Not “socialists”. Not “Marxists”. Nobody identifying as Antifa.

The police did it, by doing what they do continuously in the USA.

Bombing Venezuela while coordinating a genocide in Palestine while threatening to attack Iran (again) while destabillizing Somalia while carrying out a heist in the DRC...

US imperialism is the greatest threat to peace and security in our world today and it's not even close.

one problem with learning is it will make you so angry at how stupid everything is

‘It’s surreal’: US sanctions lock International Criminal Court judge out of daily life Canadian judge Kimberly Prost is unable to use credit cards, transfer money or book everyday services in what she calls an attack on the independence of the judiciary

Worth noting that even as Trump bombs Venezuela to unilaterally seize Maduro on domestic US charges, the ICC judges who voted to investigate US war crimes in Afghanistan face such severe US banking sanctions that they are for all intents and purposes excluded from modern life.

For their anti-immigrant, white nationalist post about 100 million deportations, DHS stole the artwork of a non-white foreigner: Japanese illustrator Hiroshi Nagai.

Apparently no white Americans were available to design an image. View Nagai's work here: hiroshinagai.com/contents.html

The incel Nazi trolls who posted this would also do well to google "critical mass" and try to figure out what would happen to America's food supply, healthcare system and transportation network if 100 million people were suddenly removed.

It’s worth saying out loud that this is Nazi propaganda. They’re not winking and nodding. It’s pure unadulterated lebensraum.

nobody needs AI to create graphic novels. ai will, in fact, never be able to create anything worthwhile. you're literally stealing the motivation, training, and confidence to make comics away from these kids you creep, leave them alone!!

Attorney General Pam Bondi is ordering the FBI to “compile a list of groups or entities engaging in acts that may constitute domestic terrorism,” according to a Justice Department memo published here exclusively. The target is those expressing “opposition to law and immigration enforcement; extreme views in favor of mass migration and open borders; adherence to radical gender ideology,” as well as “anti-Americanism,” “anti-capitalism,” and “anti-Christianity.”

Stay safe, US friends. The FBI is compiling a list of domestic terrorists and I for one satisfy the criteria in all five possible ways.

Struggle's an abstraction to them. They can conceptualize a news article. But they sanitize their entire lives of poor people. Including online. They don't do mutual aid because they see no mutuality or commonality. For them, people who need help are distant objects of pity.

My dog loves on everyone and just expects it back. I never thought about it like this and now won't stop thinking it.

I'm in several pro-Palestinian groups and each includes many anti-Zionist Jewish people. It makes me curious who you're in community with?

We could just stop paying taxes that are used to kill us and fund genocides. The 10 people still working at the IRS are kind of busy and likely don't care much.
